GRC
Much of our GRC work is confidential to protect the ecosystem. Below are highlights of the most important projects.
- Facilitated discussions on :
- Takeaways from governance process around Orb transition
- Threats to legal decentralization where entities/token holders have influence/control/manage operations of the ecosystem
- Understand and proactively protect against potential threats re: legal/regulatory risks:
- Reg strat meetings, research & advice: trade association, partner & defi education fund calls to vet GRC framework & discuss decentralization strategy. Ad hoc advice to marketing and business development resources.
- Ops Risks: Vendor, service provider, governance and human resources matters for wind down and contributor turnover, managing Ops risks and legal agreements with vendors etc. Facilitate risk mitigation for collections on legacy vendors.
- Promote Balancer’s further decentralization:
- Advice on transition and wind down plans and proposals re: DAO, foundation, OpCo etc.
