What’s new and in which direction is Index Coop heading over the upcoming week.
Prepping for V2 Index Council
The votes are in and the Index Coop community has decided that an Index Council V2 will be in place for Season 1. For full results, be sure to check out the Forum post.
The voting process and timeline for the V2 Index Council election will be up soon, so keep your eyes on the Forum for nominations and your email for your ballot not too long afterward.
A Clearer Picture of DSM Eligibility & Vesting
The composition and allocation of the Dynamic Staking Model (DSM) has evolved considerably since the framework of Community Ownership & Compensation (V1 proposal | V2 proposal) was introduced.
As it currently stands, The DSM is currently applicable to Priority Hires only per the passing of IIP-118 . In March, @Finance will estimate the cost for expanding access to the DSM to contributors of Bronze, Silver, and Gold Owl Level status. DSM access is not included in IIP-139 - Season 1 Budget Approval and will be subject to approval in a separate IIP token vote.
There’s no shortage of industry and educational events in DeFi and crypto. Along with taking part in events worldwide, Index Coop hosts a number of events to help people learn about crypto index products.
