Atom Accelerator DAO (AADAO) 將關閉營運並將剩餘資金返還至 Cosmos Hub 社群池

AADAO 貢獻者一致拒絕了今年的績效獎金，並向社區池返還 88,056 個 ATOM 代幣（約 817,159 美元）。

Atom Accelerator (AADAO), a governance-mandated DAO of the Cosmos Hub, will close its operations and return remaining funds to the Cosmos Hub Community Pool.

Atom Accelerator (AADAO) 是 Cosmos Hub 的治理授權 DAO，將關閉其營運並將剩餘資金返還給 Cosmos Hub 社區池。

AADAO contributors have also unanimously declined their Performance Bonuses for the year, returning 88,056 ATOM tokens (approximately $817,159) to the Community Pool. The returned funds represent the entire remaining balance of the Performance and Retention Pool initially allocated through Cosmos Hub Proposal 865 to fund AADAO’s second term. By foregoing over $817K in bonuses, the contributors continue to prioritize the fair management of shared resources.

AADAO 貢獻者也一致拒絕了今年的績效獎金，並向社區池返還 88,056 個 ATOM 代幣（約 817,159 美元）。返還的資金代表最初透過 Cosmos Hub 提案 865 分配用於資助 AADAO 第二任期的績效和保留池的全部剩餘餘額。透過放棄超過 81.7 萬美元的獎金，貢獻者繼續優先考慮共享資源的公平管理。

AADAO will enter ‘Maintenance Mode’, where the DAO will cease processing new grant applications, focusing on completing existing grant obligations. A crew of 3-4 contributors will remain on reduced payroll to manage outstanding grants, ensuring a responsible wind-down process. By December 31, 2024, all funding applications will have been processed, providing clarity on AADAO’s remaining obligations.

AADAO 將進入“維護模式”，其中 DAO 將停止處理新的補助申請，專注於完成現有的補助義務。由 3-4 名貢獻者組成的團隊將繼續減少工資，以管理未償還的贈款，確保負責任的逐步結束過程。到 2024 年 12 月 31 日，所有資金申請都將得到處理，從而明確 AADAO 的剩餘義務。

During its time, AADAO has also executed on six venture investments on behalf of the Cosmos Hub, with a further seven investments set to be executed in the coming weeks. A trustee has been instructed by the DAO to safeguard these investments till 2028, by which time it is expected that all investments will have a token sent to the ATOM Community Pool. AADAO’s venture portfolio includes Elys Network, Drop Protocol, Sphinx, Plaza Finance and Union Labs. This portfolio includes 1.1M in assets, with a further 750k in venture investments pending. It is expected that once these projects TGE, the ATOM Community Pool will receive tokens from these projects, well exceeding the 1.85M the Cosmos Hub invested.

在此期間，AADAO 也代表 Cosmos Hub 執行了六項風險投資，另外七項投資將在未來幾週內執行。 DAO 已指示受託人在 2028 年之前保護這些投資，預計屆時所有投資都將有一個代幣發送到 ATOM 社區池。 AADAO 的創投組合包括 Elys Network、Drop Protocol、Sphinx、Plaza Finance 和 Union Labs。該投資組合包括 110 萬項資產，還有 75 萬項待定風險投資。在預計這些專案完成 TGE 後，ATOM 社群池將從這些專案中獲得代幣，遠遠超過 Cosmos Hub 投資的 185 萬枚。

The decision to sunset follows extensive internal deliberations and reflects the assessment that AADAO, under its current structure, faces significant constraints in delivering value to the Cosmos Hub. Nonetheless, the DAO achieved numerous milestones during its operation—securing critical infrastructure, supporting testnet programs, and promoting ATOM utility across various platforms, most notably in NFT-fi.

關閉的決定是經過廣泛的內部審議後做出的，反映了 AADAO 在其當前結構下在向 Cosmos Hub 提供價值方面面臨重大限制的評估。儘管如此，DAO 在其營運過程中實現了許多里程碑——保護關鍵基礎設施、支援測試網計劃以及在各種平台上推廣 ATOM 實用程序，尤其是在 NFT-fi 中。

“This decision was not made lightly,” the AADAO contributors stated. “We poured our hearts into delivering value for the Cosmos Hub. However, after assessing whether the DAO could still provide meaningful contributions, we concluded that stepping back was the responsible course of action.”

「這個決定並不是輕易做出的，」AADAO 貢獻者表示。 「我們全心全意為 Cosmos Hub 創造價值。然而，在評估 DAO 是否仍然可以提供有意義的貢獻後，我們得出的結論是，退出是負責任的行動方針。

In addition to the 817k of performance bonuses being sent back, AADAO will be returning nearly 2M from its treasury to the ATOM Community Pool in the coming week. Some funds are being held back to cover the anticipated Maintenance Mode expenses, approved grants with unfinished milestones, and a small contingency for unforeseen costs. At the conclusion of Maintenance Mode, any remaining funds will be returned to the Community Pool, including amounts allocated to grants that do not meet their milestones.

除了退回的 817k 績效獎金之外，AADAO 還將在下週從其金庫中向 ATOM 社區池返還近 200 萬美元。一些資金被保留以支付預期的維護模式費用、未完成里程碑的批准撥款以及不可預見成本的小額應急費用。維護模式結束時，任何剩餘資金將退還至社區池，包括分配給未達到其里程碑的補助金的金額。

Furthermore, AADAO made changes to its compensation framework prior to entering Maintenance Mode. Contributors will cease to receive ATOM token-based retention compensation. The Oversight Committee will continue its duties during Maintenance Mode, and contributors will remain available to assist with governance-related tasks without compensation.

此外，AADAO 在進入維護模式之前對其薪酬框架進行了更改。貢獻者將停止獲得基於 ATOM 代幣的保留補償。監督委員會將在維護模式期間繼續履行職責，貢獻者將繼續協助治理相關任務，而無需補償。
