LeXpunK Weekly Update
September 9, 2021
Summary
This is really our launch edition, we are building momentum with the week’s major steps forward:
(1) LeXpunK Forum LeXpunK forum is up and running on our site (lexpunk.army) with a set of explainers for all things LeXpunK:
DAO Explainers:
- Builder Defense DAO Overview – Mission, Ops and Governance Overview
- Staffing Process for Proposals – Guide to Applying to Work on DAO Projects
LeXpunK Army Community Guides:
- Guide to Our Working Groups – In addition to our Builder Defense DAO projects, we are always ideating and working on a number of public goods, the umbrella groups for these are described here
- Army Engagement Principles - Guide to Behaving Yourself in the Forums
(2) Work Product Proposals. We submitted our initial 6 month slate of proposals to the multisig holders and to the founding DAO forums. A copy of the proposal slate is up on our forum here and links to these proposals and any ensuing discussions at our founding communities are below - we hope everyone is excited about these, we are very jazzed to get started:
(3) Wen Tokens. We finalized numbers and teed up the first L3X airdrop to our community, stay tuned for airdrop news. ICYMI, L3X is the non-transferable reputational token of the LeXpunK army, given to trusted community members who evince the LeXpunK spirit. We expect to use L3X for future community-wide signalling polls. No lambos forthcoming.
