## Proposal Details
|
||||
- Project: Solomon
|
||||
- Proposal: DP-00001 (MEM): Treasury Subcommittee (Pre-Formation) and Legal Budget
|
||||
- Status: Passed
|
||||
- Created: 2026-03-05
|
||||
- URL: https://www.metadao.fi/projects/solomon/proposal/8c9sFZ5Z46ZLnhywkWuJ5BhJK4Wrj19AN4gzQicyBKjK
|
||||
- Description: This proposal series sets up a staged path to deploy the DAO treasury under
|
||||
explicit controls. DP-00001 does two things: it funds a capped $150k legal
|
||||
and compliance budget in a segregated wallet that can only be used for legal,
|
||||
regulatory, and related compliance work, and it nominates a pre-formation
|
||||
treasury subcommittee for readiness work only (no authority to move treasury
|
||||
funds). The follow-on proposals then define the treasury's permitted
|
||||
capital policy actions and, once the Company is formed, designate the
|
||||
Treasury Account and activate delegated authority with strict limits
|
||||
and required reporting.
|
||||

## TLDR
|
||||
|
||||
This proposal series sets up a staged path to deploy the DAO treasury under
|
||||
explicit controls. DP-00001 does two things: it funds a capped $150k legal
|
||||
and compliance budget in a segregated wallet that can only be used for legal,
|
||||
regulatory, and related compliance work, and it nominates a pre-formation
|
||||
treasury subcommittee for readiness work only (no authority to move treasury
|
||||
funds). The follow-on proposals then define the treasury's permitted
|
||||
capital policy actions and, once the Company is formed, designate the
|
||||
Treasury Account and activate delegated authority with strict limits
|
||||
and required reporting.
|
||||
|
||||
What this unlocks is the ability to begin bounded treasury deployment.
|
||||
Earning yield and seeding liquidity under approved guardrails, rather than
|
||||
ad hoc governance. That functional readiness is one of the primary gating
|
||||
requirement to onboard partners and lift caps for broader access to Solomon.

## Simple overview (who / what / where / why)
|
||||
|
||||
**Who**
|
||||
|
||||
- DAO members voting through the Governance System.
|
||||
- Treasury Subcommittee Designates (bios below):
|
||||
Drew, Usman, Kru, Kollan.
|
||||
- Selection principles: Designates should (i) hold membership interests
|
||||
in the Company, and (ii) be member-professionals with demonstrated
|
||||
execution in relevant domains (e.g., DeFi builders/founders,
|
||||
LPs/liquidity operators, treasury/risk, ops/security, and -- where
|
||||
needed -- legal/compliance).
|
||||
- Legal and compliance professionals engaged under the Company framework.
|
||||
|
||||
**What**
|
||||
|
||||
This proposal does **two** main things:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Names Treasury Subcommittee Designates (pre-formation only).**
|
||||
They can start planning and preparation work but cannot move or
|
||||
control Company or DAO treasury funds under this proposal.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Releases a capped legal and compliance budget.**
|
||||
Up to $150,000 in USDC is moved from the DAO treasury into a dedicated
|
||||
legal budget wallet to cover Company-facing legal and compliance work.
|
||||
|
||||
**Where**
|
||||
|
||||
- The vote happens in the DAO's on-chain Governance System.
|
||||
- If the proposal passes, the governance system executes the on-chain transfer
|
||||
of the approved legal budget from the DAO treasury to the legal budget wallet.
|
||||
This proposal does not include a pre-published tx bundle; tx references will be
|
||||
recorded after execution.
|
||||
|
||||
**Why**
|
||||
|
||||
- To put a proper treasury subcommittee structure in place, as
|
||||
contemplated in the Company Agreement and Founding Charter.
|
||||
- To let the Company, acting as a DAO, use its own treasury in an organized
|
||||
way, under clear delegated authority and limits set by members.
|
||||
- To improve security and stability of Company Treasury Accounts as much
|
||||
as possible in a hostile environment (exploits, scams, and bad actors are
|
||||
a real risk).
