Our member Paulkadotter explains in detail how Polkadot's governance system has evolved to leverage stablecoins for smarter, more predictable treasury management, reducing volatility by using DCA and supporting ecosystem growth. ☝️

Congratulations to all Cohort V delegates, and a special shout-out to our former member Flez, who has just been selected as a Guardian (DV-light), a valuable new addition to the DV programme.
