Hey [@everyone](https://forum.ssv.network/groups/everyone), 👋

As for the **budget** , see [[DIP-26] ssv.network DAO Four-Year Budget (2024-2028)](https://forum.ssv.network/t/dip-26-ssv-network-dao-four-year-budget-2024-2028/1716) for a statement over the next 4 years. Also, see the detailed budget breakdown here:

- [SSV Ecosystem 4 year budget - Google Sheets](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RJ1gr_CajvwCiAvY7zWwRzIU73gNXann55m9b4-WwoY/edit?gid=0#gid=0)

For a **breakdown of the R&D budget** see [[DIP-31] Development Roadmap and Project Promotion Services for 2025-mid-2026 by SSV Labs](https://forum.ssv.network/t/dip-31-development-roadmap-and-project-promotion-services-for-2025-mid-2026-by-ssv-labs/1907). Note the percentages next to each deliverable.

If you seek **details of past spending** , every single transaction is listed here:

- [SSV DAO treasury - Google Sheets](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12cWougs1YjTd6gnsEvIZJMd0PXg_R3e7VkWyFXsmzbo/edit?gid=732582404#gid=732582404)

If you want to see **tokenomics stats** , including network burn, mints, circulating, and total supply, the dashboard is the go-to place:

- [https://dune.com/ssv\_network/ssvnetworktoken](https://dune.com/ssv_network/ssvnetworktoken)

As for future sustainability, we have presented **SSV 2.0** , which answers the questions you have and aims for ultra-sound SSV and DAO sustainability without the need to mint. SSV 2.0 is expected to hit testnet next week.

- [Based - SSV Network](https://ssv.network/based/)
- [Ultra-Sound SSV | SSV](https://docs.ssv.network/based-applications/learn/ssv2.0-a-based-applications-protocol/ultra-sound-ssv/)

Every penny is trackable, and every decision is linked to a DAO vote. I do think we’re one of the most transparent and democratic DAOs out there.

Let’s keep thoughts coming, but please make sure to understand the current context and future plans.

—Ben
