This is the first update & spending report as the DAO got its own funds as per GIP-10. Contributors on the list were approved and confirmed by GIP-14, see on forum.
Here is medium update with all the events & context around the work done:
DAO Monthly Update: July 2022

<aside>
💡 Insert your % of full-time work for the month of July. Column “FILL IN” is essentially the percentage % but as a multiplier, so that the sheet calculates the USD and the token outputs. So if it’s 100% = 1, while 60% = 0.6.

- The spending has also included costs [$240,000 while $120,000 only is released at this stage pending full audit report] **GIP-12** for a Consensys Diligence full audit of V2 contracts. The other audits (pending final reports by Sigma Prime and Chain Security) were pre-funded by ex-core remaining funds, and do not require DAO spending. tx/0x4de4828a4b4de74c2cb5fd6ec6caea39a5092c08f12ccb715d95bcd9112ccf0d
- The spending (or rather, pre-funding further spending) was issued by the main DAO into VIBES marketing metaDAO (pod/subDAO) committee, as per GIP-13. That was $50,000 USDC and 10,000,000 in GEAR. That spending should suffice for Q3 at minimum. tx/0x41bf0d6cdb3635c86f4fefee914a798b46ca0d2a30468a15b4c02f3fc39c88aa
- The spending also reflected some GEAR rewards for tech multisig signers, as per GIP-11 which set up the motion to reward signers every now and then, as it’s not an easy job.
