Proposal description
Dash Core Group August 21st Funding Proposals
DCG is submitting only one funding proposal for the budget cycle that pays out August 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 September 2025 to December 2025.
What is the proposal funding?
As of Mid August, 2025, DCG has 15 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 2 people who have decided to work at minimal compensation. The amount of developers we currently have is given below.
In November of last year 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. The offer that we gave people was for a 6 month period and we have since extended that once again.
We estimate that our projected run-rate for April for compensation will be around 2600 Dash for Dash denominated compensation and $43000 for Fiat based compensation. Our infrastructure cost is at around $3,000 for March. We are also spending around 3k USD/month for AI tools and licenses.
With this current proposal, we are asking for total funding of the equivalent of $111,714 per month. This is pretty close to our run rate.
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.
