I have some admin task proposals that need to be posted, here is the first one.
Some context here: This concerns the initial Shutter genesis allocation. The allocation details are here. Not all of those who were eligible claimed their initial allocation.
Currently 4% of total supply (more for claimable supply) is unclaimed.
Proposal
Shutter DAO 0x36 should execute administrative tasks, including:
transfer unclaimed SHU from the Vesting Contract to the Shutter DAO 0x36 treasury, and
remove the VestingPoolManager as a module from the treasury.
Transfer Unclaimed SHU
Genesis Allocation recipients were able to claim Shutter Tokens (SHU) through 14 July 2024 at https://claim.shutter.network/.
46,154,583.76269671627 SHU (4.6155% of the max SHU supply) remains in the Vesting Contract.
Shutter DAO 0x36 should execute a transaction to transfer unclaimed SHU from the Vesting Contract to the Shutter DAO 0x36 treasury.
Remove VestingPoolManager as a Module
The VestingPoolManager is currently enabled as a Safe module at the Treasury.
SHU token was originally non-transferable. The VestingPoolManager allowed Genesis Allocation recipients to withdraw their Genesis Allocations from the Genesis Allocation contract into their individual vesting contracts.
SHU token is now transferable. As a result, VestingPoolManager is no longer needed and the module can be safely removed.

For this topic, I’d like to add that Shutter DAO should make at least two attemps to reach the participants who have unclaimed their allocation before closing down the vesting.
New blog post
Tweet few times
Reach in private if participants are known
This would be in the name of good governance, good crypto spirit and making sure these people have not simply missed the original message.
While this is conflict of interest for Shutter DAO to maximize their treasury, I feel we should make sure the optics of Shutter DAO are perfect and no one is going to feel they were hurt in the process, whether this feeling is deserved or not.
A couple of notes about attempting to reach Genesis Allocation recipients who have not activated their SHÄU holdings:
Activation Period
The activation period ended on 14 July 2024. Shutter DAO 0x36 is not able to extend the activation period.
As a result, Genesis Allocation recipients who have not activated their SHU holdings will not able able to do so in the future.
Announcements
brainbot did announce the end of the activation period in the days and weeks before 14 July 2024, including 2 Tweets, 1 blog article and 1 community call:
Task finished, test and simulation are available here. It took 12h, less than expected (26h). So this will also reflect in a lower payment for the already approved budget in the estimate.
As Greenfield, we need to address our missed token allocation activation deadline and seek community input on potential remediation.
Key Points:
We’ve been active contributors since Shutters inception
Unfortunately we missed the July 15, 2024 activation deadline for our 909,090.9091 SHU allocation
The miss was due to communication gaps, not lack of commitment
We’ve maintained active infrastructure preparation for keyper node operations
We’re submitting a proposal to restore our allocation, as we remain committed to operating a keyper node and contributing to network security in the second keypers set.
Our team has been consistently engaged with the project, and we believe restoring our allocation aligns with the network’s best interests for Shutters security and decentralization.
We welcome your feedback on the proposal for best path forward.
