D2D Updates: A multiDAO initiative to Dogfood the Proposal Inverter Mechanism
Olympus-incubated Vesta Finance to Launch today using Prime Launch!
Vesta is conducting a treasury bootstrapping event (TBE) distributing 8% of all the $VSTA governance token via liquidity bootstrapping pool (LBP) on Prime Launch. Liquidity generated in this event will be owned by the community and directed to bolstering the adoption of Vesta’s stablecoin once it goes live through the acquisition of governance tokens, partnerships, and supporting Vesta’s growing team of core contributors.
Prime Launch is currently the only no-code launchpad that enables launching a token on the Arbitrum network. The optimistic rollup is now leading the L2 market with over US$2.64 billion locked in, according to L2 Beat.
We’re super excited that an essential utility in the DeFi space has chosen Prime for its important treasury bootstrapping event, and we’re even more excited to be working with our partners, OlympusDAO, on ensuring Vesta’s success.

DAO2DAO in action: Dogfooding the Proposal Inverter
A joint effort has been underway towards the development of the proposal inverter. Block Science, Longtail Financial, TEC, and PrimeDAO have all contributed resources and talent towards the spec and modeling of the PI. A development series was hosted in the TEC labs, which transformed into a workshop series hosted by PrimeDAO. LTF has been contributing developers, Blockscience produced the initial mathematical spec and model, and PrimeDAO has been pouring gasoline on the fire since the beginning by producing articles and other promotional materials around the impact of the proposal inverter.
It’s now time to put the proposal inverter to the test by ‘dogfooding’ the model. Dogfooding is a common term in software engineering and product development that means that a product is good enough for its creators to use it. It extends from the idea of a dogfood company eating the food themselves or feeding it to their dogs. In this case, we want the creators of the proposal inverter to be the initial users of the proposal inverter.
