Should The DAO add More people?

Summary:

This proposal seeks input from the community on whether the DAO should onboard more contributors, core team members, or advisors to expand capacity, diversify perspectives, and accelerate progress.

Motivation:

As the DAO grows in scope and ambition, there’s increasing demand for: • Specialized talent (e.g. devs, researchers, ops) • Community management and governance support • Broader representation in decision-making

Adding new people could increase output, reduce bottlenecks, and make the DAO more resilient. However, it also introduces considerations around coordination, compensation, and governance overhead.

Key Considerations:

If passed, this proposal would initiate: • A contributor intake process (e.g. open applications, nominations) • Clear role definitions and scopes • Contributor onboarding framework (e.g. trial periods, grants, or bounties) • Optional: formation of a contributor review committee

Benefits: • More capacity to ship, manage, and scale • Access to diverse skill sets and experiences • Healthier contributor ecosystem and community engagement

Risks: • Over-expansion leading to misalignment or inefficiency • Budget strain if not carefully scoped • Onboarding challenges and quality control

Voting Options: • ✅ Yes — Begin process to add more people to the DAO • ❌ No — Keep current structure and revisit later • 🤔 Abstain
