Dash Core Group Compensation October - December
Dash Core Group September 26th Funding Proposals
DCG is submitting 2 funding proposals for the budget cycle that pays out September 26th:
1) DCG Compensation: 2,558 Dash per month (currently in month 1/3)
2) DCG Supplemental proposal: TBD on amount.
What does this specific proposal fund?
This proposal funds Dash Core Group's ongoing compensation costs - including all developers, administrative, and support staff. This is a multi-month proposal that will cover compensation for October through December 2023.
What is the proposal funding?
As of September 1st, 2023, DCG has 29 paid staff at full time/close to full time associated with the project and 4 part time contributors. In addition, we have 2 volunteers who have decided to work for no compensation and 1 person who has decided to work at minimal compensation. Since the last proposal we seen 2 individuals leave the project, both developers in the Platform team.
Our projected run-rate for September will be around $160,000. With this current compensation proposal, we are asking for total funding of $67,288 per month. If this proposal passes as well with a supplemental, we will be consuming roughly $80,000 from our reserve per month. Currently we should be able to operate without drastic structural changes for around 2 more months. We will be making another proposal within a few days that if passes should improve the outlook dramatically for continued funded development of the project.
What does DCG's current structure look like?
DCG has evolved to primarily be a tech focused organization that can be grouped into 2 main parts, technology and technology support.
