I just came across an interesting set of data. A leading DEX foundation's 2024 financial ledger shows a payroll cost of $4.8 million, yet they only allocated $10 million in funding. At first glance, it seems fine, but upon further reflection, something doesn't add up.

Let's compare. The Optimism Grants Committee's staff expenses are $2.6 million, but their grant budget is $63.5 million—less than a third of the former in costs, yet managing more than six times the amount. This comparison reveals a problem.

The community is now loudly questioning. People's doubts are straightforward: the foundation spent so much on salaries, but the actual funding disbursed is only about 20% of that. Using such high human resource costs to produce such low funding efficiency—does that make sense?

UNI holders are starting to ask— the foundation's board needs to clarify what value this expenditure has actually created. Either optimize the structure or clearly explain the accounts and contributions. Transparency and efficiency, the two most valuable aspects in DAO governance, are now in question.
