Accounting
In late May last year a transaction was authorised to subsidise the now defunct community multisig approximately 64,000 TORN as apart of proposal #13. Governance remains the only signer on the multisig after the departure of the other subsidiary actors of the organisation.
This proposal involves canceling the stream in question to redeem the approximate outstanding 25,000 TORN back to the treasury directly, rather than letting the stream fully complete and delivering all of the stream’s funds to the multisig. Which requires additional steps to manage and shall be subject to further accounting and potentially remanagement at a later date.
Remuneration
I am advocating for compensation for my past and to align future commitments that I have undertaken for the organisation and continue under the terms of this proposal. I extended my efforts to maintain the community and the software which grants access to the protocol after the OFAC sanctions.
Given the lack of assistance at hand, the complexity of the technology, and the potential legal ligations that may arise from my involvement with the organisation. I am advocating for a competitive salary to sustain my involvement to the organisation. Which stands at $240,000 per year, vested over and priced independently each quarter, facilitated via a Sablier stream that is ruled by governance - allowing the possibility to redact it through an on-chain vote.
Each quarter (91 days), a proposal will be required to continue remuneration for the next, this helps maximize the capital efficiency of treasury resources because of the ever-changing market conditions.
Base salary: $240,000
Payment per quarter: $60,000
TORN 24d H/L average price: $5.965
Q1 renumeration: 10,058.67 TORN
