Ethena Community Votes to Streamline Risk Committee Structure
The Ethena community is currently voting on a proposal to reduce its Risk Committee membership from five to three members. Submitted by Ethena Labs Research, the plan argues that a leaner structure would enhance operational efficiency and accountability.
Proponents contend that three dedicated members could each oversee specific risk domains—DeFi lending exposure, Reserve Fund management, and protocol integrations—eliminating the diffusion of responsibility inherent in the current five-member structure. "This focused approach ensures no critical area falls through the cracks," the proposal states.
The MOVE reflects a growing trend among DAOs to optimize governance frameworks as they mature. A decision is expected following the ongoing community vote.
