DAOs were a failure in the last era of crypto. But it may have just been the wrong time for them. Two big things are different now: (1) regulatory clarity and (2) AI agents. We spent the last 10 years rediscovering the hard way that direct democracy is a bad idea. Turns out, nobody wakes up in the morning eager to adjudicate risk parameters or protocol updates. It didn't help that it was illegal to experiment with different DAO structures. The vicious hostility of Biden and Gensler toward the space killed all innovation. But it's a new day. It is once again legal to experiment. You could choose to play with forms of representative democracy, or multi-cameral systems, or hybrids of permissioned and permissionless participation. Not to mention, AI agents can now step into many kinds of roles that humans will never want to perform. They may help DAOs live up to their name by making them truly Autonomous. The design space for new DAOs is infinite, for they are just software. What new experiments are people running?

Core DAO's biggest DeFi platform release update on staking @Coredao_Org suspended staking reward emissions yesterday after a recent malicious validator attack. This suspension applies to all Core staking, including b14g, dualCORE, stCORE, and direct validator staking. In the meantime, users may experience 0% APY with no additional rewards. According to @b14g_network, users' funds are 100% secure. b14g users need not take any action in regard to their b14g funds. The problem has been resolved, and malicious validators can no longer collect extra rewards. b14g will keep users updated on any further developments until emissions start again.

A DAO should not start buybacks merely because it is profitable. It should start only after proving the capital is truly excess. @sparkfinance turns this into a live system: Returns → liabilities → operating runway → risk capital → buybacks Here is a framework every DAO can use ↓ ➢ The original DeFi treasury framework In 2021, @hasufl and @MonetSupply proposed a new mental model for DeFi treasuries. Spark puts three of its ideas into practice: • Exclude SPK from treasury assets • Recognize depositor liabilities and set risk-capital requirements • Reserve operating and risk buffers before buybacks ➢ Six questions before any DAO buyback Before any DAO buyback, ask: • Gross or net revenue? • Profit after opex? • Own token counted as treasury? • Unpaid liabilities? • Operating and risk reserves? • Based on accounting profit—or capital left after all required reserves? ➢ Gross returns are not protocol profit Spark Liquidity Layer projects $88.7M in yearly gross returns. After ~$80.4M in capital costs to Sky and Savings V2 depositors, projected net return is $8.3M. For treasury decisions, net return—not gross return—is the relevant figure. ➢ Profit is not yet buyback capacity Spark projects $19.1M in yearly net returns. After the current $14.4M opex override, projected surplus is $4.7M. Hasu's Rule 2: decide whether to retain, reinvest or distribute that surplus. It is not automatically excess capital. ➢ Why SPK is not treasury Spark's net treasury calculation does not count SPK. Hasu's Rule 4: treasury-held native tokens resemble authorized-but-unissued shares, not cash. Turning them into spending power requires selling into the market, creating price impact. ➢ Recognizing liabilities Spark deducts ~$6.7M in yield owed to Savings V2 depositors from treasury. This reflects part of Hasu's Rule 6: money owed to users is a protocol liability—not available treasury. ➢ Operating and risk reserves come before payouts Hasu's Rule 5: hold enough non-native assets to survive a 2–4 year bear market. Rule 6: understand and hedge liabilities specific to the protocol. For a lender, reserves should cover operating costs and potential position losses before payouts. Spark turns that principle into a measurable threshold. RRC is a capital requirement for the risk of Spark's positions—not a realized loss. • Opex: $14.4M override + $1M backstop = $15.4M • Risk: 90-day peak RRC ÷ 90% + $1M = $46.99M The higher value sets the current buyback threshold: $46.99M. ➢ Only excess capital funds buybacks Under SAEP-09, Spark compares Proxy USDS with the current $46.99M target each month. Below target → no standard buyback. Above target → 25% of the difference is allocated to standard buybacks. The target changes with opex and RRC. ➢ What Spark has operationalized Spark's answers: Use net returns. Calculate profit after opex. Exclude SPK. Deduct liabilities. Set reserves from opex and RRC. Fund standard buybacks only from excess capital. My role is to make each step transparent, verifiable and continuously monitored. ➢ Sources and methodology Treasury framework: Spark Financials: SAEP-09: Data: Aug 6, 2026.
