# DAO Governance Daily - 2026-10-07

**Governance digest — 2026-10-07**

**Takeaway: nothing is live anywhere. All 32 DAOs report zero active and zero pending proposals — the first fully empty tape this cycle. The day's signal is entirely in what just closed: Balancer rejected its own rescue fork while approving the winddown that dissolves it, and SafeDAO ratified a token-utility mandate on two wallets' say-so.**

- **Balancer — winddown passed, fork failed, execution done on six ballots.** [BIP-928](https://snapshot.org/#/balancer.eth/proposal/0xeae4f8bab6f2fbfe22cfeae51ec336ef238c82e6e0017ee511ee67995235d53d) passed 2026-09-29 with "tetuBAL at 50%" (12.18M BAL) over "tetuBAL at 100%" (4.91M) — the DAO chose dissolution and chose to mark the tetuBAL locker's BAL at half value in the distribution. [BIP-929 Fork and Reincarnate](https://snapshot.org/#/balancer.eth/proposal/0x25ee897681ae8bbae5ae224b14ad6a03ea6920f768d52b2e9aa1a85b7eec0590) then failed: 12.11M "No" vs 5.21M "Yes." The execution votes, [BIP-930](https://snapshot.org/#/balancer.eth/proposal/0x62d9add4f2184153aba3d2d44c9e9d44d90db76676f8335eb7f8ffb7d52d98e5) (exploit-fund recovery) and [BIP-931](https://snapshot.org/#/balancer.eth/proposal/0x226fb6694d559008975f64474f34620ffa33173c8afb97d8a6985243bf474a9e) (CoWSwap swap), closed 2026-10-06 18:00 UTC at 6.33M BAL each, all Yes, on **six ballots** — top two wallets 73%, top three 91%. The existential decision drew 42–51 voters; executing it drew six.

- **SafeDAO — SEP 56 passed 30–0 on two wallets.** [SEP 56 Safenet Aegis](https://snapshot.org/#/safe.eth/proposal/0x9d226d025170ec4c56adc53dd77dda851da75c712757122c70dea965003278c4) closed 2026-10-06 08:20 UTC: 29.41M SAFE "Accept," quorum 10M, zero Abstain/No. 0xdE4a…6846 (11.34M) + 0x7CC8…6602 (10.69M) are 75%; the top three 83%. It funds the security layer meant to give SAFE utility beyond custody, following SEP 55 (Safenet Beta) and the SEP 54 spending pause. Unanimity from a base that structurally cannot outvote two institutional addresses.

- **Decentraland — a one-wallet accountability bundle closed.** [Return the money in DAO Committee Multisigs to the DAO Treasury](https://snapshot.org/#/snapshot.dcl.eth/proposal/0x6c0cca3df81ad520f8be50a0a65d5934e1e829a01c66fc4fa5ee4d91abe516af) passed 2026-10-03 (2.02M MANA; top voter 0x9DAb…b6c1 at 858K Yes). It caps a week of motions — Names freeze, Names migration/recovery, two X-account grabs — all authored by 0xBB7B…E9C6. The committee multisigs, the names registry, and the DAO's public voice were each contested through a single wallet, not the token-holder base.

- **Closed-record precedents worth watching (none live).** Arbitrum ratified Security Council election-process improvements (980 ballots, 204.1M ARB); 1inch stood up a DAO Security Council with a treasury-multisig rotation (1IP-106); Lido ran comprehensive expense optimization with NEST/stETH buyback reparametrization; Uniswap expanded protocol fees to Arc alongside a Sentinel-address rotation; Morpho added Spearbit as a multisig signer with threshold raised to 6.

Terminal page updated — Today's Lead rewritten, new Active Proposals section added (none live), Token Rights Index and Delegate Watch retained.
