Prioritize rETH withdrawal buffer (RPIP-65)
The team will add this to the backlog for Saturn 1. It is highly likely we will include it in devnet-3 (currently working on devnet-2).

Saturn Follow-up Vote No. 1 (RPIP-66)
No actions, but yay for governance tidy up!

Increasing oDAO share of inflation (RPIP-68)
The team will schedule the inflation allocation pDAO guardian change for monday our time.

The oDAO have already discussed seat reduction and have an indicative plan. I will share more details soon but it does include the team reducing their seats by 2 (so having 2 remaining).

Let me know if you have any concerns.

Thanks!

Hey everyone!

An onchain Protocol DAO proposal has been raised to automate IMC payments for the next 5 reward intervals.

The proposal implements the already agreed RPIP-10 budget split

The proposal automates the recurring payment so that a Protocol DAO guardian manual payment is not necessary. The IMC can claim their share of inflation each month (28 days), without relying on the team. As a team we are very excited to have these recurring payments in place, driven from the Protocol DAO.

To follow the discussion leading up to the proposal:

A GMC automated payment will be proposed in the future.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thanks!
