Summary
Two of Vesta Finance’s co-founders want to exit the project and suggest a rage-quit with a $1.7m payout. The proposal comes after cultural issues within the founding team. Vesta’s third co-founder and CEO wants to continue with the project and proposes alternative outcomes.
Frax Finance proposes to launch staked FRAX (sFRAX) which distributes yield generated from RWAs. This move comes after MakerDAO successfully grew DAI supply by launching the DAI Savings Rate whose design inspired the sFRAX.
MakerDAO community debates a $100m allocation to tokenized US treasury bonds. The plan is to bring more RWA investments onchain which ties into Rune’s Endgame vision of launching a RWA-centric SubDAO called “Quant”.
