DONUT Monthly Report | June Developments | Community Engagement Soars

As June wraps up, the Donut ecosystem witnesses notable advancements and a surge in community enthusiasm. Key updates feature substantial token minting, changes in advertising strategies due to new forum rules, and the nearing launch of an updated website.

Minting Milestones and Financial Strategy

The Donut DAO minted 20,880,000 DONUT tokens in June, crucial for supporting treasury operations and ecosystem growth. Following the minting rules, no additional tokens can be minted until June 2026, securing stable inflation ahead.

Anticipation for the Upcoming Website

Community members are eagerly awaiting the new Donut DAO website, which is nearly complete, needing only a few final touches on the user registration script. One commenter expressed excitement, saying, "Can't wait to see the DAO homepage; I hope there's a section on how to become a DAO member!"

Additionally, volunteers are being sought to contribute to the Donut DAO blog, with members encouraged to send in draft posts on relevant topics. The push towards community involvement is clear.

Advertising Adaptations Following Forum Policy Changes

In response to recent restrictions on third-party advertising, the Donut DAO is pivoting its promotional strategy. Reddit banned banner ads and sticky posts, citing violations. However, they confirmed that community content remains acceptable. As one spokesperson noted, "We can still run AMAs and community content."

To adapt, the DAO is considering utilizing pinned posts for promotion, ensuring that any DONUT spent will be burned, enhancing ecosystem value. One user pointed out, "Almost 320k DONUTs burned in a single month. If the ad proposal passes, we can easily burn almost 500k DONUTs per month. So bullish!"
