  • Excludes full-time Ref core team members sitting on the community DAO.
  • DAO duties include, but are not limited to, regular & timely voting on proposals, participation in the discussions on proposals etc in the DAO chat, feedback and suggestions for Ref, testing before release, participation in the biweekly syncs (unless absence had been notified beforehand).

Track 2: Extra Contributions

  • Compensation: To be determined on a per-case basis.
  • Covers specific labor or material output beyond standard DAO duties such as community moderation or specific marketing activities.

Other:

  • The community board is allocated upto 10K REF/month.

5. Rejuvenating the Ref DAO:

With many members leaving the Ref DAO, we are actively looking for new contributors. Recommendations and applications are encouraged through comments or by reaching out to DAO members or the Ref core team. Regular reorganizations ensure that active members are recognized and inactive ones are replaced.

How to Join the DAO?

The Ref Finance DAO welcomes active and committed community members. Contribute via Discord, Telegram, product iteration, feedback, or bug reports. Make yourself known, and during quarterly reorganizations, your recognized value and input will be considered.

Thank you Rim,

To confirm, I’ve expressed the desire and willingness to step down, but will stay on during the recruitment and handover of new board members to ensure a smooth transition.

Hi Fam,

First of all, I would like to participate (for free) in the management of the Discord (like a mod). The channel is too “abandoned” for the level of the project and “poorly controlled”. Much more service could be given to users who want to learn about the project and its functions, especially now that we expect a lot of work from Near.

Second, as an investor I am directly interested in the correct functioning of the project, therefore if you are interested I can make myself available to contribute to the dao.

Thanks and Best Regards
