🆕 ENS proposal reactivates SPP2 Superfluid streams by converting USDC→USDCx, pre-funding missed payments and recreating treasury→Stream Management Pod stream at 0.142599440769357573 USDCx/s (~$4.5M/yr)
The proposal reactivates SPP2 streams halted by a Superfluid autowrap failure by approving USDC->USDCx conversion, wrapping enough USDCx to pay retroactive missed payments plus one week of pre-funding, and recreating the ENS Treasury→Stream Management Pod stream at 0.142599440769357573 USDCx/sec (~$4.5M/year). This restores expected cashflow to SPs, reduces recurrence risk by ensuring the auto-wrapper functions and Superfluid will cover any liquidation fees, with the only cost being the treasury USDC used for retroactive and prefunded streaming; there have been no community discussions.
