Abstract
Since the core game went be going offline on August 31, 2024, I believe that the subscription to pay for the usage of UniWu should be put to an end. I used to suggest a pause, but now since the game is closed and it will not resume in any form (not even the FOCG), it is time to close this. Thank you for your work on this project Venticello, it just doesn’t make sense to keep going when there is nothing more to do. This proposal is to take effect immediately after the snapshot is completed.
Motivation
The motivation to write this proposal is to reduce CU treasury expenditures to the bare minimum since the treasury does not have much more funds left. For the good of all the CU community, we need to reduce our treasury burn rate as much as possible to survive this next period. Right now we need to put the survival and interests of the community as a whole first. In the case we choose to liquidate the whole treasury in the future and distribute it to the community, we must preserve every penny. Additionally, with the core game being shut down, there will be no use for UniWu at the current time. Unlike the migration, where we still paid UniWu to keep the site up for a month without doing any work, this is an actual closure of the core game.
Details
End all payments for the usage of UniWu. This would mean the treasury will no longer pay 2 Eth per month to UniWu and the community will no longer have access to UniWu if this proposal is passed.
Conclusion
This proposal would reduce our monthly subscription to UniWu by 2 Eth (at current Eth price ~$5,200). Since the core gameplay is closed and there is no more games being developed, I believe that to preserve any funds in the treasury, we should end any running payments for the usage of UniWu for the time being. In the case the DAO wishes to distribute whatever is left from the treasury to the community, I think we must preserve every penny right now. It sucks Venti, but I hope you could understand.
