While there is currrently a proposal focused on the moderator team, the underlying issue is much broader: there is a serious concentration of roles within the ecosystem. Several individuals simultaneously hold moderator and curator positions, giving the same small group significant influence over community management and treasury-funded decisions.
These four individuals collectively receive $12,150 per month from curator and moderation roles combined while holding positions across almost all remaining active bounties.
Following the bounties restructuring, curator responsibilities have become increasingly concentrated among a limited number of individuals. This reduces opportunities for broader community participation and gives the same group significant influence over treasury allocation decisions.
Treasury governance should promote decentralization, transparency, rotation of responsibilities, and wider community involvement. This situation deserves a broader discussion on mechanisms such as curator rotation, limits on simultaneous roles, and clear conflict-of-interest guidelines to prevent excessive concentration of responsibilities and decision-making power, ensuring that treasury resources remain open, diverse, and aligned with decentralization principles.
