DAO Updates
- We had a vulnerability that surfaced during a recent update and we were able to patch the vuln before it was exploited. Because of this, we’ve had to ask a few of the addresses who delegated to do so again. We have a list of addresses here and will compensate the extra gas payment as detailed in this post.
- We’re hoping to have more delegates to build a more robust DAO with a diversity of participants, so we’ve decided to expand our delegations of remaining pre-mine UDT to organizations that can help support the adoption and growth of the protocol and web3. Read more about it here.
- If you’d like to follow the progress of the DAO governance process and see all of the details at any given moment, head over to our Tally and check out the details.
- Please DELEGATE YOUR VOTES if you’re participating in the DAO. You can self-delegate or choose a community member, but please delegate! Here’s the details on our community site.
Grant Program
