Proposal Details

As per this governance poll ratifying the bear market option from the latest budget proposal from the DAI Foundation Core Unit (DAIF-001), the following three DAI streams will be created, if this executive proposal passes:
- 67,863 DAI will be streamed to 0x34D8d61050Ef9D2B48Ab00e6dc8A8CA6581c5d63, starting on 2022-10-01 and ending on 2022-10-31.
- 329,192 DAI will be streamed to 0x34D8d61050Ef9D2B48Ab00e6dc8A8CA6581c5d63, starting on 2022-11-01 and ending on 2023-08-31.
- 270,000 DAI will be streamed to 0x5F5c328732c9E52DfCb81067b8bA56459b33921f, starting on 2022-10-01 and ending on 2022-12-31.
Oracles Core Unit DAI Budget Stream
As per this governance poll ratifying the latest budget proposal from the Oracles Core Unit (ORA-001), the following DAI stream will be created, if this executive proposal passes:
- 2,337,804 DAI will be streamed to 0x2d09B7b95f3F312ba6dDfB77bA6971786c5b50Cf, starting on 2022-07-01 and ending on 2023-06-30.
Note: the approved budget was for 4,554,575 DAI, but the previous year's budget stream still contains an unclaimed amount of 2,216,771 DAI. Following discussion with the ORA-001 facilitator @Nik, it was agreed that the new stream would be set up containing the difference between the approved budget, and the DAI remaining in the previous DAI budget stream. The Oracles Core Unit will therefore still have access to the full DAI amount approved by Maker Governance. A further 733,547.93 DAI was returned to the Surplus Buffer.
SPF Funding Transfers
As per these governance polls 1, 2, the following DAI transfers to fund Special Purpose Funds (SPFs) will take place if this executive proposal passes:
