The referendum proposal was based mostly on broad suggestions from the neighborhood that there are about 7 core points which have prompted the protocol to fade from the highlight up to now yr. Fenway subsequently felt that if this new proposal have been to go in a neighborhood vote, Synthetix might return to the forefront of DeFi. He believes an enormous a part of the issue is an absence of accountability in governance, and subsequently has designed an overhaul the place the present councils shall be decreased 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 shall be a refreshed roadmap. He used the 2024 roadmap for example — this was scheduled to be launched this coming month, however a roadmap this late within the yr 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 potential to offer a transparent line of sight to protocol stakeholders and enhance accountability. Fenway has already written up a draft imaginative and prescient for 2025 that you could learn right here.
This referendum would additionally search to supply extra organizational construction to the Core Contributors. Presently, the CCs function in a largely flat organizational construction, which makes it very troublesome 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 kind 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 danger). 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 target of the protocol again to the SNX token. Fenway emphasised that the aim of the SNX token has come into query in latest 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 robust message to the neighborhood that Synthetix is again, and to carry some power again to the protocol. The vote for the referendum continues to be dwell, and can shut on October 4th, so you should definitely solid your vote in the event you haven’t already!
