Looks Good to me . Game must go on
Since we are voting on budget, could you provide clarification about what is going to be built for the next 3 months? What new features?
If we are here talking about cost to maintain platform this seems high given that smart contract code do not need maintenance.
If some new features are going to get developed for the next 3 months, please share. Marketing, ambassadors etc only need to come with new features.
Also why we are not including any additional audit for the next 3 months? I understand DAO members would prefer that to go into salary but we need to think of the best outlook for ONYX protocol, not DAO members
Thanks
Ok got it . thanx for making it clear
yes but then releasing a budget to the DAO before having an idea about the roadmap isn’t ideal.
I understand your concerns about platform features, and agree that the community wants not DAO Treasury expenses, but the platform development.
Right now, adding new features can break project consistency and complicate further development.
I am concentrated to create an environment where project security will be transparent, project architecture — clear, and in case of bugs we’ll be able to handle them in time.
I’ve replied about roadmap in thread More updates about new roadmap?
Three months is a short period.
One important task for these three month is to improve decentralization, and I expect to see more votes for proposals in result.
About additional security audit, see my opinion Engage a 2nd auditing firm to conduct an audit on ONYX
I would be voting against this. Marketing budget is needed but with Alex being the new head of the DAO and seemingly a CTO of sorts based on the hires, I think I speak for the community when I say I do not support and if this goes to a vote then I will be voting against the other items as I believe he needs to prove his skills first with the platform and bringing new users, the platform is already well designed and competitive with unique offerings. If he proves himself with the existing platform then that would be a different story.
In summary, currently I support a marketing only budget.
Those who are arguing its to much xcn . how we can expect good marketing without funds . doesnt make sense . lets see for this 3 month and will decide about funds after july .
proving skills also need funds these days brother . lets give them chance for may-july and will judge them after july
With the fail of the budget proposal, I’m happy to see real decentralization. We’ll take more time to gather community feedback, leave it here.

–Monthly breakdown–

Team Hiring in USD: 65,000,000 XCN * $0.00235/XCN = $152,750

Marketing: 35,000,000 XCN
Marketing in USD: 35,000,000 XCN * $0.00235/XCN = $82,250

what you want to say btw ? crux of this
when New budget proposal ?
Why aren’t we using LDA capital? I mean Onyx DAO has an agreement to use $40m which is a huge amount much larger teams can have a runway of many many years.
Why is DAO chosing to dump the XCN on treausry instead?
i think you need to read the article again .
