AIP-20 has been carried out. The next vote is the DAO’s mission (AIP-18), and AIP-20 depends on it: staking rewards stay in the Perpetual Fund until holders have voted on an updated mission. The discussion is in the AIP-18 thread: [[Proposal] AIP-18: Update AssangeDAO Mission Statement](https://forum.assangedao.org/t/proposal-aip-18-update-assangedao-mission-statement/994) - zylo has proposed four versions: [[Proposal] AIP-18: Update AssangeDAO Mission Statement - #11 by zylo\_eth](https://forum.assangedao.org/t/proposal-aip-18-update-assangedao-mission-statement/994/11) - The Chinese-speaking community has added a fifth: [[Proposal] AIP-18: Update AssangeDAO Mission Statement - #13 by innocent](https://forum.assangedao.org/t/proposal-aip-18-update-assangedao-mission-statement/994/13) Please read them and reply there rather than here, so the whole discussion stays in one place. The mission will shape what the DAO does from here on, and every holder’s view counts. A suggested timeline: three days of discussion, as AIP-16 had, until 23:59 UTC on Sunday 18 October; Snapshot upload on Monday 19 October; voting from Tuesday 20 to Thursday 22 October (UTC). Please give your view before the 18th. ─── 中文 AIP-20 已执行完毕。下一次投票是 DAO 的使命（AIP-18）。这也是 AIP-20 本身的要求：质押收益要等持币人就更新后的使命投票之后，才能从永续基金中动用。 讨论在 AIP-18 讨论帖里： [[Proposal] AIP-18: Update AssangeDAO Mission Statement](https://forum.assangedao.org/t/proposal-aip-18-update-assangedao-mission-statement/994) - zylo 提出了四个版本： [[Proposal] AIP-18: Update AssangeDAO Mission Statement - #11 by zylo\_eth](https://forum.assangedao.org/t/proposal-aip-18-update-assangedao-mission-statement/994/11) - 中文社区补充了第五个： [[Proposal] AIP-18: Update AssangeDAO Mission Statement - #13 by innocent](https://forum.assangedao.org/t/proposal-aip-18-update-assangedao-mission-statement/994/13) 请大家前往阅读，并在那里回复，而不是在本帖，让讨论集中在一处。使命将决定 DAO 今后做什么，每一位持币人的意见都很重要。 建议的时间表：像 AIP-16 那样论坛讨论三天，截至 10 月 18 日（周日）UTC 23:59；10 月 19 日（周一）上传 Snapshot；10 月 20 日（周二）至 22 日（周四）投票（均为 UTC 时间）。请在 18 日之前发表意见。 ---

