In different information, in case you missed it, final week Fenway proposed a referendum to overtake Synthetix governance. He first mentioned this proposal with the Spartan Council at their weekly sync, then introduced it to the group finally week’s City Corridor. SNXweave wrote an in-depth evaluate of the City Corridor, together with the Q&A session with the group on the finish. Be sure you try the article right here. In abstract:
The referendum proposal was primarily based on broad suggestions from the group that there are about 7 core points which have brought about the protocol to fade from the highlight up to now 12 months. Fenway subsequently felt that if this new proposal have been to move in a group vote, Synthetix may return to the forefront of DeFi. He believes a giant a part of the issue is a lack of accountability in governance, and subsequently has designed an overhaul the place the present councils will likely be diminished into one 7 seat council (with 4 elected seats and three CC seats employed by the elected councilors). Fenway believes that the CC placement on this council will guarantee “imaginative and prescient continuity.”
And talking of imaginative and prescient, one other key side of this primary referendum will likely be a refreshed roadmap. He used the 2024 roadmap for instance — this was scheduled to be launched this coming month, however a roadmap this late within the 12 months wouldn’t be significantly helpful. The referendum would subsequently shift precedence in the direction of hammering out the small print of a 2025 roadmap as quickly as doable to provide a transparent line of sight to protocol stakeholders and increase accountability. Fenway has already written up a draft imaginative and prescient for 2025 you can learn right here.
This referendum would additionally search to present extra organizational construction to the Core Contributors. At the moment, the CCs function in a principally flat organizational construction, which makes it very tough to prioritize work. Fenway believes that geographically-aligned working teams would make it simpler to work by means of issues in actual time.
Subsequent, he plans to type a Synthetix basis, which would offer a layer of safety for CCs who’ve needed to interact with distributors on behalf of Synthetix (probably exposing them to regulatory threat). This may additionally make some grant funding, which has traditionally been out of attain for the protocol, extra attainable.
The final key component of the referendum is to carry the main focus of the protocol again to the SNX token. Fenway emphasised that the aim of the SNX token has come into query in current months and believes it’s within the token holders’ curiosity to alter that. Now that SnaxChain is on-line, there is a chance to make use of it to the good thing about the protocol.
Fenway’s overarching purpose with this proposal is to ship a powerful message to the group that Synthetix is again, and to carry some vitality again to the protocol. The vote for the referendum continues to be stay, and can shut on October 4th, so make sure you solid your vote should you haven’t already!
