The DAO's Transparency Log is Broken. 18 Months Missing Data. Should We Fix It?

The Decentraland DAO's official transparency infrastructure — built in 2022 specifically to give the community itemized visibility into treasury activity runs on an automated GitHub Actions pipeline. That pipeline executed again today, March 20, 2026. It has logged over 1,600 successful runs. The transaction log has not updated since September 18, 2024. This is not a broken system. This is a functioning system with a specific, unexplained gap in one of its most critical outputs — the itemized record of where DAO funds actually go. During those 18 missing months:

The 23.7M MANA transfer to Regenesis Labs — the largest single treasury disbursement in DAO history The former DAO Committee member dispute involving an alleged ~550 ETH 18 months of Committee, Curator, and Council compensation payments The entire post-Regenesis restructure of DAO operations

None of it appears in the public transaction record. The DAO currently holds approximately 52.5M MANA plus multi-asset positions totaling ~$6.8M USD equivalent. With 61% of all voting power concentrated in 18 wallets, the transaction log is the only accountability mechanism most members have. Right now it doesn't exist.

Note: This is separate from any review of Regenesis Labs spending. An accountant reviews whether spending was justified. This poll is about making the raw transaction data visible to the public in the first place. You cannot audit a ledger that doesn't exist. We are asking for the ledger. If this poll passes, a Draft Proposal will follow to authorize a one-time technical bounty for a Web3 data engineer to deliver:

Diagnosis — Identify exactly why the transaction export stopped and document it publicly Data Backfill — Restore all missing on-chain transactions from September 18, 2024 to present in a standardized, publicly readable format Pipeline Fix — Repair or replace the broken transaction export so it runs automatically alongside the existing daily workflow Permanent Output — Published to a non-editable location (Dune Analytics, IPFS, or public GitHub) — not a Google Sheet that can go quietly dark again

Delivery validated by the SAB before any payment is released. This directly supports the DAO Governance Automation Initiative (DGAI) — Poll #1 passed March 3, 2026 with 703,054 VP and 99% Yes. Automated governance execution cannot be built on top of a financial record with an 18-month hole in it. Fix the ledger first.

Should the DAO authorize a technical bounty to diagnose and restore the missing 18 months of treasury transaction data and ensure the public ledger updates automatically going forward?

• Yes restore the missing data and fix the pipeline
• No leave the transaction record blank
• Invalid question/options
