Upcoming Patache Digital SteadyMATIC & SteadyUNI Cellar Proposals
Goal
The goal of this forum post is to discuss the upcoming proposals asking Governance to accept the Cellar smart contracts for Patache Digital strategies:
- SteadyMATIC
- SteadyUNI
The two proposals will be submitted simultaneously next week. Both of the two strategies will use the same smart contract source code.
Context
Patache is a strategy development team with a background in traditional finance and risk management. For more background on Patache, see this post: Strategy Provider Spotlight: Patache Digital.
Patache recently launched the SteadyETH and SteadyBTC strategies on Sommelier. Please see the corresponding forum posts for more details on those strategies and Patache more broadly: [SIPS-016 & 017] Upcoming Patache Digital SteadyETH/BTC Cellar Proposals
Since then, we have been exploring strategies for altcoin such as MATIC and UNI. While WETH and WBTC are two of the most liquid assets, we believe that there is an opportunity in Sommelier to offer strategies that appeal to more targeted and niche communities.
The SteadyMATIC and SteadyUNI strategies operate similarly to the SteadyETH and SteadyBTC ones: they attempt to predict volatility in their respective tokens, and capitalize on upward price movements with risk-management as a first principle.
We wanted to take the opportunity to discuss these upcoming proposals with the community before the vote formally takes place next week. We are happy to answer any questions the community may have.
The two strategies will be executed on-chain by 7Seas on behalf of Patache as part of 7Seas’ strategy integration services. See the two proposals below for more information.
We will update these proposals with concrete backtesting information in the coming days. In the meantime, we’d like to gauge community interest at a high level.
1. Proposal for cellar authorization for strategy SteadyMATIC
This proposal is for the authorization of the SteadyMATIC Cellar. The strategy for the cellar is provided by Patache.
SteadyMATIC is a long-only strategy that aims to predict large price changes in MATIC, and capitalize on those predictions while ensuring long-term capital preservation. It accomplishes this by only risking a small percentage of the portfolio on any given trade. For more details on the mechanics of the SteadyMATIC strategy, see the post (the post covers the SteadyETH/BTC strategies, but the fundamentals are the same): Patache Steady Strategy Light Dive | by Sommelier Finance | Nov, 2022 | Medium
If approved, the chain will accept signed function calls submitted to the cellar contract from the cellar manager.

The strategy for the cellar is provided by Patache, including strategy development, continuous maintenance, and signal generation. 7Seas Capital has developed tooling and infrastructure as per Governance proposal SIPS-012 and will manage the proposed Cellar. Management of the Cellar means that 7Seas will act as an intermediary institution by providing strategy integration services to Patache, including forwarding strategy signals generated by Patache to be submitted on-chain for execution.
2. Proposal for cellar authorization for strategy SteadyUNI
