This proposal is being put forward by @Matthew_Graham @MrMadila @overanalyser @verto0912
What are you proposing?
We are proposing the funding of a Treasury & Product Working Group for an initial 3 month phase ending on 22nd June with the view of extending beyond, subject to community approval.
What is the core problem(s) you want to solve?
The core problem we are trying to solve is to put a structure in place for managing our capital and maintaining our products. We also need a core focused group of people working to manage our products and enhance their useability within the DeFi ecosystem.
Why is this worth addressing today?
When DFC took on the treasury committee role, the intention (set out in this post) was to improve transparency and innovate around the treasury and tokenomics. We have since published our first financial report, communicated our goals and will soon implement a smart treasury. Looking forward, we need to distribute tokens to the community, fund growth, mitigate risks and protect our purchasing power for the long term.
For our products to realise their full potential, we need to maximise their usability, market appeal and find a way to make them productive in a safe manner. Having data to shape our decisions is vital to the success of Index Coop.
How will you address it?
Given the skill sets and the type of people involved, we noticed most people interested in Treasury are also interested in data and improving our products useability within the ecosystem. Therefore, we are opting to combine the Treasury and Product into a single working group.
What impact will this project have?
- Develop structures for diversifying and managing the treasury.
- Incorporate our products across the DeFi ecosystem improving their usability.
- Understand how the assets within our products can be used to generate yield
- Work team analysis supporting DG2
Working Group Leader(s)
- Product Lead: Over Analyser
- Treasury Lead: DFC
- Treasury co-lead: Matthew Graham
As DFC will be taking on the role of MVI community methodologist, it is expected that the lead role will be handed over in time.
