Dash DAO Announces Trust Protectors Election in March: The main development arm of Dash, Dash Core Group, has thus far only been held accountable by the ability of the Dash Masternodes to defund the entire group. However, the Dash DAO Irrevocable Trust was formed in July 2017 to give more authority to Dash masternodes to change aspects of DCG without the nuclear option of defunding. This coming March, the Dash masternodes will elect six individuals to be the Trust Protectors, whom cannot be members of Dash Core Group. The process makes Dash more decentralized by giving more precision recourse to more Dash individuals rather than a blunt fund or defund option.