Sounds good. Thank you Innocent! Snapshot upload will be Monday 19 October. Please continue to discuss this here. ### How Other DAOs Typically Word Missions Strong DAO mission/purpose statements are usually: - Short (1–3 sentences), concrete, and action-oriented (“what we do / how”). - Paired with a separate Vision (the desired world) and sometimes Values or Essential Intents. - Timeless enough to guide years of proposals but specific enough to filter what the treasury funds. - Rooted in the community’s identity (protocol, cypherpunk, public goods, etc.). Examples: - **Gitcoin** : Purpose — “To empower communities to fund their shared needs.” Mission (later) — “Gitcoin creates technologies and opportunities that enable communities to build, fund and protect what matters.” Vision — “Gitcoin inspires a world shaped by community-led positive change.” - **Lido** : Purpose — “To keep Ethereum decentralized, accessible to all, and resistant to censorship.” Mission — “To make staking simple, secure, and decentralized.” - **MoonDAO** : “MoonDAO’s mission is to accelerate the creation of a self-sustaining, self-governing settlement on the Moon by 2030…” (paired with values around equality, freedom, decentralization, transparency). - **Decentraland DAO** : “Ensure the sustainability of the Decentraland Ecosystem through representative governance, efficient management of collective resources, and technical innovation.” - **ShapeShift** : “We shall be the pathway into this borderless financial system; an open-source, multi-chain, self-custody crypto platform enabling billions to achieve financial sovereignty.” New AssangeDAO Mission (5 ideas) 1. The mission of the AssangeDAO is to inspire a powerful solidarity network and fight for Julian Assange’s full vindication, and for the principle that publishing true information is not a crime. We will campaign to keep that case, and that principle, in public view. 2. The mission of the AssangeDAO is to inspire a powerful solidarity network and fight for Julian Assange’s pardon. We will campaign until a publisher is no longer punished for telling the truth. 3. The mission of the AssangeDAO is to inspire a powerful solidarity network around Julian Assange’s claim that one of the best ways to achieve justice is to expose injustice. We will campaign for his full vindication, and for the publishers and sources who stand where he stood. 4. The mission of the AssangeDAO is to inspire a powerful solidarity network and carry forward the fight that freed Julian Assange: that a publisher must not be punished for telling the truth. We will campaign to keep his case, and that principle, alive. 5. AssangeDAO holds to Julian Assange’s belief: “If wars can be started by lies, peace can be started by truth.” Our mission is peace: to support work that resolves conflict and builds understanding, and to sustain the worldwide solidarity that helped win Assange his freedom, so that no one who speaks up for peace has to stand alone. Our principle: we neither support nor oppose any political party, government, or candidate. Personally I would reword number 5 as something like: AssangeDAO holds to Julian Assange’s words: “If wars can be started by lies, peace can be started by truth.” Our mission is peace through truth: to back those who expose injustice and to keep the solidarity that freed Assange alive, so no publisher or source who tells the truth has to stand alone. Or: (3 new ideas) 1. The mission of AssangeDAO is to inspire a powerful solidarity network and advance the causes Julian Assange stands for: truth, transparency, freedom of information, free speech, and the protection of whistleblowers. We, the cypherpunks, continue to rally for justice through decentralized action. 2. AssangeDAO’s mission is to build and fund a decentralized engine for truth and freedom: supporting projects, tools, and voices that advance transparency, censorship resistance, free expression, and the protection of those who expose injustice. 3. The mission of AssangeDAO is to maintain a perpetual, community-governed fund and network that supports whistleblowers, privacy tools, and initiatives advancing freedom of information and speech — carrying forward the cypherpunk fight that helped free Julian Assange. Or (4 shorter options): 1. The mission of the AssangeDAO is to be Julian Assange’s digital army. 2. The mission of the AssangeDAO is to defend Julian Assange and the values he stands for. 3. The mission of the AssangeDAO is to stand with Julian Assange and carry his fight.\*\* 4. The mission of the AssangeDAO is to inspire a solidarity network for Julian Assange and his cause. ---

