Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader, and Happy New Year!

The window for our first-ever Seasonal Governance Cycle is now open, and we're looking for builders.

As we shift from weekly ad-hoc voting to a strategic quarterly rhythm, we have allocated a dedicated budget to fund the most high-impact ideas in our ecosystem.

Submission deadline is January 15th. Maximum budget is 2.08 ETH ($6.6k) per project. Apply here: moondao.com/propose.

We will accept the top 50% of submitted projects, budget allowing. If you want to build with MoonDAO in early 2026, you must submit now. Once this window closes on January 15, the door for new funded projects will not reopen until Q2 in April.

How to Apply:

  1. Refine your Concept: Pressure test your idea, get feedback, and find your team in the #Ideation channel on Discord. Join the Discord​
  2. Submit Your Proposal: Formalize your plan and budget request in our governance portal. Submit Here​

Deadlines:

  • Submission Deadline: January 15, 2026
  • Town Hall Presentations: January 22, 2026

Demo Day & Final Reports

This Thursday, January 8th at 3pm Eastern, we'll be back to our normally scheduled weekly Town Hall with a special event showcasing what teams and projects have built and delivered during Q4 2025.

Tune in to get an idea of what has been happening, where progress is being made, and learn how you can shape the outcome for project team rewards by casting your vote toward the projects that had the biggest impact.

P.S. We'll also be discussing the upcoming Q1 funding cycle, how that works, and how to proceed, so be sure to tune in if you're interested in submitting a Q1 project proposal.
