Voting ended over 1 year agoSucceeded

  • Token Asset Name -

    • wrsETH

  • A description of the project and the token -

    • KelpDAO (https://www.kelpdao.xyz/restake/) is one of the largest liquid restaking protocol built on top of the Eigen Layer. Restakers on Kelp get access to multiple benefits like restaking rewards, staking rewards, and DeFi yields.

  • Latest stats:

    • USD 600 Mn+ (~253k Eth) TVL

    • 50K restakers onboarded

    • Live across Ethereum mainnet and 9 L2s such as Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Scroll, Linea etc.

    • Withdrawals are enabled on Kelp and rsETH holders can unstake rsETH for any of the LSTs and ETH on KelpDAO on Ethereum

    • Bridging of rsETH across L2s is facilitated by infrastructure by LayerZero

    • KelpDAO has undergone multiple security audits by top-tier audit firms including Sigma Prime, Code4rena, and MixBytes. More about KelpDAO’s security here: Kelp DAO Audit reports

  • Benefits to Moonwell Community

    • From Moonwell’s perspective, any new asset is a source of additional revenue and expands the ecosystem as a whole. LRTs are a great use case for Moonwell as it is one of the fastest growing ecosystems.

    • With wrsETH being one of the top LRTs, integrating it as a collateral asset will create new demand on Moonwell. This will be beneficial for both Moonwell and Kelp. In addition, wrsETH depositors will accumulate additional Kelp miles and EigenLayer points.

  • Use cases for wrsETH market on Moonwell

    • Having wrsETH on Moonwell will allow users to earn Kelp Miles and Eigenlayer points while supplying and borrowing against wrsETH.

Privileged Roles:

  • Timelock proposer - https://app.safe.global/settings/setup?safe=eth:0xb3696a817D01C8623E66D156B6798291fa10a46d

  • Kelp Manager - https://app.safe.global/home?safe=eth:0xCbcdd778AA25476F203814214dD3E9b9c46829A1

  • operators -

    • 0x7AAd74b7f0d60D5867B59dbD377a71783425af47,
    • 0xF2099c4783921f44Ac988B67e743DAeFd4A00efd,
    • 0xa7cDC32Cb1cc6E705C9F386441F0B1f6df44a963

None of the privileged roles have custody of user funds at any point.

The timelock proposer is a community multisig responsible for upgrading contracts after a 10-day timelock delay. This proposer has doxxed signers from the broader community, not just Kelp.

Manager is responsible for changing configurations of contracts. This includes the frequency with which staking happens etc.

Operators are responsible for operations at a smart contract level. This include making calls to auto-compound rewards, stake ETH, process withdrawals etc-

Pausability

All Kelp contracts are pausable by the manager multisig. This is done so the team can respond to emergencies if any. However, it is only the Timelock Proposer that can unpause the contracts. This means that the team can only pause the contracts to prevent any damage etc. The resumption can only happen after the community leaders come together and agree it's safe to resume the protocol. There is no blacklisting mechanism of any sort at Kelp.

Upgradability

As mentioned above, only the timelock contract has the power to upgrade the contracts. The timelock delay is 10 days and the proposer is the community multisig.
