Objective
To enhance capital efficiency, generate sustainable revenues, and optimize the use of idle DAO assets by transferring liquid funds to a managed multisig operated jointly by the DAO and Jarvis LTD.
Background
Currently, a significant portion of the DAO treasury remains idle and underutilized due to the absence of active treasury management.
Despite holding valuable assets—including stablecoins, volatile tokens, and protocol-native assets—the DAO has no ongoing yield strategy in place. As a result, it misses out on:
- Potential yield generation through low-risk DeFi strategies
- Capital deployment opportunities for protocol growth
- Contributions to reducing bad debt (particularly jCHF)
- Furthermore, DAO-wide management of liquid assets has proven inefficient, with slow execution and fragmented oversight.
Proposal Details
- Transfer of Liquid Funds
All liquid assets (excluding veTokens), as well as all the ETH of the JARVIS-ETH LP position on Aerodrome, will be moved to a 1/2 Safe multisig.
Signers:
- Jarvis DAO
- Jarvis LTD
This will allow Jarvis LTD to actively manage assets while ensuring the DAO retains access to the funds.
-
veSPECTRA specific case
Since veSPECTRA provides a bonus for LPs, and that JARVIS LTD will most likely LP in the pool, veSPECTRA should be transferred as well.
-
Asset Rebalancing Strategy
Volatile assets currently held by the DAO will be converted into:
- 50% ETH
- 50% BTC
- Stablecoins (USDC and jEUR) will remain unchanged.
- Yield Distribution
The yield earned from deployed assets will be distributed as follows:
- Buyback JARVIS: 50%
- Buyback bad debt (starting with jCHF): 50%
- Jarvis LTD performance fee: 10% of gross yield
Note 1: The JARVIS buyback may occur directly via AMMs or in batches depending on liquidity and slippage constraints.
Note 2: The bad debt buyback will happen at the discretion of Jarvis LTD, when the price of the jFiats are at their lowest.
- Excluded Assets
- All veTokens (e.g., veAERO, vlAURA, veTHE, vlQUO) but veSPECTRA will remain under the control of the DAO multisig.
They will continue to be used for governance, bribes, or strategic voting.
- Mandate Duration and Reporting
- The treasury management mandate for Jarvis LTD is valid for 12 months.
- Jarvis LTD must publish a public report every month including:
- Portfolio breakdown
- Yield earned
- Actions taken
- Performance fee accrued
Reports must be accessible via the DAO’s governance forum or other designated platforms.
Rationale
This proposal aims to:
- Unlock idle capital to generate yield
- Accelerate bad debt reduction, restoring confidence in jFIATs
- Provide consistent buy pressure on JARVIS
- Establish a professional, responsive treasury structure
- Maintain transparency and DAO oversight via shared control
Jarvis LTD has the operational capability to manage funds efficiently and act within predefined boundaries, while the 1/2 multisig ensures DAO security and ultimate control.
Stakeholders
- Jarvis DAO: Benefits from buybacks, debt reduction, and improved tokenomics
- JARVIS holders: Gain value from buybacks and protocol growth
- jFIAT holders: Gain from improved peg and confidence
- Jarvis LTD: Gains a performance fee for execution and fund management
Metrics to Monitor
- Treasury yield (monthly/quarterly)
- Cumulative JARVIS bought back
- Cumulative bad debt repaid (especially jCHF)
- Assets under management in the treasury multisig
- Performance fee paid to Jarvis LTD
- Monthly transparency reports
Conclusion
Transferring the DAO’s liquid treasury to a jointly managed safe and allowing Jarvis LTD to deploy capital under strict rules is a pragmatic and efficient approach to restoring capital productivity.
This strategy supports JARVIS buybacks, jFIAT peg restoration, and ecosystem health, while maintaining DAO oversight and transparency.
