Welcome to this week's Unlock DAO newsletter! We're excited to share the latest updates from our recent DAO call, highlighting important developments, upcoming events, and opportunities for community engagement. Let's dive into the key points that are shaping the future of Unlock DAO.
In our ongoing effort to improve efficiency and transparency, we've implemented several changes to our DAO processes. These first updates are the move from L1 Ethereum to L2 Base to lower the financial barriers for voting, a shorter period to pass proposals of now 14 days to become more agile, a 50k Up threshold to submit proposals for safety reasons, and the almost completed Charmverse based collaborative space for active DAO members. These changes are just the first of more, but they are a start and will help us operate more effectively as we continue to grow and take on new challenges.
We're thrilled to announce significant progress in our expansion to the Base network. DAO member pi0neerpat established our first WETH/ UP pool on Uniswap. With the recently passed proposal by the DAO incentives for liquidity providers are up and can be tapped into by using the GAMMA suit. Learn more by following the Unlock DAO LinkedIn. This partnership will provide Unlock DAO with increased liquidity and exposure to a broader user base.
As we approach the end of November, we want to remind all community members about our Retroactive Funding round. This initiative is crucial for recognizing and rewarding valuable contributions to the Unlock DAO ecosystem. If you've made significant contributions this month, please ensure you've documented your work and submitted it for consideration. For those evaluating contributions, we encourage you to review submissions thoroughly and provide fair assessments.
We have an exciting grant proposal open for review on our GitHub repository here. We strongly encourage all DAO members to review these proposals and provide your feedback. Your insights are invaluable in ensuring we fund projects that align with our vision and benefit our community.
Join us on the 20th of November at 2:30 PM EST for an exciting workshop with HatsProtocol co-founder David Ehrlichman. He will give us a rundown on the latest Unlock Protocol integration into HatsProtocol and showcase its amazing functionalities for communities and companies who want to bring their organizations onchain. RSVP using the link above and follow along.
Mark your calendars for our upcoming live stream event, "La Mudanza" (The Move), scheduled for November 27, 2024, at 2 PM EST. This special broadcast will focus on our transition to the Base network and what it means for the future of Unlock DAO. We are honored with guests from LATAM communities who are actively utilizing Unlock Protocol. Use the link above to RSVP and don't miss out on a hot guest list. More about that next week.
We're excited to share that our application for the GG22 program has received positive interim feedback. This promising development is a testament to the strength of our community and the innovative work we're doing in the Web3 space. We'll keep you updated on the upcoming payouts. Review the current results here.
To better address the growing needs of our community and ecosystem, we have started a second regular working group. Currently active are now "Finances & Resources" and "Marketing & Communications," which are happening bi-weekly. Both working groups can now be found on the Discord calendar. If you're interested in contributing your expertise to either of these areas, don't hesitate to get in touch with me or fellow DAO members.
The upcoming livestreams, our progress with the GG22 application, and the introduction of new working groups all point to a bright future for Unlock DAO.
Remember, the strength of our DAO lies in the collective efforts of everyone in the community. Together, we're unlocking new possibilities and shaping the future of decentralized access control.
Stay unlocked!
