xGov Council Election 2025

Here, I created a list of xGov Council candidates. There are also icons, so I think it’s easier to visualize. Please feel free to use it for comparison and consideration. The Japanese community is working hard too!

That said, even if we had the mechanism to make such an e…

Hello. Question: why does the Foundation try to reduce the quarterly rewards EVERY governance vote? Why not just keep it at 70.5M algos, and let governors vote on how to split between defi, vanilla, …?

Overall Governance Sentiment

Beyond the specifics of the three proposed measures, I believe it’s important to note in a broader sense that these proposals mark a tonal shift in governance measures. Up until this point, every governance measure has included an option of keeping the status quo. None of these measures do so.
