In a recent Twitter Space, we gave our community an update about our exciting new chapter. The AMA centered around a significant leadership transition and gave a glimpse at our ambitious vision for the future.
Below is the summary and key highlights:
Overwhelming Community Support for New Leadership
The Spool DAO recently participated in a vote regarding the transfer of control to the new leadership team. The results were resoundingly positive, with an impressive 98.8% of votes favoring the transition. This overwhelming support demonstrates the community’s trust in the new direction and sets a strong foundation for Spool’s future growth.
Spool wishes to give a heartfelt thanks to former Lead Contributor Simon for his leadership over the past several years. While we’re saddened by his departure, we’re excited to support him in his career transition and Spool in its evolution.
Introducing the New Executive Team
The Space kicked off by introducing Yaro and Mike as Spool’s new executive team. Both bring extensive experience in the crypto and DeFi arenas:
- Yaro, with a background in traditional finance and seven years in the crypto industry, has participated in over 70 investments and built various businesses.
- Mike, co-founder of Faculty Group, comes from a technology and finance background, having overseen the technical implementation of numerous products and providing expertise to clients and DAOs.
Their combined experience makes them well-equipped to lead Spool into its next phase of growth and innovation.
Enhanced Marketing Strategy
The transition also brings a new marketing direction for Spool. Chas, the marketing director at X8C, has been onboarded to support and enhance Spool’s marketing efforts. With his extensive background in social media management for major corporations and Web3 projects, Chas aims to grow both the Spool brand and its products in the coming months.
Vision for Spool’s Evolution
The new leadership team hinted at several exciting developments on the horizon for Spool:

- Delivering Value: Continued emphasis on delivering value to both enterprises and individual users through its auto-compounding, risk-adjusted yield opportunities.
