Today we are happy to announce the launch of the Developer Governance staking pool, [neardevgov.poolv1.near](https://wallet.near.org/staking/neardevgov.poolv1.near) that you can use to directly support the NEAR developer ecosystem.\n\nSo far Developer Governance has kicked off 4 Work Groups and 11 Community Groups that all have regular meetings to discuss new ideas and formally agree on technical decisions. Our next steps are to scale what we’ve been already doing, introduce a platform for matching ideas with sponsorships and people implementing them, and further diversify community participation.\n\nThis project exists to help organize the NEAR developer ecosystem, and to a lesser extent to be an asset distribution router. However, to scale further, meet the above-mentioned growth milestones, and to simply cover the operational costs, we need to start receiving sponsorship and funding.\n\nIn the spirit of this being a community-centric project we would like to invite everyone to support Developer Governance DAO financially by staking NEAR tokens with our staking pool. All staking fees will be spent on the operation of the Developer Governance, which will include operational costs (including node/website infra costs and legal fees), incentivisation of the community in some select cases, direct grants to the projects, among other things. All transactions will be going through [neardevgov.sputnik-dao.near](https://app.astrodao.com/dao/neardevgov.sputnik-dao.near) which allows full transparency and accountability into asset allocation.","image":"bafkreicj5l53cuxeyva2v2m2qiufh4g5i6smehf2enc5lf4alsalubxukq"}