Thanks Zylo, and thanks innocent and the Chinese-speaking community for option 5. This is my view as one holder. I’m not speaking for Julian. I support the timeline: discussion to Sunday, Snapshot on Monday, voting from the 20th. On the ballot: there are now a dozen wordings, and our Snapshot space only allows single-choice, so the vote will split. That’s the problem Zylo raised last year. Holders rejected ranked choice and quadratic voting in AIP-5, but AIP-5 does allow approval voting. Each holder ticks every option they can accept, and the option with the most support wins. It needs a settings change signed by the Safe, so I’ve raised it with the other signers and asked Zylo to set it up before Monday’s upload. I’ll sign it. The plan is approval for this vote, then back to single-choice for normal yes/no proposals. If we can’t get three signatures in time, we keep the date and stay single-choice. In that case we should cut it to three clearly different options, with option 5 on the ballot once, so its two versions don’t split each other. Either way, Zylo and innocent are best placed to pick the shortlist. On the wording, I’d back option 5 as innocent wrote it. It starts with Julian’s own words, and exposing how wars are started and fought was at the heart of WikiLeaks’ work. Peace is also something holders everywhere can stand behind, and the principle line keeps the DAO out of party politics. Zylo’s rewording is close, and I’d be happy with it too. AIP-20 keeps the staking yield in the Perpetual Fund until this vote. A broad mission is fine, because under AIP-15 any spending still needs a Snapshot vote, so holders will decide case by case what fits. If another option wins, I’d still add innocent’s principle underneath it: we neither support nor oppose any political party, government or candidate. 感谢 Zylo，也感谢 innocent 和中文社区提出的选项 5。以下是我作为一名持币人的个人看法，并不代表 Julian。 我支持这个时间表：讨论到周日，周一上传 Snapshot，20 日开始投票。 关于投票方式：现在已有十几个版本，而我们的 Snapshot 空间只允许单选，票数一定会被分散。这正是 Zylo 去年提出的问题。持币人在 AIP-5 中否决了排序投票和二次方投票，但 AIP-5 允许认可投票（approval voting）：每位持币人可以勾选所有自己能接受的选项，获得支持最多的选项胜出。 这需要由多签 Safe 签署一次设置更改。我已经和其他签名人提出此事，并请 Zylo 在周一上传之前完成设置，我会签署。计划是本次投票使用认可投票，之后改回单选，用于平常的赞成/反对提案。如果来不及凑齐三个签名，就保持日期不变、继续用单选。那样的话，应把选项缩减到三个明显不同的版本，选项 5 只列一次，以免两个版本互相分票。无论哪种方式，由 Zylo 和 innocent 来确定最终名单最合适。 关于措辞，我支持 innocent 提出的选项 5 原文。它以 Julian 本人的话开篇，而揭露战争如何被发动、如何进行，正是维基解密工作的核心。和平也是各地持币人都能认同的目标，而那句原则让 DAO 远离党派政治。Zylo 的改写版也很接近，我同样可以接受。 AIP-20 规定，质押收益在本次投票之前留在永续基金中。使命宽一些没有问题，因为根据 AIP-15，任何支出仍需经过 Snapshot 投票，由持币人逐项决定什么符合使命。 如果最终是其他选项胜出，我仍建议在下面加上 innocent 提出的原则：我们不支持、也不反对任何政党、政府或候选人。 ---

Thank you, Gabriel, and thank you, zylo, for confirming Monday’s upload. Approval voting: agreed. You’re right that AIP-5 ruled out ranked choice; I should have checked that before suggesting it. Approval voting solves the same problem, and AIP-5 allows it. On the wording of option 5: I’d ask that it go on the ballot as written. It took several days of discussion in the Chinese-speaking community to arrive at it, and one point was deliberate: it is framed around peace, and leaves out language about exposing or disclosing, which a number of holders were uneasy about. zylo, your rewording reads well, but it brings that language back (“those who expose injustice”, “publisher or source”), so I’d keep the original for the vote. On the shortlist: twelve options would be a lot to read even with approval voting. I’d suggest one option per direction, so each is clearly different: - Julian’s case and the principle behind it, for example zylo’s #4 (“carry forward the fight that freed Julian Assange…”) or #1. - The wider cause, tools and funding, for example #7 or #8. - Peace: option 5 as written. zylo, you know your versions best, so you’re better placed than me to pick which of yours stands for the first two. If we end up on single-choice, those three are the ballot. With approval voting we could add one more if people feel strongly about it. I’d also support Gabriel’s suggestion that the principle apply whichever option wins: we neither support nor oppose any political party, government or candidate. ─── 中文 感谢 Gabriel，也感谢 zylo 确认周一上传。 投票方式：同意采用认可投票。你说得对，AIP-5 已经否决了排序投票，我在建议之前应该先查一下。认可投票能解决同样的问题，而且是 AIP-5 允许的。 关于选项 5 的措辞：希望能按原文列入投票。这个版本是中文社区经过好几天讨论才定下来的，其中有一点是刻意的：它以和平为中心，没有使用"揭露"”披露"这类措辞，因为不少持币人对此有顾虑。zylo，你的改写读起来很好，但它把这类措辞又加了回来（“those who expose injustice”、“publisher or source”），所以投票时我希望保留原文。 关于候选名单：十二个选项，即使用认可投票，读起来也太多了。建议每个方向只保留一个版本，让各个选项之间区别明确： - 阿桑奇的案件及其背后的原则，例如 zylo 的第 4 条（“carry forward the fight that freed Julian Assange…”）或第 1 条； - 更广泛的理念、工具和资助，例如第 7 或第 8 条； - 和平：选项 5 原文。 zylo，你最了解自己的版本，前两个方向选哪一条，由你来定更合适。如果最终只能单选，这三条就是投票选项；如果用认可投票，大家觉得有必要的话，可以再加一条。 我也支持 Gabriel 的建议：无论哪个选项胜出，都附上这条原则：我们不支持、也不反对任何政党、政府或候选人。 ---

