Charles d’Haussy - CEO dYdX Foundation “The Foundation has played an important role in the dYdX Ecosystem, helping to foster innovation, drive governance and grow adoption of the dYdX protocol. This funding from the Community Treasury enables the Foundation to deliver on its strategic roadmap. We’re thrilled by the unanimous support from the community and we’re excited to continue to deliver meaningful contributions and impact to the dYdX Ecosystem.”
In the detailed forum proposal the Foundation highlights the 5 core operating teams that deliver the strategic roadmap: Governance and Strategic Initiatives, Business Development and Growth, Solutions and User Support, Marketing and Communications and Core Operations. Additionally in the proposal, a clear Operating budget forecast, Treasury Management and Dispersion strategies were highlighted providing the community and ecosystem with transparency.
The Foundation raised funds from the dYdX Chain Community Treasury for two primary reasons;
(1) The Foundation does not charge fees or have a profit-making purpose, and does not seek any profits in general,
(2) The dYdX Chain Community Treasury has 6% of approximately 253M DYDX currently earmarked, this funding further activates and stimulates the treasury towards growth and adoption of the dYdX Chain and protocol.
The dYdX Foundation is truly excited to continue contributing to the success of the dYdX protocol and Ecosystem.
