I agree with cutting operational costs given current conditions, as I’ve previously highlighted in my comments on why Velora’s revenue has decreased recently. With 2026 expected to be a volatile year, reducing some operational workload and expenses can help the DAO manage overhead and extend runway. As noted by other delegates, several DAOs and projects are moving in this direction—for example, Optimism recently significantly reduced its Discord operations, leaving only a few channels in read-only mode.
At the same time, governance actions take time to reflect in market outcomes, and historically we’ve seen very few cases where governance changes alone translate quickly into price performance. For that reason, these decisions should primarily focus on sustainability and navigating uncertainty.
My only question is: if this proposal gets approved, will the pause be effective starting next month, or by the end of Cycle 2?
