Progress Council: $250,000/mo - What have they done?

Just posting cause it comes to mind from time to time. I see a couple council peeps making an X post here or there, and I’m hoping that more is going on behind the scenes (than just gold allocation pickers) cause if not, why not use that $250,000 each month in better ways? 95%+ of the topics here get one response and then nothing happens.

Any insight as to what Blast is spending that money on I think would be a nice motivator of confidence for the 35 people who are still around trying to support the chain. This is why a true governance coin is effective, and majority of others do it.

As each month passes, sentiment continues to fall (no matter how much you want to spin up a narrative) - things need to happen and change, and imho that begins with the Council. Are their hands tied by Pac? Maybe. But we’ll never know until hundreds of thousands of dollars are further wasted.

Please, prove or show me I’m wrong.

I didn’t know they got $250k/mo. As one of the 35, that’s a total waste.

I feel you gwr.

And it’s refreshing to see you around, consistently and continuously.

There is indeed more going on behind the scenes but even as a council member, I have limited access to information.

But I have been giving a lot of suggestions to the Blast team and sharing my POV on things that could be implemented in the short-term, to get the sentiment back, improve comms and actually do meaningful marketing.

Also, I have made myself available to help with Marketing Strategy and overall comms.

Lets see, Sao should get back to me on these in the upcoming days.

Also @gwr is your math accurate? 250k/month?

It’s 250k/year for the council, not monthly

I will probably echo common sentiment in that communication needs to improve - two proposals here from us (Fenix) for Ethena allocation of USDB + Baseline (yield buybacks) and no public engagement from the Blast team - Just some open discussions like yes, no or just a non-committal opinion would go a long way to make the community feel more engaged
