Title: Create Stablecoin Allocation
Author: filipv & Mr. Goldstein
Date: 2022-06-26

Thesis

Re-purpose the the 1,000 ETH that were taken out of the multisig for staking to purchase DAI over the next 8 funding cycles.

Motivation

A stablecoin position will make Juicebox DAO more resilient to ETH price fluctuations and increase the longevity of the DAO.

Risks

  • Juicebox DAO will inherit risks to DAI–smart contract risk, pricing errors, market irrationality, oracle attacks, user abandonment, and risks to Maker DAO are all a factor.
  • Missing out on some potential upside of ETH. If ETH goes to $10k, Juicebox DAO will miss out.
  • Missing out on ETH yield due to the temporary elimination of staking

Specification

  • Utilize the 1,000 ETH that were previously allocated to ETH staking to purchase DAI
  • Each funding cycle, queue a 125 ETH 0x limit order at 105% of the 5-day ETH-DAI moving average with a 7-day expiry on matcha. Keep queuing these orders every week if ETH allocated to this position is unspent, for up to 12 funding cycles from this proposal passing.
  • Every other funding cycle, exchange 50% of the DAI that the DAO has accumulated over the last two funding cycles for Compound CDAI.

Rationale

  • DCA strategy is more resistant to market fluctuations.
  • Limit orders reduce risk from short-term volatility.
  • CDAI is conservative but more reliable, which is important for a treasury of this size.
