The Arbitrum Foundation plans to allocate $250,000 to support the establishment of independent GrantDAOs by the Arbitrum community. These GrantDAOs would administer grants directly, subject to certain guidelines, recommendations, and conditions. The goal is to decentralize funding sources and promote resilience within the ecosystem while ensuring legal compliance and transparency.
ENS will soon enter a particularly active and important voting period. Among the proposals to be put forward is this one, which suggests transferring ownership of the Ethereum Name Service (ENS) root key from the current multisig system to the ENS DAO, aiming to decentralize governance further. This transfer will consolidate governance powers, including the ability to create and manage top-level domains other than .eth, update reverse resolutions, and explore domain names on Layer 2 solutions.
KlimaDAO is proposing a shift from a complex real-world entity model to a streamlined foundation framework to optimize governance and compliance in light of evolving regulations. The Klima Foundation, to be based in the Cayman Islands, will oversee the same mission as KlimaDAO, focusing on decarbonization and revolutionizing carbon markets. The transition aims to enhance decision-making processes and legal compliance while maintaining transparency and sustainability in addressing climate change.
The SuperRare DAO is discussing three important proposals. This one suggests rebranding the DAO, which is closely associated with SuperRare, to the "Rare Protocol" brand to broaden its scope beyond the SuperRare marketplace. It includes updating token branding on exchanges, changing public venues related to the DAO to use RareDAO or Rare Protocol branding, and updating RareDAO Foundation documents to reflect the new branding. The aim is to clarify the DAO's broader ambitions while maintaining a connection to the SuperRare marketplace.
