Extend the DOLA Payroll Allowance
Summary
Authorize an additional 175,500 DOLA allowance for the contributor-payroll contract so that all active contributors can continue to receive compensation for the next 30 days while Nour’s DAO restructuring is finalized.
Context and Problem
- Seasonal payroll model – The DAO traditionally funds contributor payments in fixed “seasons” (e.g., S3 → S4).
- Pause directive – At Nour’s request, working-group heads paused the transition to Season 4 pending a broader restructuring plan.
- Result – The dedicated DOLA allowance on the payroll contract has now depleted, halting payouts entirely.
Contributors deliver ongoing work that underpins core protocol operations, risk management, and development. It is crucial to continue compensation as it otherwise risks talent loss and operational disruption.
Extension Calculation
- Unclaimed payroll (expected at time of proposal going live) = 55,000 DOLA
- Monthly Payroll = 120,500
- Allowance required = 120,500 + 55,000 = 175,500 DOLA
On-Chain Actions
