GP7 draft governance measures open for feedback, covering liquidity provision, DeFi rewards and NFT rewards
Draft measures for Governance Period 7 are open for community review ahead of voting that begins on June 1. The proposals cover three areas: liquidity provision, DeFi rewards, and NFT rewards.
