Proposal Renewal: Treasury Advisory Group (TAG) Mandate and Funding Request
Short Summary
This proposal seeks to renew the mandate and funding for the Treasury Advisory Group (TAG) for an additional 6-month period.
High Level Objective
The renewal of TAG’s mandate will ensure continuity in providing valuable expertise and support for wise treasury management, governance processes, and resource allocation as well as providing input on token utility, a crucial element in the success of the Centrifuge DAO.
Background of Proposal
TAG has successfully facilitated and advised on treasury-related activities for the Centrifuge DAO, delivering on its initial mandate to improve treasury management, accountability, and transparency as well as taking further measures to activate the Centrifuge DAO, as will be expanded on in this RFC.

Proposed Funding Request
We significantly extended our proposed objectives for the next six months, which will require additional time.
We have adjusted our funding contributions to maintain and further enhance the quality and scope of our services up to 8 hours per week.The Treasury Advisory Group is currently seeking to expand its membership by one, specifically in an area of targeted expertise. This strategic addition is intended to enhance the overall effectiveness of the group and pave the way for new opportunities and initiatives.
Upon approval, the selected candidate will be formally introduced on the community forum to ensure transparency and engagement with stakeholders.
In case that is not going to happen as planned, TAG will initiate a refund of the associated token allocation back to the Treasury.
The following changes:
Budget Overview (6 Months):
Payment Terms:
-
Payment will be requested in one bi-annual instalment.
-
Any unused funds will be returned to the DAO treasury after accounting for all expenses.
Change or improvement
Working hours have been increased from 6.5 hours per week to 8, and a new specialist is being added to the team. Therefore, the request is 185,280 CFG instead of 153,330 CFG for 6 months.
Alignment to the mission of the Centrifuge DAO
The renewal of the TAG mandate will directly contribute to the realization of CentrifugeDAO’s vision and mission through the following efforts:
-
Support on the new DAO Marketing Taskforce
-
Spending Advisory
-
Community Education
-
CFG DAO Renaissance
-
Grant Program
-
Community Campaigns
Conclusion
Renewing TAG’s mandate is critical for the sustainable and transparent management of Centrifuge DAO’s treasury. With this renewal, TAG aims to build upon its past success and further enhance the DAO’s financial decision-making processes and governance framework.
