Catch Up With What Happened This Week in BanklessDAO
Dear Bankless Nation 🏴,
One analogy for governance of a large and vibrant DAO such as ours might be that it’s akin to making modifications to the rudder while trying to steer the ship through the deep blue ocean. The decisions and actions we take today will impact our experience and our direction in the coming months. In this week's editorial, Kornekt gives us a preview of what we might expect for Season 7 in light of the governance decisions taken in Season 6.
During this week’s Community Call, we were fortunate to witness the launch of the Governator bot in a poll presented by jameswmontgomery.eth, added the upcoming Hedgey Finance demo to our diaries, and heard about the release of the Decentralized Arts newsletter’s second NFT drop which will return 10% of proceeds back to the DAO Treasury. The call was summed up with an insightful round table discussion about the scope and ethos of the Ombuds office.
For those that were anticipating a gap week this week, please note that the official gap week will run from February 6 - 12. Season 7 will begin on February 13. In the meantime, let's stay bullish and have an awesome weekend. bDAO Strongđź’Ş.

It's the end of another season at BanklessDAO and it's time to reflect on what we've been building and where that might take us in Season 7. The DAO's Season 6 began with the unpleasant news of the FTX implosion, which amplified the existing FUD in the market. However, the external bearish sentiment did not affect our conviction about the value we're creating, nor did it slow down our progress, as guilds, departments, and projects at the DAO remained focused on fulfilling their mandates.
Season 6 saw governance take center stage with the completion of the GSE Cohort 1 and the initiation of multiple Forum proposals targeted at improving the DAO's governance processes. We're now at a point where we not only count the successes of the outgoing season, but also build upon them as we move forward towards a bright future. We know that, whether the bulls return now or later, we will continue to build structures that advance the adoption of web3.
As we head into Season 7, the DAO will implement several proposals that have already passed, continue discussions around those that are still pending, and will surely see several new innovations that will help propel the DAO's mission. We are always looking towards improving the existing process and ensuring that the Constitution appropriately captures operational realities and is properly refined.
