[SIP #9] Turn ETHx and USDCx into yield for the DAO

The following reflects the views of the Lampros DAO governance team, based on our combined research, analysis, and ideation.

We are voting in support of SIP-9.

We support this proposal because it’s a practical step toward making the DAO’s treasury more productive. Upgrading ETHx and USDCx to earn yield instead of sitting idle creates real, recurring value for the DAO and aligns well with long-term sustainability.

We like that the plan starts simple with Aave integration and doesn’t overcomplicate things. Still, we’d encourage a cautious rollout, start small, run a full audit before deployment, and share regular yield reports so the community can track progress. Having clear safety measures, like a pause or withdrawal option, would also help build confidence as we scale.

On how the yield is used, we agree it’s better to stay flexible for now. The DAO can later decide how to allocate it between buybacks, audits, or operations once the returns are consistent.

Overall, SIP-9 is a sensible, low-risk move that strengthens the DAO’s financial position and shows responsible treasury management.
