The story concerns a monthly on-chain governance vote by SQUID DAO to allocate SQUID token rewards to contributors for work done in January, using a Snapshot proposal surfaced via the Leviathan News governance space. In SQUID DAO’s model, community members who hold or lock the SQUID governance token (and related LP positions) participate in Snapshot votes that determine how the DAO’s treasury and token emissions are distributed, including recurring contributor payments. The referenced proposal is one such vote, calling on SQUID holders and liquidity providers who have not yet voted to participate in the final hour of the January rewards decision. SQUID DAO operates as a crypto‑native investment DAO whose core objective is to grow a treasury of mainly Ethereum and other crypto assets, with value flowing back to SQUID token holders and SQUID NFT holders. Governance is exercised by those who either lock SQUID into veSQUID (vote‑escrowed SQUID) or own SQUID NFTs, and voting is executed off‑chain via Snapshot with on‑chain verification of voting power. Monthly budgeting and contributor‑rewards votes are a key part of Leviathan News’ and the broader SQUID DAO ecosystem’s operations, since they determine ongoing funding for media, research, and other DAO initiatives. The final‑hour reminder for January rewards underscores how participation and turnout in such Snapshot votes directly shape compensation, influence contributor incentives, and signal the level of active engagement in SQUID DAO’s governance.
