PIP-XX: Media Coverage – Governance Day | Velora DAO x Modular Crypto

Abstract

Governance Day represents a pivotal moment for Velora DAO, marking a strategic evolution from a protocol-centered identity to a community-driven DAO emphasizing participation, transparency and collective growth.

This proposal outlines how Modular Crypto will ensure Velora DAO’s presence at Governance Day is visible and strategically positioned, leveraging editorial coverage, social media amplification, in-depth reporting to connect the rebranding and governance evolution to the broader DAO ecosystem.

Through this collaboration, Velora DAO will not only participate in the event but establish thought leadership, engage communities, and create lasting narrative assets that reinforce its position as a leading voice in decentralized governance.

Motivation

Velora DAO’s rebranding is more than a visual shift, it signifies a new chapter of strategic growth and community engagement.

Governance Day provides an opportunity to:

  • Showcase Velora’s thought leadership in governance experimentation.

  • Strengthen its reputation as a DAO shaping innovation in the decentralized ecosystem.

  • Engage with global communities and leaders, reinforcing Velora’s authentic voice and narrative.

Modular Crypto brings expertise in media, storytelling, and ecosystem engagement to translate this transformation into a compelling, widely disseminated narrative, ensuring Velora’s message resonates both locally and globally.

Similarly to our last comment regarding event sponsorship, we want to express that the team at Laita Labs is against going forward with invoicing of complex initiatives like this through the DAO.

Such matters are best handled by an agile entity such as Laita Labs or any other initiative able to form a contract. Since a DAO is simply not capable of handling complex matters like accountability, price negotiation and coordination, especially for an event so close to the publishing of this proposal, we believe this is not the right place for this kind of discussion.

Going forward, our official position is that all proposals for the DAO should be kept solely to matters relating to the protocol and its governance token, with particular attention to growth of the protocol and its TVL.

First of all, thanks for crafting this detailed proposal and for taking the lead on the media coverage of the Governance Day for Velora DAO. By reading the goals and review of this proposal and knowing your experience from previous work, we expect nothing but great work from your side.

However, we’d tend to agree with @Laita that this might not be the most appropriate channel for this proposal. In fact, we actually think that this kind of initiative would fit better under the Velora Contributors Program (VCP). For example, it could be considered under the Engagement category.

We’re happy to keep this conversation going, to find the best way to fund your efforts, within the limits contemplated within the VCP, so we can have great coverage of Velora DAO at the Governance Day.
