**Summary**

Maple DAO to invest $100,000 from its Treasury in [dHEDGE dTOP Index](https://app.dhedge.org/dtop).

**Background**

[dHEDGE Top Index (dTOP)](https://app.dhedge.org/dtop) is DeFi’s first actively managed index. According to their recent [Medium post](https://medium.com/dhedge-org/5-major-daos-investing-in-dhedge-dtop-index-b2dd934733d4), dHEDGE is a unique tool for DAOs due to the following features:

> **Transparency** - Pool managers’ past trading activity and track record is clearly visible  
> **Self Custody** - Investors keep custody and control over their positions in the pools, they can withdraw whenever they see fit and not have to abide by anyone’s schedule  
> **Competitive Performance** - Managers on dHEDGE are automatically analyzed across multiple metrics. Investors can allocate capital to pools on performance, risk, strategy and other categories  
> **Receive performance mining reward** - For participation in dHEDGE pools, investors can earn extra rewards in DHT tokens, currently around 15% APY  
> **Multi-sig capability** - DAO’s can manage dHEDGE investments using multi-sig through the dHEDGE app on [Gnosis Safe](https://gnosis-safe.io/)

**Motivation**

After a successful initial token distribution in April, the Maple DAO currently has funds available for investment in the Treasury. By committing $100,000 USDC to the dHEDGE dTOP Index, Maple would be able to earn interest on a portion of its Treasury and benefit from the features outlined above. This proposal is aligned with Maple’s mission of supporting the DeFi ecosystem & enables us to build partnerships with DAOs whose values align with our own. We see the potential for Maple to also be used as a treasury management solution for DAOs to deposit liquidity in future pools.

**For Position**

Maple DAO should invest $100,000 USDC of its Treasury into the dHEDGE dTOP Index.

**Against Position**

Maple DAO should NOT invest $100,000 USDC of its Treasury into the dHEDGE dTOP Index.
