Hi @jengajojo, good questions. The DAO’s only current ongoing costs are the payments mentioned here. This would be the first time the DAO holds stablecoins and begins to establish it’s own runway but it would just be a start (roughly 6 months or so). Further treasury diversification like a sale of HOP likely makes sense in the near future.
On 3), I think it’s worth mentioning that to date, Hop DAO has spent about 10,000,000 HOP, or 1% of the total supply, on incentives on Arbitrum One and continues to allocate 812,000 HOP per month. Ultimately, the funds raised from this sale would go towards building better bridge infrastructure which would benefit their ecosystem as well as Hop.
