This proposal requests the STON.fi DAO to approve a capped operational budget allocation for the Ston Foundation for the 2026 budget period. The requested budget includes USD 2,500,000 in stablecoins and 4,000,000 STON tokens to cover essential operational expenses. These expenses encompass technical development, marketing, ecosystem engagement, core contributors, and administrative support for the STON.fi protocol. The Foundation will execute activities, manage contractors, and provide regular reports to the DAO, ensuring transparent and accountable use of funds for agreed development directions such as the AMM Protocol and Omniston infrastructure.
