Owl Levels & Dynamic Staking Model (DSM)
The Index Council and community have put a lot of time and effort into building community ownership opportunities.

If you’d like more specifics, be sure to watch this week’s Leadership Forum or read about Owl Levels or DSM in the Forum.

Nest budget proposals and the steps to be undertaken when approving them are laid out on the Forum. @Finance’s Season 1 budget has been published on the Forum with more Nests to come.
