In a recent discussion started by @kdowlin, the community is exploring ways to reward Safe users and active governance participants. The proposal references the non-redeemed SAFE User Airdrop Allocation and aims to align the distribution of these tokens with the original goals of decentralization, rewarding usage, and encouraging active governance participation. The proposal poses two options: extending the original token airdrop criteria or targeting active users since the first airdrop’s closure. It is important to note that the Safe Ecosystem Foundation governs User Allocation funds, not SafeDAO. This distinction informs decision-making around these funds. Following SEP #21 SAFE Token Utility, these funds are designated for the Safe Activity Program (SAP) to reward active users. Although SafeDAO can make recommendations, like with SEP #5, the Foundation ultimately oversees the airdrop funds.

@Rocketman-21 proposes a protocol to turn any Safe into a Nounish DAO. Seeking 30k USDC under Strategy 2 of OBRA, this project aims to build a module and website for easy Safe to DAO conversion to enhance SafeDAO’s collaborative governance capabilities. Grounds DAO exemplifies this new model. The project envisions launching its first Nounish DAO by Q2 2024, with goals to educate the community and convert 10 Safes into DAOs with a combined treasury of over $1M by Q3 2024.

Safe Events:
- SafeCon returns this Spring! Sign up now and dive into what to expect at the event.
- Safe Token Transferability community call
- Summary:
- SafeDAO members convened at the community call on March 28th to discuss the next big step for the DAO and ecosystem at large: making the SAFE token transferable. This call brought together community members, core team members, and notable partners who co-authored the proposal including LuukDAO, Tally, Areta, StableLab, and more. The call focused on the proposal in its maturity assessment phase, notable for its wide co-authorship reflecting strong community support.
- The backstory of the SAFE token, from its initial non-transferable state to today, is a story of community-driven governance and careful planning. After a previously rejected proposal, SafeDAO set five clear milestones to ensure the community was ready for this move. With these milestones now met, the community is gearing up for a decision that could see the token become transferable by April 23, 2024, using the SafeSnap module for a secure transition.
- Speakers shared exciting updates on SafeDAO’s roadmap, discussing innovations and initiatives such as the Safe Activity Program ratified in SEP 21, and other token utilities designed to bolster the ecosystem.
- This meeting highlighted the importance of SafeDAO’s commitment to structured and progressive decentralization and active community involvement. SafeDAO stands on the brink of a decision that could significantly shape its governance landscape, all thanks to years of dedicated teamwork and community input.
- Summary:
- Stay tuned for the upcoming Governance call in the first week of May where the community will go through the full structure and assets of SafeDAO and its relationship to the Safe Ecosystem Foundation
