Last week focused on shipping (Fable V4, RadixScan MCP), the AI agents narrative, the RAC remit fight, and the wallet still having no clear owner.
A governance-heavy week. The Operating Agreement deadline (29 June) and Peachy stepping down from the RAC hit in the same five days, while Hyperscale published its biggest monthly progress dump yet. Volunteers started forming real working groups, but the Foundation stayed silent on treasury transparency and the room kept asking who the business contact is.

What the room talked about
Peachy quietly exits the RAC
FarahXRD confirmed Peachy is no longer on the council, and several long-timers (Perer Youseg, Cala) said the council's most visible advocate is now gone with no full explanation. The community is asking for more transparency on why and what changes.

Hyperscale's biggest monthly dump
tomsn walked the room through 650+ commits: a leaderless BFT beacon chain with prefix consensus, stake-pool multi-node running, self-regulating validator parameters, snap-sync, and a 20% daily shard shuffle. flightofthefox added that hs-rs keeps going regardless of what happens to Radix proper.

Volunteer working groups form pre-DAO
Morten opened a private 'Radix Growth Lab' for marketing volunteers, Vlad sketched a 4-group structure (Tech, Growth, Partnerships, DAO mgmt), and Daffy offered governance templates. Everyone agreed planning can start now even though formal execution has to wait for the Permanent RAC.

Foundation treasury stays opaque
Karl Tong pushed publicly for a public ledger and a list of repo keys; Vlad B replied the community won't know the balance until it's already in the DAO, and Chikin said the MIDAO entity has to exist first. No answers were produced this week.

Council & insider watch
Peachy stepped down from the RAC (confirmed Thursday via FarahXRD), while projectShift explained the Transition RAC -> Permanent RAC (7 members) handoff plan, confirmed the Operating Agreement is targeted for 29 June, and urged Permanent RAC candidates to put themselves forward early. The governance repo also drew criticism for internal inconsistencies.
projectShiftRAC
Walked the room through the Transition-to-Permanent RAC timeline, set the OA target at 29 June, and asked potential Permanent RAC candidates to declare themselves now rather than later.
“I hope we don't elect a guy who's unable to read and understand stuff and expects other people to do that for him and then ELI5 to him.”
flightofthefox (hyperscale.rs)Hyperscale lead developer
Made clear Hyperscale continues regardless of what Radix does, will integrate Radix Engine as Xi'an if the DAO keeps paying milestones, and argued DAO grants should only fund projects that already have traction.
“There is no world in which commercially unviable endeavors can be subsidized in perpetuity, and zero projects so far have generated excess revenues.”
FarahXRDRAC liaison
Confirmed Peachy's departure from the RAC and pointed the room to the council's official announcement, framing the community itself as Radix's real strength.
“At the end of the day Radix is all of us and we're lucky to have so many people willing to contribute.”
Vlad Bbuilder / commentator
Sketched a 4-group working-group structure (Tech, Growth, Partnerships, DAO management) and pushed the room to start staffing now instead of waiting on paperwork.
“Usually what you're running from, ends up catching up with you. I prefer to be prepared.”
Question of the week
“How is a misbehaving or absent RAC member actually removed once the DAO is live?”
RAC members serve 6-month terms with a 2-year cap, any holder with 0.1% of voting power can force an election, and the full community can vote anyone out for misconduct, inactivity, or loss of trust.

Debate of the week — Should the DAO fund dapp developers at all?
One side
flightofthefox, Vlad and GENKIPOOL: no perpetual subsidies, only outcomes-based milestones for projects with real traction.
The other
Markus, MAvRe and Read Only: some XRD grants with lockups or revenue-share are still needed to seed apps the market won't fund alone.
Still open — expect a rematch.
Heard in the room

“100 of us will make it happen.”
— Giles Morris
“I am asking for hard facts, not philosophy. Where is the actual public ledger for the DAO, and who currently holds the keys?”

Jargon, decoded
Operating Agreement (OA) — The legal document that, once signed, lets the Radix DAO company form and accept the Foundation's handover.
Transition RAC — The current 5-member council's narrow post-DAO mandate until a Permanent RAC is elected.
Working group — A volunteer sub-team (e.g. Tech, Growth) the community is forming now to do real work before the DAO is formally activated.
The pulse
The mood: Tense but constructive: governance milestones are landing on schedule while the room grows openly anxious about treasury opacity, Peachy's quiet exit, and the lack of any business front door.
The bottom line
Remember this
Peachy leaving the RAC and the Operating Agreement targeting 29 June are happening in the same week, so the next seven days decide whether the DAO actually forms on schedule.
Next week
Watch for: the Operating Agreement landing by 29 June, Permanent RAC candidates putting themselves forward, and Morten's first update from the new Radix Growth Lab.
