Dear VitaDAO Community,
We're excited to share with you a recap of what was an incredibly busy summer and new opportunities that you'll soon have the opportunity to take part in.
Highlights
Funding Initiatives
- VitaRNA IPT Launch: Our community raised an impressive 300k for VitaRNA, marking our second successful IPT launch — a remarkable 10x increase from the previous IPT launch.
- TransFidelity Project: VitaDAO, in collaboration with CerebrumDAO and BeakerDAO, co-founded the TransFidelity project, contributing $50,000 to help the initiative reach its 76 ETH funding goal. This partnership aims to advance Alzheimer’s treatment by improving protein synthesis accuracy, marking a pivotal moment in on-chain science as multiple BioDAOs unite to tackle neurodegenerative diseases.
- Ab4AD IPT: VitaDAO has approved a proposal to allocate $50,000 for the development of a novel cardiovascular disease therapy at Tel Aviv University, further advancing its commitment to innovative longevity research.
- VitaDAO has been awarded 21 million BIO tokens through Bio Protocol's bio/acc rewards program. This significant allocation recognizes VitaDAO's pioneering contributions to the DeSci ecosystem and longevity research. As a key player in this ecosystem, VitaDAO is committed to contributing significantly to the progress of the broader DeSci and BIO ecosystem!
Ongoing Research Projects
- VitaRNA/ArtanBio Data Drop: Following the successful funding of the VITARNA IPT, we're excited to share the new data drop just released by ArtanBio.
New DAO Governance
- VitaDAO 2.0 Model Approved: We're very excited to announce the approval of the VitaDAO 2.0 model, marking a significant evolution in our organizational structure. This new model combines high-stake monitorship with high efficiency execution, enhancing our operational capacity and strategic alignment.
- Vitalism Organization Proposal: A proposal has been put forward to designate VitaDAO as a vitalism organization, aligning with our core values and mission.
Leadership Appointments
VitaDAO 2.0 is a new governance model that relies on Guardians, Pods (Executive Layer), and a membrane of VitaDAO contributors. This structure aims to balance mandate oversight by Guardians with autonomous execution by Pods and contributors, fostering a more agile and mission-aligned organization.
Pod leads have full accountability & autonomy for fast execution.
Guardians commit to providing audits on Pods and Pod Leads to the community to ensure alignment with VitaDAO’s mission & mandate, enhancing community’s ability to govern the DAO based on transparency and tangible KPIs.
- Genesis Guardians: We're pleased to announce the approval of our Genesis Guardians for VitaDAO 2.0: Alex Dobrin, Paul Haas, Laurence Ion, Vincent Weisser
- Pod Leads: Pod Leads will execute specific mandates within approved budgets, manage operations autonomously, and report bi-weekly to Guardians.
- Web3 Pod: Alex Dobrin& Alex Miloski
- Longevity Pod (Interim): Alex Miloski (4-month term)
