Atom Accelerator DAO (AADAO) 将关闭运营并将剩余资金返还至 Cosmos Hub 社区池

AADAO 贡献者一致拒绝了今年的绩效奖金，向社区池返还 88,056 个 ATOM 代币（约 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 的治理授权 DAO，将关闭其运营并将剩余资金返还给 Cosmos Hub 社区池。

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 贡献者还一致拒绝了今年的绩效奖金，向社区池返还 88,056 个 ATOM 代币（约 817,159 美元）。返还的资金代表最初通过 Cosmos Hub 提案 865 分配用于资助 AADAO 第二任期的绩效和保留池的全部剩余余额。通过放弃超过 81.7 万美元的奖金，贡献者继续优先考虑共享资源的公平管理。

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 将进入“维护模式”，其中 DAO 将停止处理新的赠款申请，专注于完成现有的赠款义务。由 3-4 名贡献者组成的团队将继续减少工资，以管理未偿还的赠款，确保负责任的逐步结束过程。到 2024 年 12 月 31 日，所有资金申请都将得到处理，从而明确 AADAO 的剩余义务。

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.

在此期间，AADAO 还代表 Cosmos Hub 执行了六项风险投资，另外七项投资将在未来几周内执行。 DAO 已指示受托人在 2028 年之前保护这些投资，预计届时所有投资都将有一个代币发送到 ATOM 社区池。 AADAO 的风险投资组合包括 Elys Network、Drop Protocol、Sphinx、Plaza Finance 和 Union Labs。该投资组合包括 110 万项资产，还有 75 万项待定风险投资。预计这些项目完成 TGE 后，ATOM 社区池将从这些项目中获得代币，远远超过 Cosmos Hub 投资的 185 万枚。

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.

关闭的决定是经过广泛的内部审议后做出的，反映了 AADAO 在其当前结构下在向 Cosmos Hub 提供价值方面面临重大限制的评估。尽管如此，DAO 在其运营过程中实现了许多里程碑——保护关键基础设施、支持测试网计划以及在各种平台上推广 ATOM 实用程序，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.”

“这个决定并不是轻易做出的，”AADAO 贡献者表示。 “我们全心全意为 Cosmos Hub 创造价值。然而，在评估 DAO 是否仍然可以提供有意义的贡献后，我们得出的结论是，退出是负责任的行动方针。”

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 绩效奖金之外，AADAO 还将在下周从其金库中向 ATOM 社区池返还近 200 万美元。一些资金被保留以支付预期的维护模式费用、未完成里程碑的批准拨款以及不可预见成本的小额应急费用。维护模式结束时，任何剩余资金将退还至社区池，包括分配给未达到其里程碑的赠款的金额。

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 在进入维护模式之前对其薪酬框架进行了更改。贡献者将停止获得基于 ATOM 代币的保留补偿。监督委员会将在维护模式期间继续履行职责，贡献者将继续协助治理相关任务，而无需补偿。
