Summary
No fee changes proposed for Q3 2026.
The DAO is currently voting on CO-PIP-122.V2: Douro Labs Acquisition of Express Relay. Until that vote concludes, proposing fee adjustments would be premature.
Context
In Q2, the Pythian Council and Douro Labs proposed an orderly wind-down of Express Relay based on economics and distribution challenges. That discussion evolved into a formal acquisition proposal, which is now in its second voting round.
The acquisition vote should conclude by the end of July.
What Happens Next
| Scenario | Action |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| CO-PIP-122.V2 passes | Express Relay transitions to Douro Labs. No DAO fee proposal needed. |
| CO-PIP-122.V2 fails | Pythian Council will submit a formal Q3 fee proposal in early August. |
Timeline
- Now – End of July: Await CO-PIP-122.V2 outcome
- August (if needed): Submit formal OP-PIP for Q3 fees
