PIP-71: VeloraDAO Sponsorship of Governance Day 2025 – Buenos Aires (Snapshot)
Summary:
The proposal seeks DAO approval for VeloraDAO to sponsor Governance Day 2025 in Buenos Aires with a budget of up to $6,000. This positions Velora alongside leading governance organizations, providing stage presence, brand visibility, and new partnership opportunities.
Vote: AGAINST
Rationale:
While we appreciate the initiative and agree that visibility around Velora’s rebrand is important, there appear to be more cost-effective ways to achieve this goal online or through DeFi-focused events where the partnership value is clearer. Therefore, we cannot support this sponsorship proposal in its current form.
In addition, as Laita pointed out, the critical issue here is not simply the sponsorship tier selection but the operational details that accompany it, such as booth management, merchandise, and track coordination.
A more appropriate path would be to design a funding mechanism that enables smoother coordination with service providers, or to revisit DAO-level sponsorship only once these operational elements are clearly defined.
