## 🗳 **Onchain Proposals** 🗳

### 1. [Transfer 6,000 ETH and Idle Stablecoins from the Treasury to the Treasury Management Portfolio](https://alt.gov.arbitrum.foundation/proposal/86654545843645364200491220873325841239317939837732580673532485559601859962180?govId=eip155:42161:0x789fC99093B09aD01C34DC7251D0C89ce743e5a4)

This proposal, authored by Entropy, recommends transferring 6,000 ETH (accrued from network revenue) and approximately $150K of idle USDC from the DAO’s treasury into the Treasury Management Portfolio.

- **Yield Generation on Idle Capital:** Currently, this ETH is sitting idle in the L2 Treasury Timelock, generating no yield or strategic value.

- **Strategy Flexibility:** By allocating the 6,000 ETH, the DAO could generate an estimated 288.6 ETH annually. The funds will be deployed with strategy flexibility across options like liquid staking/restaking, lending, DEX liquidity provision, and call overwriting, aligned with treasury best practices.

_Voting ends in 2 days (May 7)_.
