ParaSwap DAO

Abstract

This proposal seeks DAO approval for VeloraDAO to sponsor Governance Day 4th Edition 2025, taking place November 15–16, 2025 at the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina (UCA), Buenos Aires.

Governance Day has already established itself as the leading global event for DAO governance. In 2024, at Devcon SEA in Bangkok, over 1200 people registered, with more than 200 participants and 30 speakers coming together. Co-organized by SeedGov and Curia Lab, the event was widely recognized as a hub for innovative governance discussions and collaborations.

Co-organized by SEEDGov and Curia Lab, and widely recognized as a hub for innovative governance discussions and collaborations.

Sponsorship in 2025 would position VeloraDAO alongside these leading governance organizations, amplifying the DAO visibility, enabling stage presence, and opening the door to new partnerships in the global DAO ecosystem.
