We have received a lot of inbound interest to join this working group session. In order to ensure the most efficient use of our limited time, we put together an agenda for the call.
Agenda:
3 minutes - Intro from @entropy laying out where we are on the treasury management conversation and how we got here.
5 minutes - @Pepperoni_Jo3 / @r3gen_Finance to discuss the DAO’s high level spend/revenue, ops budget short comings, treasury sensitivity to ARB volatility, ARB’s historical inflation, and general takeaways from Regen’s most recent Token Flow report.
5 minutes - @Bernard from @Areta to discuss their views on overall financial strategy
5 minutes - @tnorm from @gauntlet to briefly discuss the perceived shortcomings of the previous karpatkey proposal, and how they see the best path forward.
5 minutes - Q&A for Gauntlet
5 minutes - @justErik and Mona El Isa from @Avantgarde will walk us through their current proposal on the forum and how they view the best path forward.
5 minutes - Q&A for Avantgarde
Remainder of time allotted for open conversation.
Some key questions Entropy has identified that still need to be answered:
- Sizing of active treasury management, and where the sourcing comes from i.e. ARB or ETH?
- Many team/investor unlocks, GCP funds overhang, incentive programs, etc. have all led to high monthly ARB inflation versus circulating supply.
- Is it important that we diversify infrastructure providers, or is it more beneficial to have all assets in one place for the ease of reporting and transparency/onboarding new managers to a system that is well known within the DAO.
- How important is it to the DAO that the infrastructure solution is non-custodial?
- What is the mandate/primary goal of active treasury management? Is it growth focused, or is it about generating passive yield? How much should be allocated to each bucket?
- Is there any inspiration we can take from the STEP program’s design?
- How do we measure risk adjusted returns and hold treasury managers accountable?
- Is the DAO budget a prerequisite to treasury management? If so, who will be in charge of this and how much extra time does it add to the process?
This list is non-exhaustive, and we encourage others to come with other key talking points that this group will need to work through over the coming weeks/months.
