SafeDAO and Safe Ecosystem Foundation (SEF) are separate entities.

Safe Ecosystem Foundation (SEF)

  • The foundation's board has veto power.
• Personal liabilities
  • Board members have full personal liability.
  • Regular participating members have limited personal liability.

Future potential SafeDAO <> SEF relationship

• SafeDAO becomes a primary governance body of SEF
  • Potentially formed through a foundation committee composed of SafeDAO members.
  • Governance, e.g. Electing the board
  • Mandates
  • Budgets
  • Guidelines/processes
• Timeline: Can take 1-2 years
