[AIP-71] Proposal for Long-Term Funding of the Aura Ecosystem

Proposals
10

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! To address the points raised:

  • The goal of this lock is to provide a stable, long-term income stream for the AEF without selling AURA, keeping alignment with the DAO. Selling AURA would offer a short-term fix but harm pricing and conflict with our DAO-aligned principles. This lock will only be used for gauge votes, not general proposals.

  • Income Cap: Another concern that was brought up was that if the price of BAL and AURA increases in the coming months then the income may be in excess of what is required. We will cap income at $40K/month. Any surplus will be returned to the Aura Treasury.

  • Transparency: We’ll establish a framework for regular reporting on AEF expenses to enhance transparency. The original funding proposal (AIP-69) still provides a high-level overview of AEF operations.

  • Snapshot Timing: That delay was on me—I took an extra day to finalize the proposal. Moving forward, we’ll adhere strictly to the 3-day discussion period before posting Snapshots.

Thanks again for the input and helping us refine this proposal!
