**DAO Governance Digest — 2026-09-04**

Takeaway: governance is quietly being repurposed from treasury allocator to dividend mechanism — four separate DAOs this week voted to convert discretionary revenue into holder claims.

 **Ethena fee switch passed — barely anyone voted.** The ENA Fee Switch closed Sep 2 with just 88 voters (~17.8M ENA) deciding whether ENA holders get a claim on protocol revenue. Key open question: does implementation hardcode the flow (a real token right) or leave it discretionary (a press release)? Same structural move as Curve's veCRV buyback and Maple's MIP-021.

 **Sushi's full tokenomics overhaul passed with 5 voters.** SUSHI Reserve, revised xSUSHI buybacks, and protocol-deployed liquidity on Robinhood Chain — ratified by five addresses moving 5.2M SUSHI, all authored by the same proposer. Delegate-collapse pattern in miniature: governance as rubber stamp on team policy.

 **Balancer Treasury Council churn mid-remediation.** Xeonus resigned, zekraken nominated (BIP-926), alongside revocation of unused V2 Vault permissions (BIP-927) and reruns on distributing rescued funds from the Nov 2025 v2 attacks. Signer turnover while rescue-fund multisigs are still active is exactly when operational knowledge walks out.

 **Parallel's OTC buyback is the only live vote — dominated by two addresses.** PGP-45: 100M PRL buyback-and-burn from Mimo Labs via OTC. 78.7M PRL (7.9% supply) voted, near-unanimously for, with the top voter and proposal author together holding 75% of cast VP. OTC execution concentrates price and counterparty discretion in the exact addresses approving it. Closes Sep 5.
