Kelp hgETH Integration Under Review

Lazy Summer DAO is considering adding @KelpDAO's hgETH vault to the Higher-Risk ETH strategy to diversify beyond lending-heavy allocations.​

Active Governance Items:

  • [RFC] Kelp hgETH Onboarding - Open for delegate and community feedback
  • [SIP2.​40] - Vote live to add 3 WETH strategies (Aave v3, Compound v3, Spark) to HR ETH Fleet

Recently Executed:

  • [SIP2.​39] - Successfully removed sUSDX/USDC market from Arbitrum vault
  • [SIP5.​14] - Upgraded RAFT contracts across all chains

New Tools: Delegates now have access to SIP Number Tracker & Index via dSheets on @fileverse for better governance coordination.​

Community input needed on active proposals to shape protocol development.​

Active Risk Management Determines Protocol Survival During Market Stress

**Active risk management** is becoming the key differentiator for protocol survival during market downturns. **BlockAnalitica's Role** - Plays crucial part in setting protocol risk limits - Provides ongoing risk assessment and monitoring - Helps protocols navigate volatile market conditions **SUMR Transferability Milestone** - Next major governance decision point approaching - Could significantly impact protocol operations - Community input will be critical for implementation **Why This Matters** - Protocols with robust risk frameworks show better resilience - Proactive risk management prevents reactive crisis responses - Governance decisions directly affect user protection and protocol stability The focus on **risk-first approaches** rather than reactive measures is proving essential as DeFi continues to mature and face market challenges.
