Thank you for putting this comprehensive budget proposal together. It’s encouraging to see stake.link DAO taking steps to ensure financial transparency and sustainability.
I understand this budget includes periodic updates from H&T on how resources are being spent, as outlined in the Comprehensive Financial Management Services proposal. That ongoing transparency is crucial for building trust and ensuring accountability, and I’m glad to see it being prioritized.
As for what @hboss noted, SDL liquidity remains a bit of a conundrum that requires a thoughtful conversation on its own. That said, it’s promising to see that a large portion of LP incentives currently directed toward stLINK liquidity could be optimized. With Protocol-Owned Liquidity via SLURP-26 expected to go live soon, we should be in a strong position to reduce our reliance on external incentives and put those resources to more strategic use, including potentially increasing SDL LP incentives and strengthening its role in the ecosystem.
This budget, in tandem with SLURP-43, feels like a solid move toward aligning operational efficiency with long-term sustainability. While I don’t expect any critical bugs to emerge, budgeting for the possibility is the responsible approach, especially considering the potential financial exposure if something were to go wrong. At the same time, if security risks remain low and liquidity spending becomes more efficient, the DAO will be in a great position to reallocate or preserve funds as needed. Overall, this is a smart, forward-looking step that strengthens the foundation for stake.link’s continued growth.
Confident in the direction this is heading and fully supportive of the work being done here.
