Unlocking Transparency: Introducing the Shutter Explorer

We are excited to introduce the Shutter Explorer, a public interface created to provide insights into the Shutter protocol's operations. This new tool enables users, validators, and developers to access essential data, such as validator activity, transaction lifecycle tracking, and real-time protection against Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) attacks and (real-time) censorship.

Introducing NanoShutter: Shutter for Hackathons

Are you ready to bring cryptographic fairness to your hackathon projects? Introducing NanoShutter, a simplified version of Shutter designed specifically for hackathons. NanoShutter makes it easy for developers to integrate cryptographic features into their projects, offering a playful yet powerful introduction to threshold encryption, commit-reveal schemes and information symmetry.

In this blog post, we'll explore what NanoShutter is, how it works, and how you can use it to build exciting projects like our Shutterized Rock Paper Scissors game.

Olas x Isotropic x Shutter: Using Autonomous Agents to Give Blueprint for Fairness on EVM Chains

In July 2024, the Shutter integrated its groundbreaking threshold encryption technology known as Shielded Trading into the Gnosis Chain mempool, bringing front running prevention and censorship resistance to the chain. Today, we're excited to announce an integration between OlasIsotropic Solutions, and Shutter to conduct AI-driven experiments using autonomous agents on Shutter's encrypted mempool on Gnosis Chain. Isotropic Solutions was selected through a community-driven decision, with members of the Shutter DAO 0x36 voting on Snapshot to approve the proposal to build Olas agents.

Shutter DAO 0x36 Proposals and Discussions

The following are proposals and discussions shared on the Shutter Forum, specifically intended for the members of Shutter DAO 0x36. These topics are open for review and debate, encouraging members to engage and provide their insights and feedback.

[Temp Check] Introducing Voting Cycles
Summary Introduce standardised voting cycles to streamline governance and strategically focus voter attention to increase voter participation. Motivation ShutterDAO is currently evolving its governance structure to be more adaptable and community-driven. Adopting a standardised proposal-making model will provide a structured, predictable process that balances ecosystem growth with governance improvements. By separating the various facets of proposal creation, feedback and consensus-making, the…
Brainbot Update for September 2024
Purpose brainbot is sharing this update regarding the grant of $233K from Shutter DAO 0x36 received on 19 September 2024. It covers use of funds, activities and accomplishments in September 2024. Highlights brainbot made significant progress on core protocol development, research and analytics - all of which set the stage for several important launches in October and a new whitepaper publication in November. A few highlights: Shielded Trading on Gnosis Chain: Fixed stability issues and devel…
DAO Fund: Leveraging Yelay Vaults for Sustainable Growth and Treasury Management
Context In agreement with @franklivid and @5pencediscussion on optimizing the use of Shutter DAO 0x36’s non-SHU assets. Merely holding USDC presents a missed opportunity, with this I would like to propose an alternative that aligns with the long-term goals of Shutter DAO 0x36. Opportunity Shutter DAO 0x36 has the potential to optimize its USDC holdings by establishing a Shutter Ecosystem Fund through a Yelay (formerly Spool) vault, which can generate ongoing yield and create sustainable suppo…
Boosting Shutter DAO 0x36’s Treasury Management and Ecosystem Growth with Glo Dollar
Context This proposal is inspired by Continued Discussion Regarding Treasury Management. Summary Shutter DAO 0x36 has the opportunity to optimize its treasury and drive ecosystem growth by creating a Shutter Ecosystem Fund and then funding it with profit earned by Glo Dollar. If Shutter DAO 0x36 holds $1M or more USDGLO, it would earn up to $40,000 per year for the newly created Shutter Ecosystem Fund. Furthermore, if other Shutter supporters and community members hold additional USDGLO, then…
Proposal to Launch the First Keyper Set for Shutter DAO 0x36
The Shutter DAO 0x36’s core purpose is to select and manage the Keyper Set. There is already a selected Keyper set on-chain, however, there are many new applications that need to be evaluated. In addition, the previous Keypers still need to be confirmed by the 0x36 DAO. With the staking contracts completed, it is now time for the DAO to confirm the previous Keyper set, and for the DAO to evaluate all new applications so that 0x36 can formally codify the Shutter Keyper set onchain. Shutter DAO…
[RFC] Trial run a Recognised Delegate Program to improve governance participation
Summary This proposal suggests implementing a six-month trial for a Recognised Delegates Programme(RDP) within Shutter DAO. The aim is to increase governance participation by attracting and compensating skilled delegates who can support the long-term sustainability of Shutter DAO. Motivation Out of the 207M+ circulating SHU tokens, governance participation remains low, with fewer than 40M tokens consistently involved in decision-making. Despite holding significant voting power, many top delegat…
Proposal to Sponsor Privacy-Centric Events at Devcon
Background: Privacy Guardians and Web3Privacy Now are requesting a grant from ShutterDAO 0x36 to sponsor two major privacy-focused events during Devcon in Bangkok (Thailand): Shielding Summit by Privacy Guardians: DeCC X Shielding Summit · Luma Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress by Web3Privacy Now: Ethereum Cypherpunk Congress by W3PN @ Devcon 7 · Luma These events will gather thought leaders, builders, devs, cryptographers, engineers and advocates in the privacy space, providing an excellent platf…
ShutterDAO Season Schedule
Summary Here is the calendar timeline of seasons till the end of 2025 for the DAO to follow. It should be noted that since this is a social change it is difficult to enforce 100%. We recommend having a governance facilitator who can steward these governance structures in the DAO. Calendar Public Governance Calendar: Click here to add it to your Google calendar Season Sprint Duration Week number 1 Draft Creation and Feedback Phase 28.10.2024 - 27.10.2024 44 RFC Formalization 4.11.2…
