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 .
i already read the article.
Why aren’t we swaping with LDA Capital is this something you prefer?
the deal says , lda will buy coins from dao at discounted price and grant usdc usdt instead .
Correct. Onyx doesn’t have “USD” on hands.
