Leagues and Labs Merge

The following is an extract of the proposal posted on the Idle governance forum.

Summary

Following the successful launch of Junior/Senior Best Yield Vaults, and the consequent synergetic relationship infused with the entire product suite, this post seeks to formalize and validate the transition to the Idle DAO for funding the future development and deployment of Idle DAO product suite by Idle Labs.

This proposal aims to formalize and validate that, starting from February 2023, the Idle DAO and Leagues will fund the efforts and external involvement of Idle Labs in the decentralized development of the DAO and its product suite, with the goal of pushing important new features to the forefront of the product suite and contributing to the overall success and strength of the Idle DAO ecosystem.

Specifications

With the merge with Labs and Leagues, the overall Leagues structure won’t be impacted and will maintain multiple functions collected into Treasury, Development and Communication Leagues

The only component that will be modified is the expected budget for M1-2023 (and for the future Mandates as well). From the previous budget, reported at the beginning of Jan 2023, the Idle Leagues will assume a new expected budget and cost structure for M1.

The new Leagues' monthly burn rate becomes $43,300 in stablecoins or equivalents and 19,898 in $IDLE (with a 20-day rolling average price).

Taking into account that Jan 2023 won’t be covered via the Treasury League multisig, at the current time there’s no need to move additional funds to the Treasury League multisig to fund M1’s new cost structure.

As part of this new budget, we gave significant consideration to the continued economic health of the DAO and the variety of tokens requested, consequently cutting Idle Labs’ burn rate by 25%. If the treasury health and diversification will improve and take place, we will reserve the possibility of reviewing the cost structure via another proposal.
