# Drift: Fund The Drift Working Group?
## Summary
Drift DAO approved funding for the Drift Working Group (DWG), a community-run initiative modeled after successful Solana ecosystem working groups. The proposal requested 50,000 DRIFT tokens to fund initial setup and 3 months of operation, with a monthly budget of 15,400 DRIFT for team compensation and 3,800 DRIFT for community initiatives.
## Market Data
- **Outcome:** Passed
- **Proposer:** proPaC9tVZEsmgDtNhx15e7nSpoojtPD3H9h4GqSqB2
- **Proposal Date:** 2025-02-13
- **Resolution Date:** 2025-02-16
- **Total Budget:** 50,000 DRIFT
- **Monthly Budget:** 15,400 DRIFT (team) + discretionary for initiatives
## Structure
- **Leadership:** Socrates (3+ years crypto marketing expertise)
- **Team Size:** Lead + 4 members initially
- **Compensation:** 5,000 DRIFT/month (lead), 2,600 DRIFT/month (members)
- **Governance:** 2/3 multisig (working group lead + 2 Drift team members)
- **Duration:** 3-month trial period
## Key Activities
- Content creation across multiple mediums (tweets, videos)
- Community activation through "Community Rituals" (live trading sessions, takeovers)
- Educational material development for new users and complex features
## Success Metrics
- Creation of new community initiatives
- Increased engagement on X (impressions, replies)
- Higher Discord participation
## Significance
This represents Drift's adoption of the working group model for community-driven growth, following patterns established elsewhere in the Solana ecosystem. The proposal includes performance tracking, weekly reporting requirements, and a commitment to return unused funds to the DAO.

## Competitive Position
- **Futarchy validation**: Drift using MetaDAO's governance system is the strongest external validation signal — a major protocol choosing futarchy over traditional token voting for real treasury decisions.
- **Future leverage threat**: Drift listing META perps would directly compete with OmniPair for leverage demand. This is OmniPair's identified "key vulnerability" — the moat is temporary.
