ChainCatcher news, ApeCoin DAO secretary Vulkan posted an organizational chart on Twitter, detailing the salaries of the DAO leadership. The image shows their monthly salaries ranging from $7,000 to $75,000, with one Twitter user describing such salary levels as "crazy" and potentially "burning money."In response, ApeCoin DAO board member and Animoca Brands co-founder Yat Siu tweeted that the compensation paid by ApeCoin DAO was initially designed to correspond with "the responsibilities and obligations of the positions," and at that time, the closest examples found were those of directors in publicly listed companies.Siu stated that due to factors such as risk and responsibility, the salaries of directors vary, with higher compensation in different industries, and pointed out that the cryptocurrency and Web3 industries carry many risks and responsibilities. Siu believes it is somewhat unfair to compare the salaries of ordinary workers with those of positions serving a DAO like ApeCoin, which is valued in the billions. (source link)

ChainCatcher news, regarding the Aragon Association's claim that "investors like Arca initiated a 51% attack," Arca's Chief Investment Officer Jeff Dorman responded in a recent blog post, stating: "The narrative of a 51% attack is actually incorrect; we are token holders, and we want to use our tokens to participate in governance. Arca's staked tokens promote active participation from token holders."Additionally, in response to the Aragon Association's claim that Arca and others dissolved the DAO organization, Arca stated that it did not attempt to dissolve Aragon, and that Arca has not invested in Invictus, Rook, Rome, or Temple, where the Fei Labs team proposed the dissolution themselves, and the Rook team initially proposed splitting the Incubator DAO. These are all efforts by token holders to achieve the best outcomes.Previous news, the Aragon Association canceled the voting rights plan for ANT token holders regarding the allocation of a $200 million treasury. They stated that the cancellation was to ensure the safety of the ANT price in response to the "51% attack" initiated by investors, including Arca. (Source link)
