ACTION REQUIRED: Transitioning from TEMP to NOS Post-Raft Exploit and Refocusing on Nostra
Introduction
This proposal aims to guide the TEMP community through a significant strategic transition following the recent events surrounding the Raft project. This includes a shift in focus towards Nostra, adjustments in token allocation, and the discontinuation of TEMP in favor of NOS tokens.
Background
Raft, a key project under Tempus, unfortunately suffered a security breach, resulting in substantial financial losses. Despite robust security measures, including two comprehensive audits, the exploit led to a loss exceeding $7 million. We have processed refunds for affected parties, ensuring a recovery of nearly 50% for those impacted.
Given these challenges, the vision for Tempus as a product studio is now deprecated. The product development related to Raft will be postponed until an envisaged re-launch in 2024 with better market conditions. As things currently stand, the TEMP token serves no material purpose other than to receive NOS. As a result, we propose to take some further steps.
Details
-
Deprecation of TEMP: We propose to remove all TEMP liquidity and transfer all funds in the Tempus Treasury to the Nostra Treasury.
-
Revised NOS Allocation: We propose a revised NOS allocation scheme for TEMP holders. Instead of the previously voted upon 1 TEMP to 0.6 NOS ratio, legacy TEMP holders will receive NOS tokens on a 1:1 basis, subject to vesting. The team and investors will receive tokens on the same basis. The latest funding round for NOS was at $50m FDV earlier this year.
-
Launch and Vesting of NOS: NOS is slated to launch in Q1 2024. Legacy TEMP holders will receive locked NOS pre-launch. The vesting for NOS tokens will be determined by the team, aligning with the project’s long-term goals and market conditions. Important: The vesting period is currently envisaged at 2 years with a 6 month cliff. In any case, the vesting schedule for those allocated NOS under this proposal will be equally advantageous to the Nostra team and investors.
Discussion and Voting Process
-
Discussion Period: There will be a 7-day discussion period for the TEMP community to deliberate on this proposal, ask questions, and share insights. This period is crucial for ensuring community understanding and input.
-
Voting on Snapshot: Following the discussion period, voting will be conducted on Snapshot. This is an opportunity for TEMP holders to formally express their stance on the proposed strategic transition.
Action Items Post-Vote
-
Treasury Transfer: Upon the successful passing of this vote, Treasury-owned liquidity for TEMP will be removed, and the funds currently in the Tempus Treasury will be reallocated to the Nostra Treasury.
-
Snapshot: Subsequently, a snapshot of TEMP holders will be taken. This includes those who are staking TEMP or providing liquidity.
-
NOS Launch: Once Nostra is launched, instructions will be provided to legacy TEMP holders to claim their NOS from the NOS vesting contract.
-
Communication: Continuous updates and detailed instructions will be provided to the community throughout the implementation phase.
CONCLUSION
This proposal represents a pivotal moment for our community. The transition from TEMP to NOS, coupled with a focused effort on Nostra, aligns with our revised strategy post-Raft exploit. We believe this shift is critical for the long-term success and sustainability of our ecosystem. We encourage all TEMP holders to actively participate in the discussion and voting process. This thread will remain open for a period of 7 days, following which it will be moved to Snapshot vote.