|
||||
- To fund the legal and compliance work needed to finish formation, keep
|
||||
filings current, and support safe governance going forward.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Treasury Subcommittee Designates (pre-formation only)
|
||||
|
||||
**What this part does**
|
||||
|
||||
Names a small group of Treasury Subcommittee Designates with the skills
|
||||
to help design and prepare the future treasury setup.
|
||||
|
||||
- Lets them work on:
|
||||
- draft treasury policies and guardrails,
|
||||
- a second multisig / vault plan (signers, threshold, roles),
|
||||
- allowlists, limits, and incident-response playbooks,
|
||||
- checklists for service providers and infrastructure.
|
||||
|
||||
**What they can see and share**
|
||||
|
||||
- Some information about wallets, controls, and security will not be
|
||||
published to everyone, because that would increase risk to Company assets.
|
||||
- Designates must sign a strict Treasury Subcommittee confidentiality
|
||||
undertaking before they see security-sensitive material (the
|
||||
"Undertaking").
|
||||
|
||||
**What they cannot do under DP-00001**
|
||||
|
||||
Under this proposal alone, Designates:
|
||||
|
||||
- cannot move or control DAO or Company treasury funds;
|
||||
- cannot act as the live Treasury Subcommittee yet;
|
||||
- cannot speak for, bind, or sign on behalf of the Company just because
|
||||
they are Designates.
|
||||
|
||||
Any real treasury authority only attaches later, after Company formation
|
||||
and only if a separate activation proposal (intended: DP-00003) is passed.
|
||||
|
||||
The proposed Designates are as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
### Drew

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
## 2. Legal and compliance budget (capped)
|
||||
|
||||
This proposal also:
|
||||
|
||||
- approves a capped legal and compliance budget of $150,000 (the
|
||||
"Legal Budget"); and
|
||||
- moves up to that amount of USDC from the DAO treasury into a dedicated
|
||||
Legal Budget wallet specified in the Resolution text.
|
||||
|
||||
**Key points:**
|
||||
- The amount is fixed and capped by this proposal. Any further legal or
|
||||
compliance budget in the future would need its own governance action.
|
||||
- This proposal sets the team-sponsored proposal pass threshold to -300 bps,
|
||||
the non-team proposal pass threshold to +300 bps and the minimum stake
|
||||
threshold from 500k -> 1.5M to align with the other cohort DAOs.
|
||||
- The $150,000 is intended to cover ongoing Company-facing legal and
|
||||
compliance costs while maintaining a buffer.
|
||||
- These funds are restricted to legal, regulatory, and related compliance
|
||||
work and cannot be used for anything else.
|
||||
- The work will be contracted across three firms:
|
||||
[Morrison Cohen LLP](https://www.morrisoncohen.com/),
|
||||
[NXT Law](https://www.nxt.law/), and [GVRN](https://www.gvrn.ai/).
|
||||
- The purpose is to pay for legal, regulatory, and related work needed to:
|
||||
complete Company formation, keep the Company compliant with its filing
|
||||
and reporting duties, and support safe governance and treasury structures.
|
||||
|
||||
This summary does not describe individual invoices, providers, or
|
||||
specific workstreams. Those details may be handled under Company processes
|
||||
and, where needed, under confidentiality or privilege.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Why a Treasury Subcommittee is needed
|
||||
|
||||
The Founding Charter creates a Company Treasury Subcommittee to manage
|
||||
Company Treasury Accounts "in the ordinary course of treasury management,"
|
||||
within limits and policies adopted by members.