This is a perfectly reasonable mission. Mr. Assange’s lifelong struggle for freedom of the press and freedom of speech was for the sake of truth and world peace. Peace is a topic that has never gone out of style for thousands of years and is the heartfelt wish of millions of people around the world. It is worth our continued efforts and fighting alongside Assange. ---

**Please review this, let me know if I am missing anything.** AIP-18: Update AssangeDAO Mission Statement **1. Summary** AssangeDAO’s original mission is complete. This proposal asks $JUSTICE holders to adopt a new official mission. Nine options drawn from community discussion are presented. The option with the highest support becomes the official mission of AssangeDAO and guides future proposals and treasury use. **2. Motivation** The DAO has had no updated purpose since Assange’s release. AIP-20 holds staking rewards in the Perpetual Fund until holders vote on an updated mission. A clear mission restores shared direction and gives the Consensus Unit and signers a standard for future proposals. **3. Proposal Details** The mission that receives the highest $JUSTICE-weighted support becomes the official mission of AssangeDAO. It will be published on [assangedao.org](http://assangedao.org) and used as the reference for proposal alignment. No treasury expenditure is authorized by this vote. The mission may be amended by a later AIP. **4. Voting Options** 1. The mission of the AssangeDAO is to inspire a powerful solidarity network and fight for Julian Assange’s full vindication, and for the principle that publishing true information is not a crime. We will campaign to keep that case, and that principle, in public view. 2. The mission of the AssangeDAO is to inspire a powerful solidarity network and fight for Julian Assange’s pardon. We will campaign until a publisher is no longer punished for telling the truth. 3. The mission of the AssangeDAO is to inspire a powerful solidarity network and carry forward the fight that freed Julian Assange: that a publisher must not be punished for telling the truth. We will campaign to keep his case, and that principle, alive. 4. The mission of the AssangeDAO is to support work that advances truth, free speech, and whistleblower protection, and to keep fighting for Julian Assange’s pardon. We will back campaigns, tools, and people that serve that fight. 5. AssangeDAO holds to Julian Assange’s belief: “If wars can be started by lies, peace can be started by truth.” Our mission is peace: to support work that resolves conflict and builds understanding, and to sustain the worldwide solidarity that helped win Assange his freedom, so that no one who speaks up for peace has to stand alone. 6. The mission of the AssangeDAO is to build a solidarity engine for truth and freedom. We will support publishers, sources, and initiatives that make power visible and keep the people who do that work from standing alone. 7. Support Ethereum-aligned projects that advance transparency, justice, human rights, and the ongoing fight for Assange’s full freedom. 8. Build a decentralized engine for truth and freedom by supporting global initiatives that advance transparency and human rights. 9. The mission of the AssangeDAO is to put cryptography and open coordination on the side of publishers and sources. We will help make it possible to publish, and to live through the consequences. 10. None of the above **5. Implementation** Uploaded to Snapshot at 00:00 UTC on Monday 19 October 2026. Voting opens at 00:00 UTC on Tuesday 20 October and closes at 00:00 UTC on Thursday 22 October. One-day delay, two-day vote. $JUSTICE-weighted. Single choice. The highest option becomes the official mission. ---

