:ear_of_rice: Stewards

  • Sprint 23 has ended and we are now venturing into Sprint 24

    • Now - Dec 16 <— Propose & Debate
    • Dec 17 - 21 <— Debate & Rock the Vote

  • If you missed the previous programs, TE Academy’s Introduction to Token Engineering course will kick off once again on Wednesday Dec. 15 at 9:00am UTC
  • Last but not least, Gideon published an amazing article titled The Permissionless DAO and it is an interesting read for everyone in the space
  • Forum Highlight: As always, you’ll find many guiding references in our TEC Timeline here, in our TEC Handbook here, and in our TEC Retrospective Miro board, all of which are open for everyone to see. In it we visualize in-house empirical findings: what has gone well, what can be done better, and what specific actions we can take to keep progressing successfully

  • Our Consilience Library proposal is being structured to have 3 phases:
    • The first is the seeding phase, on which we’ll find subject matter experts and have them curate content in our Notion page

  • Check out our Commons Configuration Dashboard (CCD)!
  • Try our dashboard here and, if you’re feeling lost or lonely, check our Party Calendar for the date & time of our many Params Parties
  • We’ve added one more feature to our CCD: you can now simulate a funding request into the bonding curve as a way to understand what it’d take to pass a proposal
  • Check out our current Commons Configuration Proposals (if you’d like to support one, use only 1 vote because it’s likely that most current proposals will be forked after our debates)
  • As for the debate structure: we’ll deliberate on 5 proposals, each proponent having 5 minutes to explain and 5 minutes to respond to objections or feedback given by peers; the debates will last 1 week and you can DM Griff if you’d like to host