|
||||
|
||||
In plain terms, a Treasury Subcommittee is needed because:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Good practice.**
|
||||
A DAO of this size needs a small, focused group to handle day-to-day
|
||||
treasury mechanics, inside rules that everyone can see and vote on.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Stronger oversight.**
|
||||
The subcommittee operates only within a scope and limits that members set
|
||||
by Resolution. Proposals, policies, and caps come from governance;
|
||||
subcommittee members work inside those boundaries.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Safer operations.**
|
||||
There are real attackers in this space. A structured treasury subcommittee,
|
||||
combined with multisig controls and clear procedures, lowers the chance
|
||||
that a single mistake or a single compromised key can cause large losses.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Delegated authority (with guardrails).**
|
||||
Once activated in a later proposal, the subcommittee can carry out routine
|
||||
treasury actions (within caps and policies) without needing a full DAO
|
||||
vote for every small step, while still staying inside the rules members
|
||||
approve.
|
||||
|
||||
DP-00001 is the pre-formation step: it names the Designates and funds
|
||||
the legal and compliance work so the full structure can be finished and
|
||||
switched on safely later.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. SOP Registry and Operational Packs (how policies become real)
|
||||
|
||||
Good policy undergoes evolution in stages: drafting, iteration, adoption.
|
||||
Subcommittee members help author SOPs, the wider membership can
|
||||
review and weigh in, and the DAO ratifies the final versions through
|
||||
Futarchy votes via Operational Packs.
|
||||
|
||||
That is what SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) are for:
|
||||
|
||||
- **SOP Registry:** the canonical place where Company-side procedural and
|
||||
security policies are recorded, versioned, and (when appropriate)
|
||||
ratified as governance instruments.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Interim SOPs:** the Head Steward or a Subcommittee (within its existing
|
||||
authority and scope) can adopt an SOP on an interim basis for immediate use.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Operational Packs:** later, SOPs are batched into an Operational Pack
|
||||
proposal and ratified by governance so the DAO can make them effective
|
||||
instruments with clear hashes/identifiers and an effective date.
|
||||
|
||||
DP-00001 does not bundle or ratify any SOPs yet. It introduces the
|
||||
framework so members know what is coming, and so Designates can start
|
||||
drafting policies in a controlled, auditable way.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Three-step rollout (how this fits together)
|
||||
|
||||
The treasury and legal setup is being rolled out in three stages so
|
||||
members can see and vote on each part separately:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Step 1 – DP-00001 (this proposal).**
|
||||
- Name Treasury Subcommittee Designates (pre-formation, no treasury
|
||||
authority).
|
||||
- Release the capped Legal Budget and move it to the Legal Budget wallet.
|
||||
- Introduce the SOP Registry + Operational Pack model (no SOPs
|
||||
adopted yet).
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Step 2 – DP-00002 (planned).**
|
||||
- Introduce a **SOLO buyback framework**.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Step 3 – DP-00003 (planned).**
|
||||
- Confirm that the Company is formed.
|
||||
- Designate the second multisig / vault as an official Company
|
||||
Treasury Account under the Company Agreement.
|
||||
- Move an initial tranche from the main DAO treasury into that Company
|
||||
account and turn on delegated treasury authority for the live
|
||||
Treasury Subcommittee within agreed limits.
|
||||
|
||||
Each step will have its own proposal and vote. Where an execution bundle is
|
||||
published, it is recorded alongside the proposal history. Members can review
|
||||
each stage on its own merits.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. What DP-00001 does not do
|
||||
|
||||
For clarity, this proposal does not:
|
||||
|
||||
- turn the Designates into a live Treasury Subcommittee with authority to
|
||||
move Company Treasury Accounts;
|
||||
- create or designate any Company Treasury Account on its own;
|
||||
- adopt, ratify, or bundle any SOPs yet (those come later via
|
||||
Operational Packs);
|
||||
- start SOLO buybacks or change voting thresholds (beyond the team-sponsored
|
||||
proposal pass threshold update described above);
|
||||
- publish detailed wallet maps, runbooks, or security procedures; or
|
||||
- authorize anyone to speak for or bind the Company outside the narrow
|
||||
roles set in the Company Agreement and future Resolutions.
|
||||
|
||||
Those future steps can only happen through later proposals (including
|
||||
DP-00002 and DP-00003) and must stay within the Company Agreement and
|
||||
applicable law.
