Governance
Project Updates / Announcements
The proposal seeking to adjust and release allocations for our full-time core staff is now up for voting on Snapshot! If passed, this proposal will amend the terms of P-9: Short-term Treasury Allocation to Retain Core Staff to adjust and immediately release allocations to insulate against further market volatility.
A new draft proposal for DAO Operators is available for discussion on the forum. This proposal aims to define the role of Core Operator and all its responsibilities. In short, these members are dedicated to D_D and will help drive the execution of work towards our goals as a DAO.

Be sure to weigh in on the discussion and vote on our active proposals! Each one is equally important, and all help form a stronger foundation for Developer DAO as the off-season ramps up.
