Governance 🗳️

Many interesting things happened this month with our Governance efforts and initiatives.

To get started, we officially launched GASLESS MARCH — A month-long gas-free $PUSH vote delegation together with a Reward Drop Proposal for the Push Community. Make sure to take a look and delegate your voting power. Many great things are coming for Governance with the Push Grants Proposals and the Push Improvement Proposals.

Additionally, we launched our new and revamped Governance Website for the community to get all the latest updates. And to put the cherry on top, we launched our Official Push Governance Channel! Check it out and opt-in to get EPNS governance updates!

This month we are also super proud and excited as EPNS was featured as an important tool in the DAO Tooling Landscape by Idle Finance, and by ChainSafe as a foundational DAO tool. This validates to us that our efforts to make EPNS an essential tool for Governance are on the right track.

Before we go, no month will be complete without our beloved Rockstars of EPNS. Another month full of great submissions and participation.