Thank you, zylo, this reads well, and thank you for keeping the timeline. Two things before the upload: 1. Option 5 is missing its last line, which was part of it as posted (#13 in t/994): “Our principle: we neither support nor oppose any political party, government, or candidate.” It matters to the holders who wrote it. As Gabriel suggested, it could also go in section 3 as a principle that applies whichever option wins. 2. Voting type: the Safe transaction for the settings change (nonce 55) now has its three signatures, so approval voting should be available once it’s executed. With nine options, approval would let holders tick every mission they can accept, and the result would show real support rather than a split. If it can’t be in place by Monday, Gabriel’s fallback was a shorter list on single choice. ─── 中文 感谢 zylo，草稿写得很好，也感谢你守住了时间表。 上传之前有两点： 1. 选项 5 少了最后一句，它在原文中是这个选项的一部分（t/994 #13）：“Our principle: we neither support nor oppose any political party, government, or candidate.”（我们的原则：不支持、也不反对任何政党、政府或候选人。）这句话对提出这个版本的持币人很重要。也可以按 Gabriel 的建议，把它写进第 3 节，作为无论哪个选项胜出都适用的原则。 2. 投票方式：修改设置的 Safe 交易（nonce 55）现在已经凑齐三个签名，执行之后就可以使用认可投票。九个选项用认可投票，每位持币人可以勾选所有能接受的使命，结果反映的是真正的支持，而不会被分票。如果周一前来不及，Gabriel 的备选方案是缩短名单、继续用单选。 * * * ---

Thanks Zylo, and thanks innocent. Nonce 55 has been executed, so the space is now on approval voting. Section 5 should say approval rather than single choice: each holder ticks every option they can accept, and the option with the most support wins. One small addition. Could you number the options and give each a short label on Snapshot, like “5. Peace”? It makes them easier to discuss and translate. I’m keen to keep the [pardonassange.org](http://pardonassange.org) campaign going, but won’t really ramp it up until the timing is better. I think it’s important to keep pursuing that, but not necessary to mention in the mission. ─── 中文 感谢 Zylo，也感谢 innocent。Nonce 55 已经执行，空间现在已改为认可投票（approval voting）。第 5 节应写为认可投票，而不是单选：每位持币人可以勾选所有自己能接受的选项，获得支持最多的选项胜出。 再补充一点：能否在 Snapshot 上给各个选项编号，并各加一个简短标签，例如"5. Peace（和平）"？这样更便于讨论和翻译。 我希望继续推进 [pardonassange.org](http://pardonassange.org) 的请愿活动，但目前不会大力推动，会等待更合适的时机。我认为继续推进这件事很重要，但没有必要写进使命里。 ---

Thank you, Gabriel. I compared the space settings before and after nonce 55: the only change is the voting type, from single-choice to approval. Admins, members, quorum and the strategy are as they were. zylo, in case it saves you time, short labels could be: 1. Vindication · 2. Pardon · 3. Carry the fight · 4. Truth and whistleblowers · 5. Peace · 6. Solidarity engine · 7. Ethereum projects · 8. Truth and freedom engine · 9. Cryptography for publishers · 10. None of the above And a reminder on option 5’s last line, the principle, from my earlier reply. ─── 中文 感谢 Gabriel。我对比了 nonce 55 执行前后的空间设置：唯一的变化是投票方式由单选改为认可投票，管理员、成员、法定人数和投票策略都保持不变。 zylo，如果能帮你省点时间，各选项的简短标签可以是： 1. 平反 · 2. 特赦 · 3. 延续斗争 · 4. 真相与举报人保护 · 5. 和平 · 6. 声援引擎 · 7. 以太坊项目 · 8. 真相与自由引擎 · 9. 为发布者提供密码学工具 · 10. 以上皆非 另外再提醒一下我之前回复里说的：选项 5 最后那句原则。 * * * ---

