SushiSwap’s head chef, Jared Gray, mentioned the continued controversy surrounding the protocol’s proposed transition to a Labs mannequin is primarily pushed by “former contributors who like to propagate endless FUD and misinformation.”
The controversial proposal
On March 26, a proposal titled Evolving Sushi—Burū no Shinka was submitted to enable Sushi to undertake a Labs mannequin to restructure its present group, improve operational effectivity, and speed up protocol growth.
The proposal identified that the protocol’s present governance procedures wanted extra flexibility to enhance its growth tempo. Consequently, it proposed Sushi Labs as an autonomous administrative, technical, and operational firm, or group of corporations, tasked with product growth and administration throughout the Sushi ecosystem.
Nevertheless, the proposal has generated heated remarks from some in the neighborhood due to a number of proposed modifications, together with making the Sushi Labs extra highly effective and limiting the DAO’s powers to decentralized on-chain governance, reminiscent of voting on token allocations.
Moreover, the proposal will allocate 25 million Sushi tokens and different funds to the Labs whereas making it the only beneficiary of future airdrops.
This transfer has been closely scrutinized, primarily as a result of the quantity in the treasury differs from what the proposal states. The treasury wallet seems to include 168 ETH, 13 million SUSHI, and 88,900 USDC. Nevertheless, the proposal talked about 1,228 ETH, 33.55 WBTC, and 1.574 million DAI, which aren’t in the treasury tackle.
Apparently, Naïm Boubziz, a former contributor to SushiSwap, alleged that the Sushi Labs staff is perhaps manipulating the voting by including liquidity to vote for themselves and eradicating the liquidity. He said:
“SushiSwap’s latest move is THE real hostile take over. They’ve introduced a new snapshot, sidelining the DAO and seizing the entire treasury without consulting the community.”
These dramas have led some neighborhood members to label the proposal “End of DAO.” Gray replied, stating,
“Labeling it as the “End of DAO” appears melodramatic when many view it as a wanted improve, lowering the friction and inefficiencies plaguing Sushi’s much less organized DAO mannequin in contrast to its contemporaries and the necessity to deploy a extra decentralized construction. Nonetheless, you’re entitled to your opinion, and sharing is inspired.”
SushiSwap staff response
In his response, Gray mentioned that efficiently implementing the Burū No Shinka will lead to a brand new period of streamlined governance for the Sushi DAO.
In accordance to him, the DAO will now not require a head chef figurehead, and his function will transition to main Sushi Labs’ product growth. He added:
“Sushi Labs’ goal is to foster the advent of a multi-product-and-token ecosystem, unlocking new opportunities for utility, governance, and value creation, which will remain under the control of the governance council structure, with increased on-chain and decentralized controls. We view this as a win-win for Sushi DAO.”
Gray additionally debunked claims that the staff was manipulating the votes, revealing {that a} whale bought a considerable quantity of the SUSHI token to disrupt each effort of progress by the Sushi staff.
