Proposal Information
Proposal description:
We’re requesting 16M GIV from the GIVgarden to fund the rGIV DAO treasury on Optimism and cover equity payouts for Giveth contributors from June through December 2026. Over the past 5 months, our average monthly equity distribution has been around 2M GIV. We’ve added a 200k GIV monthly buffer to account for price fluctuations, which brings us to about 2.2M per month — approximately 16M total for the 7-month period.
Proposal rationale:
The rGIV DAO treasury on Optimism is running low and doesn’t have enough to sustain equity payouts through the end of the year. For context, the contributor equity program allows Giveth contributors to opt in to receive part of their monthly compensation in GIV plus a bonus across different tiers — full details here: https://forum.giveth.io/t/equity-opportunities-for-giveth-contributors/1334
Rather than scrambling month to month, we’d like to get the treasury topped up so we can keep distributions running smoothly.
Funding Information
Amount of GIV requested: 16,000,000 GIV
Ethereum address where funds shall be transferred: rGIV DAO
More detailed description of how funds will be handled and used:
Funds will sit in the rGIV DAO multisig on Optimism and be distributed monthly to opted-in contributors as part of their equity compensation. The additional 200k monthly will give us some buffer as GIV price moves around. Any unused funds at the end of 2026 will be returned to the GIVgarden or rolled over pending a new proposal.
This post will remain here on the forum for a minimum of 5 days before moving to Snapshot to ratify on-chain.
