Livepeer Community Begins Establishing Processes for Accessing and Deploying Treasury Funds
The Livepeer community has approved a community governed onchain treasury and is now focusing on establishing the right processes for accessing and deploying treasury funds. Any token holder with at least 100 LPT staked can submit a funding proposal to the Livepeer Treasury. If the vote achieves a 33% quorum and 50% of the voting stake votes yes, the funding will be released. The treasury should be used to fund public goods in the ecosystem and Special Purpose Entities. Building community support and raising awareness of proposals are crucial for success. Transparent and accountable stakeholders are valued in the Livepeer community.
It's been a little over three weeks since the Livepeer community approved a community governed onchain treasury. Now is a good time for the community to begin establishing the right processes for successfully accessing and deploying treasury funds 🧵 mirror.xyz/livepeer.eth/k…
