Idea: Establish AMAs with DAO Strategic Reserve and Updates

Idea: Establish Regular AMAs With DAO Strategic Reserve Updates

I propose that the DAO introduces regular AMA (Ask Me Anything) sessions with pyth team members. These sessions would give community members a consistent space to ask deeper questions, better understand the team’s priorities, and stay aligned with the long-term vision.

Motivation

At the moment, most updates from the team such as revenue reports from Douro Labs are shared as written posts on the forum. While these updates are helpful, they are largely one-way communication and limit direct interaction.

AMAs would turn these updates into real conversations. They allow the community to ask follow-up questions, clarify uncertainties, and better understand the direction we are heading. Over time, this helps build trust, transparency, and a two-way connection between contributors, token holders, and the core team.

Proposal Details

  • Hold AMAs on a regular schedule (e.g. quarterly or bi-monthly).

  • Invite Mike and/or relevant core teammates depending on the topics.

  • Use the AMA as a companion to major updates (such as quarterly reports) together with the written summaries

  • Share a short recap afterward for those who cannot attend.

Benefits

  • Clearer understanding of team priorities and roadmap

  • Stronger long-term relationship between the team and the community

  • More engagement and excitement around upcoming milestones

  • Minimal additional time cost for the team compared to written updates alone

Conclusion

Regular AMAs would be a simple but meaningful improvement to how the DAO communicates. Turning periodic updates into open discussions helps keep the community informed, involved, and aligned with where the project is heading. I believe this would strengthen both transparency and participation over the long term.

This proposal does not require immediate changes to governance processes, only agreement to trial this format.

Great initiative! It bridges the gap between the written updates and the community. I’d love to participate and hear the team’s insights live

Thanks for your reply.
I think it is very important to maintain a two-way communication between the core team and the community. This is why we are here, in web3, as a DAO.

man, absolutely you are right on the spot, nothing beats human communication and interaction!
I guess that is the right tool to enhance even more the trust amongst the supporters/believers/stakers/investors and so on

I personally like the idea. I have always loved participating in AMAs with the Team - doesn’t matter the format and how much I can contribute as a Community member.

I love this idea @scp .

The community is always buzzing whenever we get to see the team speak at events. I could see this being very successful and further galvanizing the community.

Oh, that’s a great idea sir, well said and I support this.
Having to be able to contribute is a great initiative and community members will always be aware

Great idea @scp and I’m glad to see the positive reception from the community.

A few thoughts to build on this:

Precedent from other projects

Other protocols have been running similar community calls with good results:

These work well because they’re structured around ecosystem updates rather than purely financial metrics — keeping the focus on product development, governance activity, and community initiatives.

Suggested structure

A monthly call could include:

  • Pyth Pro off-chain distributors (i.e. Douro Labs)— Pyth Pro advancements (business & tech), high-level strategy

  • Pythian Council — Recent OP-PIPs, PYTH reserves update, fee implementation progress

  • Price Feed Council — High-level recap of listings, publisher changes

  • Community Council — Initiatives, campaigns, community highlights

  • Open Q&A — Questions from attendees

Logistics

  • Cadence: Monthly, mid-month

  • Platform: Pyth Community Discord (voice channel or stage)

  • Timezone: Somewhere around midday EU / 8am+ EST to give US, EU, and Asia reasonable access

  • Recaps: Published summary after each call for those who can’t attend live

I’d suggest the Community Council leads the operations here — scheduling, hosting, writing recaps, etc. They’re already the natural bridge between the Pyth DAO (’elected contributors’) and the broader community, so this fits squarely in their wheelhouse. Plus, several CC members have already voiced support in this thread (@Planck @N0name_trader @lowkeigh ) which suggests appetite to make it happen.

Dear @KemarTiti ,

Thanks for your response. I’d really love to see more interaction between the Douro Labs team, Pyth Data Association and the Pyth community. As loyal supporters, we’re genuinely interested in anything related to Pyth.

Will the monthly AMA be held on X or on Discord? And when can we expect it to start?
Let me know anything I can help. ^^

From SCP with Love

Good call @KemarTiti, I agree that this is definitely something the CC could take a lead on. Will mention this at our next catch up.

Thanks mate.

this that we need on discord, Regular AMAs with DAO strategic reserve

Didn’t Wormhole attempt this in the beginning of 2025? They had little turn out, but I think we have a much stronger Community Team which would definitely create more involvement.

I liked that they recorded the videos of the meeting. I think have summeries are good for the Community at Large and potential PR for Pyth pre-community members.

@scp you’re killing here in the forum. Thanks for all the great ideas

I think they did indeed! But might have missed the stopping of these…

Anyway, while it would be great to a good live attendance, I do not think we should only measure the success of this idea/project just based on that.

Thinking, here are some metrics we should track/use to determine the success/value of these calls?

  • Live attendance (maybe even watch time a bit like youtube if this is remotely possible)
  • Number of call/video replays (1 week/1 month after)
  • Number of views/reads if calls are being transcribed and posted
  • Tokenholder ‘Pythiness’: I could envision some type of recurring surveys for community members/token holders. A growing ‘happiness’ score over time sounds like a worthy goal
