This community counter proposal suggests a minor but important amendment to TIP-33 to better protect the DAO from potential legal issues from BattleFly. Considering recent information, this TIP proposes the following:
It is essential to address the possibility and risk of possible legal actions by BattleFly that was later communicated with the TreasureDAO community, in addition to the original rationale provided by the Treasure DAO core team in TIP-33.
Engaging in legal action can be both time-consuming and costly and will distract the Treasure team from its mission of executing TreasureDAO’s vision. Finding a solution to avoid litigation not only in the present but also in the future is in the best interest of the DAO. A mutual release should be adequately scoped and made public so that the DAO can evaluate its merits in safeguarding Treasure against BattleFly and any associated parties.
The current proposal (both its original and amended forms) is flawed because the DAO only approves the action of the transfer arrangement which is still subject to a “satisfactory mutual release”. This mutual release should not be drafted and agreed upon behind closed doors by both core councils of TreasureDAO and BattleFlyDAO as it has direct implications to the DAO. It is crucial that the DAO votes and signs off on the scope of the mutual release, ensuring transparency and alignment with the DAO's interests.
