As we’ve discussed previously, our current income doesn’t fully cover our total expenses, with the development wallet bridging the shortfall. In past years, DAO income was sufficient to meet our operating costs. At our present burn rate, the development wallet gives us approximately 4 years of runway, though even a modest token price increase would extend this considerably. We’re also exploring additional revenue streams as mentioned in other discussions.

A large expense this year and, to be honest, most years were the Saturn 1 audits that were just over $500k. In a typical year we also pay out a number of bug bounty payments.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