The highest option becomes the official mission. ─── 中文 AIP-18：更新 AssangeDAO 使命声明 **1. 摘要** AssangeDAO 的原使命已经完成。本提案请 $JUSTICE 持币人采纳新的官方使命。以下提供九个来自社区讨论的选项。获得最高支持的选项将成为 AssangeDAO 的官方使命，并指导未来提案与国库使用。 **2. 动机** 自阿桑奇获释以来，DAO 一直没有更新的宗旨。AIP-20 规定质押收益留在永续基金中，直到持币人对更新后的使命投票。明确的使命能恢复共同方向，并为共识单元与签名人提供未来提案的标准。 **3. 提案详情** 获得最高 $JUSTICE 加权支持的使命将成为 AssangeDAO 的官方使命。它将发布在 [assangedao.org](http://assangedao.org)，并作为提案对齐的参考。本投票不授权任何国库支出。使命可通过后续 AIP 修改。 我们的原则：不支持、也不反对任何政党、政府或候选人。无论哪个选项胜出，该原则均适用于获胜的使命。 **4. 投票选项** 1. 平反 AssangeDAO 的使命是激发强大的声援网络，为朱利安·阿桑奇的完全平反而战，并为“发布真实信息不是犯罪”这一原则而战。我们将开展运动，让这一案件与这一原则持续处于公众视野。 2. 特赦 AssangeDAO 的使命是激发强大的声援网络，为朱利安·阿桑奇争取特赦。我们将开展运动，直到发布者不再因说出真相而受到惩罚。 3. 延续斗争 AssangeDAO 的使命是激发强大的声援网络，延续那场解放朱利安·阿桑奇的斗争：发布者不得因说出真相而受到惩罚。我们将开展运动，让他的案件与这一原则持续存活。 4. 真相与举报人保护 AssangeDAO 的使命是支持推进真相、言论自由与举报人保护的工作，并继续为朱利安·阿桑奇争取特赦。我们将支持服务于这一斗争的运动、工具与人。 5. 和平 AssangeDAO 秉持朱利安·阿桑奇的信念：“如果战争可以由谎言发动，和平就可以由真相开启。”我们的使命是和平：支持化解冲突、增进理解的事业，延续那场帮助阿桑奇赢得自由的全球声援，让每一个为和平发声的人都不必孤身一人。 我们的原则：不支持、也不反对任何政党、政府或候选人。 6. 声援引擎 AssangeDAO 的使命是打造真相与自由的声援引擎。我们将支持那些让权力可见的发布者、消息来源与倡议，并让从事这项工作的人不致孤身一人。 7. 以太坊项目 支持与以太坊对齐、推进透明度、正义、人权以及继续争取阿桑奇完全自由的项目。 8. 真相与自由引擎 打造去中心化的真相与自由引擎，支持全球推进透明度与人权的倡议。 9. 为发布者提供密码学工具 AssangeDAO 的使命是让密码学与开放协作站在发布者与消息来源一边。我们将帮助使发布成为可能，并使人们能够承受其后果。 10. 以上皆非 **5. 实施** 于 2026 年 10 月 19 日（周一）UTC 00:00 上传至 Snapshot。投票于 2026 年 10 月 20 日（周二）UTC 00:00 开始，于 10 月 22 日（周四）UTC 00:00 结束。延迟一天、投票两天。$JUSTICE 加权。认可投票：每位持币人可勾选所有自己能接受的选项，获得支持最多的选项胜出。最高选项成为官方使命。 ---

Hi Zoly, the community would like to understand the voting rules. Can a person only choose one option, or can they choose multiple options? If multiple options can be selected simultaneously, will the option with the most votes win, or will the first and second most popular options both be included in the new mission? ---

@zylo_eth, just checking in on AIP-18: it isn’t on Snapshot yet. Is anything holding it up, or is there something we can help with? Since the space adds the one-day delay automatically, a late upload only moves the dates in section 5 by the same amount, so nothing else needs to change. And if it’s easier for another space member to upload it this time, that works too. ─── 中文 @zylo_eth，想问一下 AIP-18 的进展：目前还没有上传到 Snapshot。是遇到了什么问题，还是有什么我们可以帮忙的？ 空间会自动加一天延迟，所以晚上传只会让第 5 节的日期相应顺延，其他内容都不需要改。如果这次由其他空间成员上传更方便，也完全可以。 ---
