# DAO Governance Daily - 2026-10-14

Both vault writes are verified on disk. The digest below is the Discord deliverable.

**DAO Governance Digest — 2026-10-14 · Nothing new opened anywhere; Balancer's wind-down finished overnight on nine wallets**

 **Balancer's dissolution is complete, and the fork lost twice.** [BIP-932: Fork and Reincarnate Without a Grant](https://snapshot.org/#/balancer.eth/proposal/0x3239cd11b480478cf750458535ba6c432f7572e4cab796402e1478e01e41fdd2) closed 2026-10-13 18:00 UTC at 5.46M veBAL for, 570K abstain, zero against — nine ballots, with 0x9f74…D68e (2.51M) and 0xa9B3…eB7E (2.10M) casting 76% of all veBAL. [BIP-933](https://snapshot.org/#/balancer.eth/proposal/0x5a66f49d3aa02d9474e13acd1e6ac81d4a93398a8df0ec6b3adbe5170a74d3d8) closed the same hour unanimous at 5.18M. The sequence: the wind-down passed 2026-09-29 on 12.18M BAL, the counter-motion [BIP-929](https://snapshot.org/#/balancer.eth/proposal/0x25ee897681ae8bbae5ae224b14ad6a03ea6920f768d52b2e9aa1a85b7eec0590) lost the same day 12.11M to 5.21M, and BIP-932 is that defeated faction re-filed with the grant stripped out. What 51 voters rejected in September, 9 passed in October.

 **Gitcoin's quorum cut is two days out, and one wallet is 99.1% of the for side.** [Update Snapshot Quorum from 2.5M to 1.5M GTC](https://snapshot.org/#/gitcoindao.eth/proposal/0x8cc9d91c1ac903ab8a8676ca8b93f5623175ca6aa5297780073e09a270a66f70) closes 2026-10-16 03:40 UTC: 314 ballots, 2.717M GTC for, 31.3 against. Wallet 0x00De…5Fc3 holds 2,693,109 — and authored both this motion and the Governor upgrade that closed 2026-09-16. Cutting the bar from 2.5M to 1.5M changes nothing today; it lowers how much voting power any future proposer must assemble.

 **Decentraland rejected its names crisis and passed its treasury recall.** One wallet, 0xBB7B…E9C6, filed five motions in nine days. The [names freeze](https://snapshot.org/#/snapshot.dcl.eth/proposal/0x9625a84a8d18f3ba1de73d639795e6be9b4f44b556b6995fa026238ff6ddb85e) (2.44M against to 1.18M for), the [migration plan](https://snapshot.org/#/snapshot.dcl.eth/proposal/0xe9d3e98934ea05a26d1b379339b1409948719910fe99d41b4603fc9e6ea85a10) and the X-account grab all failed. [Return committee-multisig funds to the DAO treasury](https://snapshot.org/#/snapshot.dcl.eth/proposal/0x6c0cca3df81ad520f8be50a0a65d5934e1e829a01c66fc4fa5ee4d91abe516af) passed 1.62M to 397K. Three wallets voted No on every names motion; turnout across all five was 7–13 ballots.

 **The closed tape keeps re-papering token rights on shrinking turnout.** Uniswap's [Arc fee expansion](https://snapshot.org/#/uniswapgovernance.eth/proposal/0xe1ac3254ff43d5d780fc6ae1f13a0c027c2ef138fadb316198d3ed814a154b7e) and [Sentinel rotation](https://snapshot.org/#/uniswapgovernance.eth/proposal/0xa11332c5c326f34fd4d252853378f0041c4baf6a92094a2dbe91ac5c6ad855d9) — unanimous, top three wallets at 79% and 87%. 1inch [stood up a Security Council](https://snapshot.org/#/1inch.eth/proposal/0xb4c8c69b55a442948a7d66b42ac418ae22cad057fee7fbcb0c27a8768bfd3541) on 26 ballots, four wallets at 95%. Lido's [expense restructuring](https://snapshot.org/#/lido-snapshot.eth/proposal/0x517a6972a1b5ac20b4237b83a794f1ec4230ebe2cd35c293d6c03dafee40980f) was **rejected** 29.35M to 1,255. SafeDAO's [SEP 56](https://snapshot.org/#/safe.eth/proposal/0x9d226d025170ec4c56adc53dd77dda851da75c712757122c70dea965003278c4) closed 30–0 with two wallets at 75%. Sushi's [tokenomics restructure](https://snapshot.org/#/sushigov.eth/proposal/0x2e6df9d02d40e05e9dede6ad50bac47a3e8e7cd3604f4caa63b3995eea7384b0) passed on five ballots, one at 99.7% of the weight. Arbitrum's [Watchdog bans](https://snapshot.org/#/arbitrumfoundation.eth/proposal/0xddcea6a783aaabce1d616508999078e45ca95932b2b536c0620a9f5e57fa1899) are the outlier: 1,003 ballots, top wallet still 19.9%.

Limits: we read final state and voter lists from Snapshot's API. A passing vote here means the tally cleared, not that the action executed. Centrifuge's OpenSquare lane is dormant — newest vote is [CP162](https://voting.opensquare.io/proposal/centrifuge/QmUPKRLpJmxye1WapdarcVTRLKNP82358XymBvVvJ7bazs), closed 2025-09-18.
