Melee 2 Voting Power results are in! 926,480 SHU was purchased between May 21 and June 10 to gain voting power for Melee 2 We came just short of the 1M SHU goal, but still consider this a strong result - to keep Melee 2 moving forward, we’ve decided to remove the quorum for the upcoming voting What’s next? To remain eligible to vote, everyone who purchased SHU must continue holding it through July 30 During this period, we’ll also start collecting proposals from Shutter DAO 0x36 Delegates, Security Council Members, and Keypers on how they would allocate the $10,000 to help advance Shutter
