Unlock DAO Weekly Newsletter | January 7, 2025

Welcome to our first newsletter of 2025! We're hitting the ground running with exciting developments and community-driven initiatives. Let's dive into the key highlights from our recent DAO call.

ETH Denver is just around the corner, and Unlock DAO is preparing to make a significant impact. We're finalizing our presentation plans, exploring sponsorship opportunities, and coordinating community meetups. If you're planning to attend, keep an eye out for our upcoming announcements on how to connect with fellow Unlockers during the event.

Our commitment to decentralized governance continues to strengthen. We're currently voting on new role related membership NFT designs proposed by Leah, aimed at optimizing/ visualizing our organizational structure. Additionally, we're excited to announce that voting was concluded successfully for Ceci Sakura as our new Steward for Marketing & Communications. Your participation in these votes is crucial in shaping the future of Unlock DAO. Continuously check the Unlock DAO Snapshot and Tally voting platforms!

We're thrilled that the DAO is voting onchain for a two-month extension of incentives for liquidity providers on Uniswap through GAMMA. This partnership will provide enhanced incentives for our community members, further driving engagement and adoption of Unlock Protocol. We also have their consent on a co-marketing campaign. Stay tuned for more details on how you can benefit from these exciting opportunities.

Our "La Mudanza" event has concluded, marking a significant milestone in our journey. This initiative has paved the way for stronger connections within our community and set the stage for future growth. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all participants who made this event a resounding success. Congratulations to the raffle winner: Soho from the Happ3n community.

The Unlock DAO Advent Calendar 2024 was a hit! We saw unprecedented engagement levels, with community members unlocking daily surprises and participating in our end-of-year raffle. This initiative not only spread holiday cheer but also showcased the versatility of Unlock Protocol in creating engaging, time-based experiences. The raffle has not yet been concluded, stay tuned for updates.

Our focus on the Base ecosystem continues to grow. We aim to become more active as community members and developers in the Base ecosystem. Please help by sharing content from socials our developers and builders can interact with easily.

A new proposal for Ape Bonds is currently under discussion in our Sustainable Liquidity channel. This initiative could potentially revolutionize our approach to liquidity management. We encourage all community members to join the conversation and share their insights on this innovative concept. The first part of this proposal was just added to the Unlock DAO Snapshot platform. Please voice your opinion.

David, Manuel Elias and Wonderwomancode are spearheading efforts to expand Unlock Protocol's presence on various platforms. These listing initiatives are crucial for increasing our visibility and accessibility in the broader crypto ecosystem. We'll keep you updated on our progress and any new listings as they come to fruition.

Danny has developed a Governance Bot for Farcaster, aimed at improving our community engagement and information dissemination. This bot will provide real-time updates on governance proposals and voting, ensuring that our community stays informed and engaged with Unlock DAO's decision-making processes.

We're excited to announce the kickoff of our Spanish translation project for Unlock Protocol. This initiative is a crucial step in our mission to make Unlock accessible to a global audience. Ceci and Soho are spearheading the initiative. We're currently seeking community members fluent in Spanish to contribute to this effort. If you're interested in participating, please contact the DAO members mentioned above.

As we move forward in 2025, Unlock DAO continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in the world of decentralized access control. Our community's passion and dedication are the driving forces behind our success, and we're excited to see what we'll achieve together in the coming months.
