  • All the rest who are not approved this time - are welcome to participate in the Potlock round. We recommend Near at Night, Near Media and Motus DAO participate in the upcoming Potlock collaboration.

Statement on MDAO treasury:

  • MDAO currently has a surplus in the treasury that is earmarked for specific projects and bounties.
  • Bounties - we previously returned the majority (less two claimed bounties) of funding the first round of bounty funds that were unused from Heroes to the treasury. These were intended to be used for ETHD related projects (e.g. a video project that has not been successfully delivered, as well as content creators to supply services to grantee founders/teams that need them). This work is still in progress.
  • Additional funds remain in the treasury because of the second bounty request that was part of the April funding and has not been deployed yet.
  • We will use these funds for specific bounties in the next few weeks - team just met with Heroes this week to clarify next steps.
  • Also there was historically a small amount of funding in the treasury left for unexpected expenses.
