1. Overview:
This sub-SIP details the payouts to be made for previously approved referral campaign, detailed here: [SIP5.5] Enable onchain referrals and update AdmiralQuarters contracts on all chains to support Referral Codes.
The payouts are made on Base and include;
- 541.7182 $SUMR
- 37.839811 $USDC
- Total recipients: 94
2. Motivation:
The Lazy Summer Protocol’s referral program (as introduced in [SIP5.5]) requires monthly settlement of rewards earned by referrers and referees.
June referral period has concluded, and users have accumulated SUMR and USDC allocations based on activity tracked in the Lazy Beach Club Dune Dashboard.
This SIP is necessary to transfer the required tokens to MERKL and enable users to claim their rewards transparently and trustlessly.
