2. DigixDAO Updates

Since the last update, multiple features have been pushed to our DigixDAO Governance Platform. We are glad to announce that all users will now have the ability to browse through the projects’ details and discussion. The formatting of the comment section has also been improved to allow for bullet points, links, etc.

As a quick overview of the current projects, there are two projects that are in the Commit Phase of the Participant Voting round. Bullionix has received 45 commits while Internet Treasure Hunt has received 50 commits. The Commit Phase for both of these projects will start on the 9th of May.

To all voters who have voted: please keep your JSON files in a secure location. You will need them to reveal your votes when the Reveal Phase starts. Your votes would only be counted after being revealed

To all participants who have not voted: Please remember to save the JSON file right before sending the transaction to commit your vote.

To potential proposers: to be able to receive funding within Quarter 1, you will need to submit and finalise your project before the end of day 49. This is because it takes 10 days for Moderator Voting, 21 days for Participant Voting, and 10 days safety margin for the claiming of the Participant Voting round, which in total adds up to 41 days (90–41=49).
