GM 77.2 - Rethinking our Eth to Stable Mandate

Author:

Defi Beats

Abstract:

With the market showing some signs of life. I propose changing our rebalancing mandate to 5 months of stables vs our current 8 months.

Motivation/Rationale::

We want to position the DAO into a stance of strength as we enter the next bull market. One of the best ways to do so is to ensure our treasury can capitalize on Eth’s upward price movements safely but with size.

Best practices is to have somewhere between 3-6 months of expenses in cash

Proposed New Mandate:

5 months of expenses

Pros :

As Eth rises, our treasury will grow more quickly.

Cons:

If we experience an extended downturn of more than 2-3 months our treasury will contract further than with our 8 month mandate.
