Thank you for putting this together—overall, I support the goal of utilising idle assets, especially now that the DAO has established mechanisms to manage treasury yield generation.
That said, I’d like to propose a middle-ground approach specifically for the Events Budget:
Instead of dissolving it, I suggest moving the funds under the ATMC balance to generate yield, while earmarking it for future event opportunities.
I agree with many of the points raised. However, I believe it’s valuable for the DAO to retain the option to directly support smaller, DAO-native initiatives that might not fall within the Foundation’s roadmap or the D.A.O. Grants threshold. Removing this budget entirely would eliminate a flexible tool that could be useful for unique opportunities, especially in H2.
By integrating the Events Budget into ATMC-managed strategies, we avoid leaving funds idle while preserving optionality. This approach ensures that if compelling event proposals emerge, they can be supported without requiring new budget allocations or delaying governance cycles.
In short: let’s keep the Events Budget productive, not dissolved.
