Summary
In response to valuable feedback from the Orca community, the proposal posted on Friday (regarding risk mitigation initiatives and Treasury recomposition) has been split into two separate proposals so that tokenholders can respond to each issue independently. If passed, this proposal will authorize the conversion of 50% of the SOL in the Orca protocol fee treasury (the “Treasury”) into USDC.
Description
In Q4 of 2022, the Council passed a proposal to convert fees accrued to the Treasury such that the Treasury was balanced into 80% USDC and 20% SOL (based on the then-current market value of SOL). Fees are automatically converted when they enter the Treasury wallet. However, because the value of SOL has increased significantly in recent months, the overall composition of the Treasury has shifted away from the intended 80/20% split. To honor the intent of the previous proposal, the Council proposes to convert 50% of the SOL currently held in the Treasury into USDC.
This proposal was discussed and considered during the Orca Governance Council meetings convened on 13 March 2024 and 29 March 2024. Unanimously, all Council members in attendance endorsed the submission of this proposal for an on-chain vote.
