Our backlog is prioritized based on hypothesized impact on NEAR locked, constrained by capacity. Our current hypotheses (pending discovery validation):

• High: veNEAR friction (UX, tax blockers), proposal types (more meaningful proposals)
• Medium: delegate experience (onboarding, delegating, engagement, stakeholder comms)
• Low: veNEAR incentives, onchain execution, procedural transparency

This chart shows the impact on NEAR locked of: new proposals vs veNEAR incentives.

Q2 26 – Delegate Experience

Q3 26 – Onchain Execution, Performance & Scalability
