Summary
This proposal suggests capping the salaries for all workstream leaders at ShapeShiftDAO at $120,000 per year in USDC, plus time-locked FOX payments.
Abstract
Hi ShapeShift community, my names Charles, I'm the co-founder and growth lead at Phuture. I'm bringing forward a new idea. The best way I see is to put forward a basic proposal which can be expanded upon from feedback, following the proposal structure.
At this point in time, the ShapeShift DAO treasury has $1,466,495 USDC. This capital should be put to work, in a safe, low risk environment. Starting with a select percentage then growing the exposure from there.
Hello ShapeShift DAO it is that time again and the race to the bottom is still in full effect. With WorkStream renewals starting, who will be left standing as contributors?
Given that “Fear” is a common motivator and many make decisions based on emotions, this is a frequent pitfall of "leaders". Compound this in an environment where the bait has been taken and you get a “feeding frenzy” of, I follow suit or I am a target. This can become overwhelming without experience, the confidence of value, ability or, misinterpretation of compensation. Once this cycle is established on a larger scale it becomes harder to revert because fear grows and now it is a me VS them mentality.
I am sorry to say but the DAO is very ripe for this, yes we are in a “BEAR market”, yes we are not leveraged safely with treasury stable coins, diversified with different treasury assets, don't generate enough income or inflows of assets, or positioned with a large user base that we can rely on, and yes fear is very present both privately and publicly within the DAO.

Title says it all tbh
Note: just to press the issues of this proposal, I've slightly edited Mperklin's initial proposal and am looking for feed back once again.
Summary
This proposal establishes the Treasury Signer Selection Committee which will be responsible for vetting and appointing new Treasury Signers for the ShapeShift DAO.
It also establishes the Treasury Signer role as a full-time paid role of the ShapeShift DAO with a formal job description, duties, standards of conduct, and compensation.
Summary: Deposit $3500 of liquidity into the Mt. Pelerin Liquidity pool in order to earn an extra 35% of revenue on each purchase through Mt. Pelerin On-Ramp.
Abstract: This would allow for the DAO to earn from the current 15% of all fees on purchases through Mt. Pelerin to 50%. The focus on the DAO currently increasing MAU which should ultimately drive more revenues through using features like onramps like Mt. Pelerin. We tried to get the 50% rev share without the staking of $3500 worth of MPS/USDC, but were ultimately declined but were told we could get the same boost if we deposited into the pool.

Summary
This proposal establishes the Treasury Signer Selection Committee which will be responsible for vetting and appointing new Treasury Signers for the ShapeShift DAO.
It also establishes the Treasury Signer role as a full-time paid role of the ShapeShift DAO with formal job description, duties, standards of conduct, and compensation.
Background
The ShapeShift DAO has control of millions of dollars of funds that it uses to further its mission of building and maintaining the easiest-to-use decentralized interface for blockchains. In order to sustain the DAO’s activity, including compensating the hundreds of active users who contribute to the DAO and to reimburse their expenses on behalf of the DAO, the DAO treasury must regularly create, sign, and broadcast blockchain transactions. Treasury Signers fulfill this function on behalf of the DAO.
When the ShapeShift DAO was formed, ShapeShift AG appointed an initial set of Treasury Signers to manage its treasury, however no process was established for what happens when a signer retires, or for appointing new signers to the set.
Abstract
This proposal is to authorize the Treasury Management and Diversification Committee (TMDC) to:
Advise on the allocation of certain limited assets located within the ShapeShift treasury, amounting to a new total of 180M FOX tokens (current TMDC allocation is 120M FOX tokens)
Summary
The current Shapeshift DAO treasury’s available holdings of FOX amount to 125 M FOX (Shapeshift DAO Treasury Zapper Link)
Therefore, if this proposal was passed, the FOX within the Shapeshift DAO treasury NOT managed by the TMDC would now amount to ~65M FOX.
