Now that we are entering Phase Two and the DAO might get new revenue streams, it is worth imagining what we could do with these funds. Since this is DAO-owned capital, its best to us it to strengthen our community and broaden the amount of people that rely on Pyth. Im not creating a proposal here, more of a collective wishlist to get us talking.
What if we used revenues to boost community growth? We could fund onboarding programs, regional meetups, hackathons, and education initiatives that bring more people into the ecosystem. Maybe even having a global network of Pyth community hubs, each to teach, build, and advocate for decentralized data. This would create deeper participation and new entry points for anyone curious about the protocol.
On the customer side, what if we removed barriers by subsidizing integrations or piloting feeds for new industries? A DeFi project in LATAM or an institution experimenting with tokenized assets could try Pyth at reduced cost, supported by DAO funds? In return, every successful integration expands our footprint and proves the network’s value in new contexts, whether that’s DeFi, TradFi, or emerging real-world applications.
What if, channeling revenues into high-visibility campaigns that bring Pyth into cultural spaces? Sponsoring sports, esports, or tech events, funding thought leadership content, or launching creative marketing that makes Pyth a household name. Each of these directions would bring more users, more builders, and ultimately, more long-term customers for Pyth.
Dont forget, we can also introduce burn mechanics, prop up LPs, increase OIS Rewards for stakers over publishers…but those things are short sighted pumps, that jave no real long term gains..
