Let's welcome the Black Flag Bulletin to Paragraph, the most crypto-native publishing platform available. Please remember to add this email address to your contacts so the Bulletin doesn't end up decorating your trash.
The DAO is still in the midst of transition, but will be finished soon(TM). Most important are the changes to the membership structure and deadlines for a discount on membership:
There are three types of membership which will be implemented over the next couple of months:
Flag Curious - Non-voting members with mostly read-only access to our Discord.
Flag Raiser - Full access to Discord but limited governance role.
Flag Bearer - Longer-term members with governance and membership approval responsibilities.
A 'stake' (deposit) in the Black Flag DAO Staking pool is required for Flag Raiser or Flag Bearer membership. The yield on this staking will help to fund ongoing operations, creating a more sustainable DAO.
In addition, there is a social consensus layer attached to these memberships, but the social consensus mechanism is streamlined until the end of ETHDenver. Which means:
Right now there is the opportunity for existing Level 1 Members of the DAO to join Black Flag DAO with a lower deposit (100 USDC instead of 500 USDC) and assumed social consensus (no vote necessary for membership). This opportunity finishes on March 2, 2025.
You can check your eligibility and ask questions in the BFD Discord, or join us on Saturday, February 18 at 8pm UTC for an X Space on the new membership structure and an update on the transition.
