House of Stake Updates: Transparency Thread

House of Stake
69

Hi folks,

I realize that it’s been a while since I posted an update here. I’m not sure if this thread is the best place to communicate what’s happening in House of Stake going forward, given that we have multiple other places where we’re sharing updates including the core team kanban, the product team kanban (and various Github issues more generally), @AK_HoG’s Community Governance Calls, and of course forum threads for individual projects like this one: HSP-002, HSP-003: next steps.

However, for now I’ll keep posting updates here on occasion.

HoS has grown and matured quite a bit since we started a few months ago. As I mentioned before in this thread, we’re at a point where it’s impossible for one person, including me, to know everything that’s going on. This is even more true today. So I can only share updates as I see them from where I sit.

Here are a few of the things that are going on right now:

  • Angela (@AK_HoG) joined us as Head of Governance last week, and @KlausBrave, I and others have been helping onboard her. She’s rapidly assuming ownership of all of the governance-related work. See, e.g., this recent announcement: Ratifying Our Constitutional Documents: Upcoming Proposals Dec 2025.
  • We’re in the process of bifurcating the team along the lines of Governance and Product, with Angela taking ownership of Governance work going forward. For updates on Product work, see the newly-created product tag (Topics tagged product), the roadmap that @jacklaing shared previously: AI Governance Product Roadmap, and the first AI governance product: AI Governance Dashboard (Alpha) – We’d Love Your Feedback. Jack and @jlwaugh have made great progress on this AI-powered proposal dashboard, and your feedback is super helpful at this stage.
  • @bearmans and I were in Buenos Aires for Devconnect last week. We participated in a number of governance-related events and workshops, and were able to share a lot about our work and learn from what other projects and protocols are up to (including Sky, Stellar, Hats Protocol, Cardano, Ethereum Foundation, Solana, Octant, Morpho, Canton, Tally, and a bunch of others).
  • We’re working super closely with Agora, Gauntlet, and @HackHumanity to launch rewards for HSP-002 and HSP-003. These are coming soon. For more information, see HSP-002, HSP-003: next steps.
  • We’re planning to do another in person GovHack-style event in Q1. More info on this soon.
  • We’re still in the process of setting up the Fireblocks vault for HoS Foundation and receiving the first inbound transfers. For updates see HoS Foundation Fireblocks vault setup · Issue #9 · houseofstake/pm · GitHub.
  • @HackHumanity has built a really cool, working prototype of a “Citizens’ House” app that allows one person one vote. For updates see Build Citizens House app · Issue #98 · houseofstake/pm · GitHub.
  • @bearmans is working with NF Marketing on an announcement of our research partnership, and separately, is in the process of making whole our earliest alpha users (Addressing users of the August 7th alpha launch) and launching non-economic incentives for early HoS participants.
  • I’m thinking a lot about team composition, about how the team fits into NF’s product-centric pivot, and about how we can put product more firmly at the center of our work. I’m also thinking about a research roadmap.

As always, feedback is warmly welcomed.
