@giveth is voting to allocate 8.5M $GIV from its tokenholder-controlled GIVgarden bucket to continue GIVpower staking rewards through February 2nd, 2027. The previous program ended July 23rd. The extension would use equal two-week reward periods: - 75% on @Optimism - 25% on @gnosischain - Two manual periods before programmatic distributions The Giveth proposal statement, posted by @karmaticacid, cites @Dune data showing staked GIV grew ~2.4% monthly over seven months. It argues that repeating the previous allocation can maintain consistent annual returns while reducing days without rewards. 4 wallets have cast 150,132,432 GIVPOWER so far, clearing the 10M quorum at 1501.3%. Choices remain encrypted through @ShutterNetwork, so no For, Against, or Abstain split is public while voting is active. Voting closes August 3rd at 7:59pm UTC. Proposal:

@ensdomains closed its sealed-ballot election for three Meta-Governance stewards - now the DAO's sole working group, and its operational leadership, for Term 7 (July 2026 to June 2027). This followed @ENS_DAO's vote to fold every working group into Meta-Governance. Seven candidates ran, with ranked-choice ballots encrypted by @shutternetwork until close. 60 wallets cast 1,444,708 $ENS, clearing the 1,000,000 ENS (1% of supply) validity bar by ~44%. - @alextnetto took 28.6%: organized the election, built ENS's Security Council after a governance attack was identified - @sovereignsignal 23.8%: ran grant operations for the Uniswap Foundation, distributing $10M+ via Gitcoin rounds - @spikewatanabe & @abdullahbumar tied at 14.3% - @jkm__eth & @vegaypatino tied at 9.5% - @RagingBitcoin 0%: the only candidate arguing the DAO, ENS Labs, and the Foundation should be governed as separate entities Seats go by Copeland ranked-choice, where full rankings are compared head-to-head - so the tied third seat isn't settled by raw shares alone. With the tiebreaker applied, the three elected stewards for Term 7 are: 1. Alex Netto / netto.eth 2. Sov / sovereignsignal.eth 3. Abdullah / abdullahumar.eth Proposal:

@aavegotchi is voting to put its idle treasury to work earning yield. The DAO holds ~345k $DAI alongside other stablecoins and $ETH, a portion of it sitting idle and earning nothing. The plan converts that $DAI to $USDC and whitelists two lending markets, @aave and @Morpho, where deposited funds earn interest. Directors could then deposit, withdraw, and reallocate between the two without a fresh vote each time, on the logic that "requiring governance for every deposit or withdrawal creates unnecessary friction." Borrowing, leverage, and looping stay banned outright. This builds on two 2024 votes that converted the treasury's $DAI to $USDC and a 2022 vote to deposit 3M $GHST into Aave, so lending out idle funds is well-trodden ground here. 64 votes have cast 1.53M $GHST so far, 93.7% in favor, with quorum not yet met. Voting closes June 20th at 6:16pm UTC. Proposal:
