Summer.fi DAO Consolidates Governance Infrastructure on Base
Summer.fi DAO is streamlining its governance structure by consolidating assets and operations onto Base as its primary hub-chain. **Key Changes:** - Assets are being bridged from spoke-chain timelocks to a central hub-chain timelock on Base - This consolidation is part of a broader governance infrastructure evolution - The move follows the DAO's earlier migration from Tally to explore alternative governance platforms including Snapshot, Aragon, Agora, and others **What This Means:** The DAO is moving toward a more centralized governance architecture on Base, simplifying operations across multiple chains. This technical restructuring aims to improve efficiency in how the community manages protocol decisions and treasury assets. Full details available in the [Foundation instruction post](https://forum.summer.fi/t/foundation-instruction-bridge-assets-from-spoke-chain-timelocks-to-hub-chain-timelock/822/2).
Summer.fi Publishes Guardian Multisig Transparency Report
Summer.fi has released its latest Guardian Multisig transparency update, detailing operational interventions and protocol safeguarding actions. The report covers: - Operational interventions taken by the Guardian Multisig - Protocol safeguarding measures implemented - Ongoing transparency around emergency controls This continues Summer.fi's commitment to transparency, following the launch of their Guardian Multisig reporting thread earlier this year. The transparency initiative was first introduced after an incident with Resolv, which resulted in zero protocol exposure. The full report is available on the [Summer.fi forum](https://forum.summer.fi/t/guardian-multisig-transparency-reporting-thread/787/4).
Summer.fi Approves April Staking Revenue Distribution

The governance proposal passed following the standard community voting process. [Read the full proposal](https://forum.summer.fi/t/sip3-13-4-sumr-staking-v2-usdc-payout-april-2026/821)
Summer.fi Approves April Delegate Rewards Under New V2 Framework
Summer.fi's April delegate rewards proposal has **passed** under the newly approved V2 framework. **Key Framework Features:** - Fixed reward budget of $1.4k/month - 85% participation-based allocation - 15% performance-based allocation using PRS (Performance Rating System) - Includes Aerodrome signer rewards - Mandatory participation requirements The V2 framework, introduced by a working group led by Curia_gov, aims to create a more **sustainable, predictable, and aligned** rewards system for delegates. This marks the first distribution under the new structure, moving away from the previous model to better incentivize active participation and performance in governance. [View full proposal](https://forum.summer.fi/t/sip3-11-7-delegate-rewards-distribution-april/834)
Summer.fi Reopens ETH DAO Vault with 5,000 ETH Cap After Fluid Exit
Summer.fi has proposed reopening its ETH DAO Managed Vault with a new deposit cap of 5,000 ETH, up from zero. **Key Changes:** - Vault reopens following withdrawal from Fluid Lite market - New deposit cap set at 5,000 ETH - Re-enables user deposits - Restores strategy capacity for DAO-managed operations The proposal ([SIP6.3](https://forum.summer.fi/t/sip6-3-set-eth-dao-manage-vault-deposit-cap-to-5-000-eth/835)) continues the platform's DAO-managed ETH strategy, which previously operated under BlockAnalitica's risk framework with exposure across 13 markets. This follows the earlier SIP6.2 proposal that established the vault with a 10,000 WETH deposit cap and 0.3% fee structure.
