The proposal Community Fund DAO v1.1 Web5 Optimization Proposal has now been formally approved.
However, the infrastructure required for v1.1 still needs a period of development and is expected to be completed by February next year. During this time, v1.1 has not yet fully taken effect. After thorough discussion with the v1.1 proposer @zz_tovarishch and the DAO Funds Management Committee, I am issuing the following clarification—on behalf of the Committee—regarding the transitional policies from now until v1.1 officially comes into effect.
I. Coordination During the Transitional Period
Starting from the transitional period, @zz_tovarishch will be responsible for the DAO’s day-to-day coordination and organizational work.
His responsibilities include overall coordination and process facilitation for the DAO, excluding the following two matters, which will remain under the responsibility of the DAO Funds Management Committee:
-
Final arbitration of disputes
-
Execution of fund disbursements
We would also like to wish him every success in his upcoming work.
II. Common Questions During the Transitional Period
At present, the community is primarily concerned with two questions:
-
Can proposals be submitted during the transitional period?
-
Can the USD-denominated rules of v1.1 be applied in advance during the transitional period?
Before addressing these specific questions, it is necessary to clarify three fundamental principles that serve as the basis for all transitional arrangements.
III. Three Principles Governing the Transitional Period
-
v1.1 rules must be implemented as a whole or postponed as a whole; partial or fragmented activation will not be adopted
-
Projects approved under v1.0 will continue to follow v1.0 rules; only projects approved after v1.1 officially takes effect will follow v1.1 rules
-
We should provide maximum support to project teams, and avoid disrupting normal project progress due to the DAO’s own infrastructure transition
IV. Specific Arrangements Based on These Principles
Based on the above principles, the following clarifications apply during the transitional period:
-
Proposals may be submitted during the transitional period, but all such proposals will be processed under v1.0 rules
-
During the transitional period, we will work with Metaforo to fix the currently identified voting vulnerability that allows
re-voting after unbinding
- If the issue cannot be fixed in time, @zz_tovarishch will conduct vote verification and publish the results, which will take effect after confirmation by the Committee
-
Before v1.1 officially takes effect, all procedures will continue to follow v1.0 rules
-
No new meta-rule modification proposals will be accepted during the transitional period
V. Special Cases: Approved Proposals with Unfinished Milestones
There is one particularly important and complex issue that requires clarification:
Whether already approved proposals can adopt stablecoin-based pricing.
At present, this situation mainly involves two projects: CKBoost and DAO v1.1.
This issue has been discussed internally at length and presents a genuine dilemma:
-
Allowing stablecoin-based pricing would clearly violate Principle 1 (rule integrity)
-
Taking no action at all could result in insufficient funding for these projects, potentially preventing completion, which would violate Principle 3
VI. Temporary Off-Rule Solution (Personal Action Statement)
As this issue cannot be resolved within the existing rules, we can only seek a temporary solution outside the rule framework.
On a personal basis, I will:
-
Donate a portion of CKB
-
Reach out to a small number of other donors to help alleviate the funding pressure faced by the above projects during the transitional period
It must be clearly stated that:
-
This is my personal action and does not form part of DAO rules
-
This action is limited in scope and responsibility
-
There is no guarantee it will be expanded
-
There is no guarantee it will fully offset the impact of price fluctuations
-
-
If the funds raised are insufficient, that outcome will have to be accepted
-
Any surplus funds will be fully donated back to the DAO treasury
Additional clarifications:
-
This personal subsidy applies only to proposals that have passed final voting (Voting Stage) but have not yet been paid
-
It does not apply to new proposals submitted during the transitional period
-
Projects with a strong requirement for stablecoin-based pricing are advised to wait until v1.1 officially goes live
