Proposal: Rewards Distribution for Epoch 35
Vote: For
Rationale:
This proposal executes our routine with a little addon Base, thanks @WakeUpLabs for all efforts to maintaining consistency and transparency in the reward cycle. The process follows established parameters and clearly details manual Base execution until oSnap automation is finalized. It ensures timely and verifiable reward delivery with minimal risk hence voted For no hesitation.

Proposal: PIP-73 : VeloraDAO x Octav Partnership for Clear Treasury Reporting
Vote: For
Rationale:
Its an easy yes from me, this is solid good step, well-structured toward proper financial visibility and reporting for our DAO. Octav has also confirmed formally the $8,000 renewal rate and data continuity, which gives us predictability and removes any ambiguity down the line. The all-wallet setup means we’ll finally have full coverage across treasury, no blind spots, no questions asked. A high-impact, low-risk move that brings tangible clarity to our DAO operations.
Proposal: [TEST] Test Proposal v3 – oSnap Base Chain Integration Check
Vote: For
Rationale:
This is a straightforward and low-cost technical test meant to confirm that the oSnap configuration with the Safe wallet is functioning properly on Base. Since previous tests didn’t execute automatically, it’s essential to verify this setup before any real fund distributions occur.
Proposal: Gas Refunds distribution for Epoch 36
Vote: For
Proposal: Rewards distribution for Epoch 36
Vote: For
Rationale: I have completed checks with tools provided by WakeUpLabs and all seems correct hence voted For.
Proposal: PIP-74: Discontinuing the Gas Refund Program
Vote: FOR
Rationale: I voted FOR this proposal, as discontinuing the Gas Refund Program is a logical step in simplifying Velora’s operational flow and strengthening treasury sustainability.
Data from recent epochs shows that the refund amounts have become negligible relative to the overall distribution volume, yet the process still carries the same technical and coordination overhead as the main rewards program. Ending it removes redundant execution steps while preserving full transparency and preserves treasury.
Thanks @WakeUpLabs for bring this up.
Proposals: Gas Refunds distribution for Epoch 37, Rewards distribution for Epoch 37
Vote: FOR
Rationale: I voted For, for both proposals, verified and all checks out. Look forward to next distribution !
Proposal: PIP-75 - Fund request from a user claiming losses due to the March 2024 AugustusV6 vulnerability
Vote: Against
Rationale: I voted Against this proposal, the main argument was given on both discussions initiated by user and @SEEDGov effort to standardise and offer DAO a proper space to debate, my reasoning is as per bellow:
tl;dr
This situation is unfortunate, but the vulnerability was disclosed, mitigated, and compensated through a time-bound DAO program that has long since closed. Reopening refunds 18+ months later would create open-ended liability, governance risk, and potential abuse. Managing approvals is part of DeFi self-custody, and finality is necessary to protect the DAO and its treasury.
Proposal: PIP-76: Governance Cost Rationalization and Operational Continuity
Vote: For
Rationale: I’m voting FOR this proposal as it takes a responsible and necessary step toward reducing costs while ensuring operational continuity for the DAO.
The proposal maintains essential functions, avoids centralizing authority and keeps future incentive structures open and flexible. This strikes the right balance between cost discipline and long-term sustainability, and positions Velora to remain resilient while relying on engaged delegates rather than permanent structures.
