What’s New
📈 Onboard Survey: Last week we featured a sneak peek into the Onboard Project and shared the survey that RedVan and MrPackman put together. With over 200 respondents, we had some fascinating insights (e.g. skews young, 25-34, mainly in the US). See what else the Analytics Guild uncovered here & here. The survey is still open and respondents are still eligible to be entered into the 1,000 BANK raffle until 6/20!

It's 🛌 BED Time!
If you haven’t heard, it’s time to get in 🛌 BED! Voting ended on 6/12 and the IndexCoop community passed the Decision Gate 2: Bankless BED Index with a resounding 95% approval rate. Over 254k INDEX tokens were used to 👍 support the proposal, compared to the 11k 👎 that opposed it. (Fun fact: Quorum for this vote was accidentally set at 15% of circulating supply and not the traditional 10% but we still crushed those numbers.)
IndexCoop and BanklessDAO will split streaming fees 🤑 which will generate revenue for the DAO! BED will be weighted equally between BTC, ETH, and DPI and will rebalance the first Friday of every month.
Now that it has passed, we wait for the product to launch. Implementation and marketing efforts are currently underway. Twitter started buzzing about the BED Index earlier this week. From celebratory tweets to congratulatory retweets, there are already 👀eyes on this.
Over-analyser started a forum discussion for BED liquidity mining, suggesting some strategies to consider when implementing the mining program. Will users be able to stake their BED LP tokens to earn BANK? Or INDEX? Maybe both? Who knows what will happen. All we know is, it’s 🛌 BED time!
🚨 Live Proposals 🚨
BanklessDAO Season 1: After weeks of diligent work, BanklessDAO is ready for Season 1! The full specifications - linked in the Snapshot vote - detail what Seasons are, their funding mechanisms, operational practices, and include special considerations for Season 1. It's a hefty piece, but, if passed, it will be one of the most important proposals ever passed.
Proposals in Discussion
Bankless VC DAO and Alpha Wallet: Leverage the BanklessDAO brand, media platform, and purchasing power to enter into early-stage deals/investment opportunities and create investment opportunities and revenue streams for the DAO Treasury. Check the discussion in #alphawallet for more.
BanklessDAO Legal Entity: The Legal Guild proposed researching the implications of establishing a legal entity, both in the United States and Switzerland. Underlying this research is the question of whether we need a legal entity at all. A floated consideration is that it may be better to wait as opposed to chose incorrectly early.
Action Items
🐵 Distribute GIVE tokens: Don't forget to allocate your GIVE tokens if you have signed up for the Season 0 Coordinape Distribution.
