PTIP-54: Treasury Management
PTIP-54
Simple Summary
We are looking to increase the yield obtained by treasury assets while also keeping a low-risk profile and trying to shift more attention to V4 instead of V3.
Abstract
This proposal will move the funds from PoolTogether V3 to PoolTogether V4 and Notional.
We will also be transferring TRIBE rewards from the LAAS program to the executive team. This TRIBE will be then staked to earn around 29% return.
Apart from those transactions, this PTIP will also withdraw $16K USDT on Polygon from PoolTogether V3 Reserve and swap it to USDC. Afterwards it will be deposited as prize liquidity into V4 (not delegated to any address). These transactions will be done by the Executive Team.
Motivation
For a long time PoolTogether Treasury assets have been sitting on V3. This incentivizes prizes on V3 while also generating some yield for the PoolTogether protocol. PoolTogether V4 has now been live for almost 4 months now, however, we have not shifted the attention of Treasury funds to V4.
By moving sponsorship funds from V3 to V4 we will increase the TVL and invite more users to use V4 instead of V3. Apart from that, we will also earn a higher yield for the treasury, as all the amount earned will be directly received by the treasury.
Specification
Overview
This proposal will withdraw the current USDC and DAI reserves, as well as the USDC sponsorship, and move those to V4 ($3,790K USDC) and Aave ($480K DAI).
Rationale
Multiple protocols have been discussed as valid alternatives to deposit PoolTogether Treasury funds into. As outlined in this governance forum post (https://gov.pooltogether.com/t/treasury-assets-management-1/1989), after a previous analysis Aave has been picked to deposit around 12% of the stablecoins, while the rest is put in PoolTogether V4.
