An important update regarding the future of 404 DAO’s governance operations.
Since entering the governance space in 2022, 404 Gov has been an active voice and participant in some of the industry’s largest DAOs. What started as a small team of Georgia Tech students focusing on contributing to the Optimism DAO, quickly grew to becoming a trusted delegate in 10 ecosystems.
As the governance team evolved and members ventured into new opportunities, we began to evaluate what was the best path forward for our governance vertical. We determined that our delegated voting power deserves a dedicated steward who can commit the time and focus it requires.
So while 404 Gov is taking a step back from governance, the mission and work will continue with one of our team members, Rika, under her new entity, @AxiaNetwork0x, which has taken over the voting wallets and governance operations. Going forward, Axia Network is responsible for the voting activity of 0xE93D59CC0bcECFD4ac204827eF67c5266079E2b5.
Rika has been a core part of our team’s operations for many years now and deeply understands the responsibility involved with being a delegate. We are confident that the delegations will continue to be handled with professionalism under her stewardship.
This transition applies only to governance-related wallets and profiles. Our partnership with Blockchain at Georgia Tech and educational work in Atlanta remains active.
Thank you to those who entrusted us with their voting power for so many years and thank you to the DAOs and contributors we’ve collaborated with during this period. It has been a privilege to take part in these ecosystems.

1/ Guess what?! 🎉 veNEAR holder rewards are live.
You can now earn boosted APY (~7.5%) for the first month when you lock NEAR to acquire veNEAR and delegate.
That’s materially higher than standard staking — and you still get to stake with a validator of your choice.
Minimum? Just 2.1 NEAR.
Here’s a quick guide—specifically for tokenholders locking NEAR and staking with a validator pool👇
Delegate accountability is one of the hardest design challenges in governance.
NEAR House of Stake is experimenting with a new model — one that could redefine incentives and accountability between tokenholders, delegates, and stakeholders.🧵@NEARGovernance
