I. Introduction

In this governance proposal, we set forth a detailed framework for the Maia DAO Ecosystem's budgeting, intended to be reviewed and adapted on a yearly basis. Our aim is to provide a flexible and responsive financial governance strategy that supports responsible resource management and encourages the sustainable development of our ecosystem.

Within this document, we delineate our approach to budget allocations, covering the management of current assets, treasury minting practices, and team compensation models. Commitment to transparency and efficacy is one of our core values, ensuring that our decisions are made with the best interests of the ecosystem at heart.

Recognizing the dynamic nature of our ecosystem, we emphasize adaptability through an annual budget review and monthly departmental assessments. These regular reviews aim to optimize financial planning, respond to immediate needs, and efficiently manage allocations, ultimately extending our financial runway. This approach ensures our budget stays aligned with evolving objectives, market shifts, and community objectives.

We are deeply thankful to our community for their engagement and commitment to collaboratively forging the path forward for our ecosystem. Your participation is crucial in sculpting a robust and vibrant future for Maia DAO.

• Maia's decision making is over Maia's Supply and Treasury.
