IMO the Balancer Maxis are the heart and soul of Balancer DAO. I believe the whole community appreciates your relentless work pushing Balancer forward.
Like I mentioned in Marketing’s proposal thread:
In a moment of uncertainty as we are currently, all SPs should strive to help the DAO extend its runway. The ask of extending the $30k per month ($10k per FTE) seems like a good balance to me.
The cost of each FTE is a bit higher than $10k for this proposal by the maxis (close to $12,500 per month on average considering BAL @ $3.10 and the 1.25 multiplier).
There is however some highly specialized work that usually requires 24/7 duty/responsibility being done by them. Also some of the comp is being taken in BAL locked for 1 year.
I think the veBAL holders and DAO members in general should speak up their minds but IMO this is a reasonable ask for what maxis deliver in value and I’m in favor of it.
