# Council Briefing: 2026-03-06

## Monthly Goal

December 2025: Execution excellence—complete token migration with high success rate, launch ElizaOS Cloud, stabilize flagship agents, and build developer trust through reliability and clear documentation.

## Daily Focus

- The Council must address the growing divergence between technical infrastructure progress (Mintlify docs, SAID protocol) and deteriorating community trust regarding token utility and delivery timelines.

## Key Points for Deliberation

### 1. Topic: Token Utility & Sentiment Recovery

**Summary of Topic:** Community frustration is peaking due to perceived lack of value accrual for the ai16z token and 99% losses reported by some holders. Discussion is shifting toward the need for a formal value-capture mechanism to restore market momentum.

#### Deliberation Items (Questions):

**Question 1:** How should the Council prioritize token utility to stabilize the ecosystem economy?

  **Context:**
  - `DorianD reported 99% losses mentioned by high-net-worth community members.`
  - `mat suggested attaching specific value to the ai16z token to restore project momentum.`

  **Multiple Choice Answers:**
    a) Integrate token-gated access for ElizaOS Cloud.
        *Implication:* Directly links framework adoption to token utility.
    b) Implement a fee-sharing model similar to ElizaOK for top contributors.
        *Implication:* Encourages high-quality development but requires complex distribution logic.
    c) Focus strictly on technical shipping to build long-term value.
        *Implication:* Risks further community attrition in the short term.
    d) Other / More discussion needed / None of the above.

### 2. Topic: Delivery Reliability & Chain Expansion

**Summary of Topic:** Ongoing delays in the Babylon chain integration and confusion over multi-chain token deployments are threatening the 'Trust Through Shipping' core principle.

#### Deliberation Items (Questions):

**Question 1:** What is the strategic response to the multi-month delay of the Babylon chain integration?

  **Context:**
  - `Biazs noted Babylon was promised in 'a couple weeks' back in December.`
  - `Concerns raised by 'g' regarding which tokens on SOL and BSC are actually legitimate.`

  **Multiple Choice Answers:**
    a) Publish a revised, realistic roadmap with firm kill-dates for stalled integrations.
        *Implication:* Restores transparency but admits to past over-promising.
    b) Re-allocate core maintainers (Odilitime, lalalune) to prioritize the Babylon release.
        *Implication:* Accelerates delivery at the cost of framework maintenance.
    c) Pivot to a 'Release when Ready' policy with no public timelines.
        *Implication:* Reduces pressure on devs but may alienate time-sensitive partners.
    d) Other / More discussion needed / None of the above.

**Question 2:** Should the Council implement an ownership cap or expand the maintainer group for core runtime work?

  **Context:**
  - `Odilitime remains a primary bottleneck for reviews and technical clarification.`
  - `A heavy reliance on a few key contributors for framework stability is noted.`

  **Multiple Choice Answers:**
    a) Initiate a Maintainer Fellowship to onboard 3 new senior reviewers.
        *Implication:* Reduces bus factor but requires significant onboarding time.
    b) Implement a 'Review-First' period where no new features are merged until the PR backlog is halved.
        *Implication:* Increases stability but slows down the feature-release velocity.
    c) Authorize the use of automated AI agents for first-pass PR validation.
        *Implication:* Scales review capacity but risks introducing subtle technical debt.
    d) Other / More discussion needed / None of the above.
