The MoonDAO community is deciding two important things:

  1. Which new projects get funded
  2. How rewards get split among completed projects

Vote 1: Project Proposals

10 proposals passed Senate Review. Only the top projects get approved and funded, so your vote decides who makes the cut.

  2. MDRS Crew Seat (2026–2027 Field Season)
  3. Study Project Investigating the Concept of Island Zero
  4. PULSE (now TOGO): Enabling Automated Medicine Delivery During IVA & EVA

  6. Mission Cosmic Colombia
  7. Digital Lunar Economy Simulation, Beta Version
  8. FUTURA: Rover Mission Control & Rover Prototype (Proof of Concept)

  10. Human Rated DAO Vacuum Chamber

Vote 2: Retroactive Rewards

7 projects completed their work last quarter, competing for 6,588,000 MOONEY + $5,629 USDC in retroactive rewards. You decide the split, based on their proof of work and impact.

  1. Rover Mission & Lunar City Simulator
  2. Lunar Development Cooperative Simulation Tabletop Game
  3. Sustain MoonDAO Growth with Laika
  4. LunARC Governance Design Workshop (Universidad NUR)
