Dear Bankless Nation 🏴,

This week has been busy for BanklessDAO's guilds and departments as they prepare Season 10 funding proposals, and channel their efforts towards empowering people, both here at the DAO and across web3.

BanklessDAO has been a petri dish of DeSci culture (shout out KryptoShrimp L2!), so please mark your calendars for the Bankless DeSci conference scheduled for December 7. Another exciting offshoot grown out of BanklessDAO is Bankless Card, with plans to unveil its first DAO-branded card on December 8, 2023.

If you’re in the vicinity of Istanbul, you’ll want to check out some of the events happening in conjunction with Devconnect Istanbul this week. Bankless Publishing has media partnerships with three in particular: How To DAO, SheFi Summit, and d:pact. As a special offer for BanklessDAO newsletter readers, we are providing a 30% discount with code BANKLESS30 on tickets to the How To DAO event.

As we edge closer to the anticipated bull market we’ve noticed a rise in attempted scams, so wallet security remains a priority. The DAO’s Education Department is running a wallet security learning session this week — it’s a good time to check that out. Have a great week!

🗳 Temp Check: Adopting Delegated Voting

This proposal serves as a preliminary assessment to determine if BanklessDAO should embrace a delegated voting model. This model, an extension of consent-based decision-making, aims to facilitate wider involvement in the governance of the DAO. Hop on the Forum and drop your thoughts.

Funding the Commons, Regens Unite and Token Engineering Academy join as content partners, adding another layer of depth to the discussions.

🍏 Gitcoin Grants 19

Gitcoin Grants aims to foster innovation in the web3 space while aligning with the principles of decentralization and community empowerment. The broader vision for GG19 is to maintain the essence of Gitcoin Grants amid a shift towards a suite of decentralized products, ensuring the community ethos remains vibrant.

As usual, there is likely to be a strong showing from BanklessDAO in the Web3 Community and Education round. This round will run on the Public Goods Network.
