Summary: Disburse the equivalent of 100,000 EUR over 4 months (September to December) to Mithras Labs in order to maintain the Quest protocol and expand it to new markets.
Context:
Mithras Labs has been developing the Paladin Ecosystem (Paladin Lending, Boost / Pledge / Quest v1/v2, Warlord, Dullahan and Valkyrie) for three and a half years. Now that our company has been fully paid back, we can officially request becoming a Service Provider for Paladin.
Rationale:
Considering revenue stagnating this year, we are maintaining our efforts on dialing down expenses by another 25% in order to facilitate revenue sharing and helping Paladin grow back to a sensible valuation.
Our services as a Paladin Service Provider include:
- Expanding Quest markets;
- Maintaining Quest and Warlord;
- Preparing a brand update;
- Sun-setting Paladin Lending;
- Doing Quest BD;
- Finalizing the governance update vote in PGM-XX;
- Managing community updates (Discord, Discourse and X);
The total cost to run this operation is 40% higher than our ask, but we are able to cover the spread thanks to the auto-voter earning a bit of revenue and a grant awarded us to build a Quest iteration to another protocol (the protocol and its fees will remain entirely controlled by Paladin).
For the thorough readers you might see we mentioned a protocol called Valkyrie, while it will be released for the Paladin ecosystem and all the fees will be earned by the DAO, its development is out of scope and is subject to a potential retro-active grant depending on how well its launch goes.
Means:
- 100,000 EUR
