DAO Update #2: first proposal adopted, 44 votes cast
The first community proposal was adopted. The week in numbers: 327 pull requests merged, 44 votes cast, 591 members joined, and the next question.
DRIVE 369 DAO · 2 min read
The first community proposal was adopted this week. Proposal 370, in the Trust sphere, says that every points conversion, distribution and reward rate is published openly before it takes effect. It closed on November 14 with 4 For, 0 Against and 1 Abstain. A kernel proposal is a value the network's AI reads, not a binding rule or a payment; points are not tokens and nothing is guaranteed. This is the second weekly update; the first came out on November 6. Figures were read on November 14, 2026.
Numbers
| Metric | Now | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Members joined (anonymous tickets, total) | 591 | relay pulse |
| Joined on November 14 (UTC, until we read it) | 16 | relay pulse |
| Nodes online at the relay | 15 | relay pulse |
| Proposals in the kernel | 370 (369 founding, 1 community) | DAO |
| Votes cast on the kernel board (For, Against, Abstain, all proposals) | 44 | DAO |
| Pull requests merged, Nov 7 to Nov 14 | 327 | GitHub search of the maintainers' repository |
The relay counts are anonymous. A vote cast is one For, Against or Abstain on one proposal, so one wallet voting on ten proposals adds ten. Most founding proposals have no vote yet.
What it means
Voting is where the network decides what its AI stands for, and it is early: 44 votes cast in total, 39 of them on the 369 open proposals. The founding vote had 21 days left on November 14, so this is the moment for a first voice to count. Vote in five steps.
Community goal
We want to see 369 votes cast on the kernel board (all proposals, not distinct wallets) before the founding vote closes. This is a public counter, not a promise of anything: points are not tokens and nothing is guaranteed. The rules for the points programme are on the home page.
What we do not know yet
How many of the 591 members are active each week, how many voted from a mobile wallet, how many nodes have a proved storage deal, how many bug reports were accepted, and how many outside contributors have had a pull request merged. We will count them and publish the numbers in the next update, on Monday, November 16.
