Governance & proposal updates

  • Governance upgrade updates
    • Enable RARI Staking: First audit for staker wrapped about a month ago, second audit completed end of December. Remaining steps to go live:
      • Dec 22-24: Fix anything uncovered by the audit contest.
      • early January: Configure reward source. That work is tracked in the Staking Incentives thread
      • early January: Connect the staking contracts to the UI
      • (optimistically) mid- or (pessimistically) late-January: all the pieces should be in place to make a DAO proposal to turn on staking rewards
    • [RRC-XX] Rari Staking Incentives: Discussion regarding how to add Staking Incentives now that Tally’s staking proposal has been approved. Updated comments HERE
      • Status: Jana and Jaf connecting to make updates to the proposal
  • Forum

Community discussion - notes

  • Sixty - please add voting timelines to public community calendar
    • Can do! Will confirm once the old vs new calendar is sorted
    • Can also refer to the “Keeping updated” section of the RARI DAO Knowledge Base for notifications from forum and Tally
  • Additional RARI DAO Resources re: important links and DAO channels
    • EXT: RF Delegate Onboarding Deck - III - all delegates had to attend one of the onboarding sessions, and the delegate telegram chat is linked on slide 16, plus other RARI DAO documents
    • The weekly highlights (starting back up this week) also always have these resources linked on the bottom of every post under “RARI DAO Resources”
    • Reminder, I will be doing an audit of all these documents and resources as a priority in the New Year, so if you have more suggestions or requests, I’m all ears! Also pending GWGs mandates from the pilot, it may be a joint effort on some of the updates but TBD and will have more info after the next meeting January 13, 2025
  • Bitblondy - Is there any written source, where we can find all the DAO wallets? Preferably with links to explorers and who manages them. I wasn't aware there's more than one treasury.
    • Tally treasury for RARI DAO is closer to $20M. Note there may be a wallet not included and some loans to partners. Will confirm
  • Bitblondy - Is there a financial report on all the funds? Would be important to know for the operational budget. I was checking the treasury report here and the transparency report here and it's a little bit confusing. (-:
    • Treasury report is an independent report from the GWG that they self-organized and published
    • Quarterly transparency reports are published by the Foundation after being presented live in community calls and approved by the Foundation director, plus an annual report that we discussed today will be published by the end of the month
      • Elika and I are happy to meet with you to review too!
