Did you feel the voting process in Season 1 was clear, fair, and accessible to all stakeholders? What changes would help increase participation and transparency in the next round?

Nobody is complaining so far so it was quite fair

No, it’s not fair because we have no community thanks to DAO and noone even left to complain. As long term lisk holder I rate everything what DAO did so far as total disaster. All lisk holders know how much money they lost. There are no signs of any token price recovery so the main thing I demand from DAO season 2 is detailed plan on how to at least stop this project from loosing positions in market cap and stop reaching new lsk/btc all time lows. I know it may have little to do with DAO season 2 but it is all about no community issue that need to be fixed in first place. It is enormously more important than DAO season 2 voting.

No complaints =/= fair

I completely understand the frustration expressed here—many long-term Lisk holders have felt the weight of both declining token value and diminishing community engagement. You’re right to highlight that a shrinking and disengaged community undermines any DAO effort, regardless of structure.
That said, while I share the concern, I believe calling everything the DAO has done so far a “total disaster” may overlook some of the foundational efforts that were necessary to build governance capacity. Season 1 wasn’t perfect, but it did surface real challenges and exposed gaps in participation and communication.
You make a strong point that the DAO should address the broader issues, not just voting mechanics.
Perhaps Season 2’s mandate would explicitly include those broader initiatives.
This is why discussions like this are important, in order to make such corrections in the Season 2

I think Season 1 was quite fair.
Most of the projects were either built by long standing developers from the community or had some real value proposition in line with season 1 goals.

How do you think this works? You bootstrap projects and overnight token pumps. i dont think so.
I keep saying it, Projects must spend, you cant avoid it.
Token price appreciation does not come from not spending… It comes from spending on the right initiatives and right projects.
Focus should be on token scarcity, minimise $LSK liquidation by vesting and support projects that have the ability to drive user adoption.
The DAO has been frugal and meticulous so far, and thats a good start

Season 1 was as well managed. The DAO tried not to over spend, while making sure to pick all the best projects. some very good projects (In my opinion at least) were selected, and some others were not, but thats how it works. SEASON 2 will build on the lessons and strategies of season 1

Do you know when the first grant payment from Lisk DAO season 1 was made?
I do, it was early this month. May 2025. grants were announced in stages and payments were made in batches. None of the grant recipients have received up to to 50% of the funds
So this chart has nothing to do with with DAO season 1.
However, I’m not saying all this to dispute the fact that token prices have taken a hit. I’m saying that the DAO is working to fix it, not make it worse.
For token prices to rise, you need investors, and to keep investors coming, you need quick products to attract them - eg pump.fun for solana. That is the angle of DAO season 1.
Not just any type of projects, but projects that drive growth and boost TVL.
You gotta start somewhere bro

I understand that all this requires time but it won’t change the fact that during and after DAO season 1 lisk is reaching new all time lows. Sorry but I’m not here in Lisk from 2017 to listen that you are trying to start this project from beginning. Lisk had 9 years for growth and failed miserably.
Bro let go of token prices for a second. I know it’s a weird ask but walk with me for a second.
You cant turn things around overnight. It needs to be organic - shouldn’t take forever - but you need a strong line up of projects, juicy opportunities for users, and a system that points all benefits to LSK holders for prices to sustainably appreciate.
Without the above, any significant pump will be followed by a whirl wind of holders dumping - The $lsk/usdt chart proves this.
I’m not here to tell you “SOON”, I’m also tired of waiting. All I’m saying is that when you see thing being done right at least don’t try to tear it all down immediately.
If we successfully reinvent Lisk as the Defi chain on Ethereum, inflow will easily outpace outflow and prices will pump again.
“We” because I have since started engaging the DAO council and Lisk team, suggesting improvements and giving feedback.
I think you should do same too. The DAO is managed by reps from across the Superchain ecosystem @SuperchainEco so it’s goes way beyond the lisk team.
I genuinely believe there is so much we can do here

The major difference between us is that you think it is still not too late whereas I think it is too late. Taking into consideration dynamics and how other new projects perform I see no future for lisk, I’m waiting for dead cat bounce to quit it for good. Lisk should be way bigger than optimism and optimism should be built on lisk but instead lisk shrinked and became shadow of itself from the past and new projects like optimism took over - for me this are facts definite and finished that cannot be reversed. Of course optimism, arbitrum, polygon and others can fail still but then lisk will die first. We can’t even hold being in top 500 position - for me it’s too much. Any freshly created project have much bigger opportunities than old fart lisk with hardly earned thoughout years bad reputation. No roadmap for 2025, even project leader Max Kordek removed himself from the site lisk.com preventively so as not to be accused of fraud. Noone in their right mind would want to join something like this.

It’s not just about complaining brother, as we all know the reason for voting is for the community to come to an agreement you can’t say it isn’t fair because the votes did’nt go the way you wanted…
You might be against it but it’s what those who voted wanted and we all know MAJORITY CARRIES THE VOTE

I absolutely agree, Season 1 laid important groundwork, and it’s encouraging to see thoughtful reflection guiding Season 2. Building on past lessons is key to strengthening our DAO’s governance and impact.

Lol… IT’S NOT LATE
I’d argue it’s perfect timing.
You just have to let go of your emotions for a bit and look at all the work everyone is doing to keep the project up and running.
I know your bags took a hit, but it’s not just you bro, we all have bags here too. But we choose to do what it takes to get $LSK back to top 100 rather than spread FUD and instigate more dumps.
