Governance
Project Updates / Announcements
Work continues towards the #code-claim-site and $CODE Contract. There is still work to do and rigorous testing to follow afterward, so there is no specified timeline yet. You can follow the progress in the #code-claim-site and #tokenomics channels.
There are two new draft proposals up for review and discussion on the forum. The first is A Work Identity Solution for D_D, which will see contributors rewarded with verified D_D NFTs. The second is a proposal outlining Developer DAO Off-Season 0. Unlike the proposal Defining Off-Seasons, this one focuses on the unique needs to adequately prepare for Season 1.
Help Needed
Join the discussions on the items mentioned above! Your input is valuable to ensure all perspectives and ideas are considered before formalizing the proposals.
