Proposal description
Dash Core Group April 21st Funding Proposals
DCG is submitting only one funding proposal for the budget cycle that pays out April 21st:
1) DCG Operations: 5,196 Dash per month (currently in month 1/4)
What does this specific proposal fund?
This proposal funds Dash Core Group's ongoing operating costs - this includes compensation, legal and infrastructure costs. This is a single month proposal that will cover operating costs for May 2026 to August 2026.
What is the proposal funding?
As of early April 2026 DCG has 21 paid staff at full time/close to full time associated with the project. In addition, we have 2 volunteers who have decided to work for no compensation and one for very minimal compensation. The amount of developers we currently have is given below.
In November of 2024 we offered some long time contributors a Dash denominated compensation instead of the fiat based compensation. Many took this when the price of Dash was around 25$ even when taking at the same time a 10% reduction in the total compensation.
We estimate that our projected run-rate for April for compensation will be around 2250 Dash for Dash denominated compensation and $99000 for Fiat based compensation. Our infrastructure cost is at around $3,000 for April. We are also spending around 3k USD/month for AI tools and licenses. This puts our break even price at around 36$ / Dash.
With this current proposal, we are asking for total funding of the equivalent of $207,840 per month. This should allow us to grow our reserve which currently is close to 450k USD.
What does DCG's current structure look like?
DCG has evolved to primarily be a tech focused organization that can be grouped into 2 main parts, technology and technology support.

I will evaluate for a few more epochs, but if this continues i think i will go back to just Masternodes only setup. At least that way i know i can actually get the APY that i expect to get.
