Thank you @Llama for the interesting proposal.

In consideration of the more fund-like nature of LDI (given its relatively generalised scope and stablecoin allocation), could you perhaps elaborate on the reason(s) why is Llama interested in launching LDI not simply as a Set Protocol Set but as an Index Coop Index instead?

Great idea here @Llama!

I’ve been working with a few DAOs on treasury management and we’ve run into a few issues that might be helpful for you.

Liquidity of “productive assets” is a major hinderance as the size of the portfolio grows. For example ibBTC allocation of 15% and if your portfolio was $2.5m it’s a total value of $375,000 in holdings. A trade of $100,000 has a price impact of 1.51% vs wbtc which has .25% impact. Just the price impact alone could offset any gains in interest without the additional smart contract risk.

This only gets worse as your portfolio grows. I am a huge fan of productive assets but the pros and cons need to be weighed carefully especially when your adding unknown smart contract risk.

My thoughts around DAO treasury management should be centered around the DAO and its needs. Also with something as complex as a DAO choosing the simplest option is usually the best. Creating a portfolio around BED + MVI + DATA + PAY might have a bit more flexibility depending on the DAO’s needs.

Hi @anon10525910, @Pepperoni_Joe, @dylan,

Can a snapshot vote for LDI be scheduled for Monday 16th August along with any other particulars needed to advance LDI through the governance process.

Let’s Do It :llama: :owl:

Hi everyone, quick update on product status.

The product has been reviewed by EWG and they’re aware of what is needed to develop the product. Many of the components are already being worked on along side $PAY.

We have a few minor fee negotiations to complete but other than that we’re making great progress.

Once these final pieces are complete we’ll schedule DG2.

Hi Everyone,

We have finished commercials for $LDI and are now focusing on preparing the GTM strategy to include in the DG2 post. We’re hoping to have everything ready by next week or the week following.
