Re: GOV FATIGUE & INCLUSION
There are 389 voting addresses on eUSD, yet only about 4 or 5 voting, mostly direct delegates from core team. This is 389 different talents and competencies that might potentially contribute, if asked, and if they felt their voice mattered.
Here is what it was a year ago, here it is today. TLDR: decreasing # of voices. Not the direction we aspire for, unless decentralization in the Reserve ecosystem has been deprioritized.
Its unfortunate, you haven’t noticed governance fatigue. Here are few excerpts from public channels:
Not to mention I get private DMs from the community unsolicited almost monthly on this. Its just become easier for people to bail out.
BIGGER ISSUE
The bigger issue is how eUSD brand building is progressing, since it was central to your original RToken Champion 3% revenue participation proposal.
eUSD TVL is trending down, and your own report shows awareness and outreach declining against the backdrop of a stablecoin boom. The strategy of securing fintech rev-share partners is strong, but it depends first on marketing visibility, and later BD outreach to close. Hundreds of new fintech apps and stablecoins launched in the past year, many of which might benefit from a two-year-old, battle-tested eUSD that already pays. The lowest-cost way to get into their initial consideration is probably something eye-catching on X, Reddit, or YouTube.
Leadership and direction are needed, though no one expects you to carry this alone. Doubling or tripling eUSD awareness would be meaningful even if no fintechs join the rev-share, and it would strengthen RSR and the wider Reserve ecosystem.
There are 389 voting addresses on eUSD with skin in the game, many ready to help if asked and included. A simple invitation could turn them into amplifiers of the eUSD value proposition. We’re hoping you’ll step forward, set the tone, and rally the group, while keeping your revenue participation intact and broadening the effort.
I imagine you too have finite time and cutting back governance administration to focus on eUSD awareness and growth measures are just one unnovel suggestion on how to do it.
As just one of the eUSD stakers, I’d gladly support more than 3% for the RToken Champion—if results justify it, and that accountability should cut both ways.
