TL;DR
To further reduce the governance burden on the Forge working group, a modification to the multisig arrangement for the sub-treasury in LIP-48 is proposed:
Forge members will no longer serve as multisig signers for other working groups. Instead, the main treasury multisig and community-appointed independent multisig signers will be added as signers for the sub-treasury.
Governance Optimization Background:
According to the LIP-48 proposal, the composition of the sub-treasury multisig is as follows:
- Working groups (excluding Forge): Fixed Forge members and the working group leader.
- Forge WG: Leaders from various working groups (including the Forge group leader).
- Projects: Initially composed of fixed Forge members and the PM, with adjustments to be made based on future proposals.
Conditions for replacing treasury multisig signers:
- When there is a change in project PM or Forge members.
Currently, Forge members are responsible for verifying the monthly accounting of each working group, creating a governance burden. Additionally, the multisig signers for each sub-treasury must be replaced every quarter, making the process complex.
Governance Optimization Plan:
Following discussions during the governance weekly meeting, the governance group proposes the following new multisig plan:
LXDAO Main Treasury Multisig (3/5 Multisig Treasury):
- 1 LXDAO investor, responsible for defensive oversight, not required to participate in daily salary management.
- 2 community-appointed reputational signers, responsible for reviewing discrepancies between the amounts and what is publicly listed on the official website.
- 1 governance multisig, held by the governance group PM, primarily responsible for verifying and initiating the quarterly budget for working groups and projects.
- 1 accounting multisig, held by the community accountant, mainly responsible for handling external funds inflow, reimbursements, and other financial recording tasks.
Working Group Sub-Treasury: (3/5 Multisig Treasury)
