Overview

This week's Builder DAO call was relatively quiet, with no active or upcoming proposals. The primary focus was on recent voting dynamics, upcoming grant plans, updates from the Tech Pod, and governance clarity regarding the DAO's veto structure. Updates also included operational cleanup around billing and infrastructure, feedback requests on the tech residency, and highlights from community initiatives on Farcaster.

Key Takeaways

• The Community Resident proposal passed, though voting participation was lower due to summer travel.
• Satori voted on their own proposal—allowed, but typically avoided—without causing internal controversy.
• Builder DAO remains autonomous from Nouns DAO despite outside speculation; governance decisions are internally managed.
• Discussion on moving forward with a new OP grant round, potentially expanding use cases beyond DAOs.
• Ongoing updates from the Tech Pod include Farcaster Mini App feature parity, proposal improvements, and wallet fixes.
• Builder DAO's veto power still resides with Zora, with a narrow and codified scope.
• Identified and resolving duplicate billing for Railway services.
• Feedback requested for Tech Residency Milestone 2 progress.
• Farcaster mini app and related integrations are being pushed to production and shared publicly.
• Proposal voting inside the mini app is being tested for functionality.
