Thanks for sharing. I had actually read it earlier today while scrolling on X. I’m currently going through the forum looking at some of the ideas previously discussed, and consolidating them into one document. I plan on finalizing it sometime in December. Im hoping the SOS is finalized around the same time and we see a path forward on giving a utility/premium to ARB to be voted on next year. Speaking of SOS, is that still on track by EOY? Interestingly, I did see a staking proposal was passed last year and a staking contract was actually completed but never implemented.
