Enabling transferability will enhance the token’s utility and value, and also allow broader participation within the DAO, fostering a more robust and decentralized governance structure.

Proposals: [SEP 24] karpatkey - SAFE DAO Treasury Management Core Unit
Vote: Make no changes
Rationale: We’re voting against this proposal due to critical concerns about the proposal, particularly the lack of clearly defined KPIs for treasury management and an overly high pricing model. The absence of specific KPIs and established processes raises significant risks of mismanagement and misalignment with the DAO’s strategic objectives, compromising operational transparency. Furthermore, the proposed 2% fee on Assets Under Management (AUM) annually far exceeds the industry norm of 0.5% to 1.0%, which could unnecessarily erode the treasury’s value over time.
