# Dev WG · Deliver the Dry-Run Protocol Upgrade & MetaMask Snap

| Status | 🟠 Proposed |
| --- | --- |
| Working Group | Core Development WG |
| Category | ⚙️ Protocol |
| Governance Phase | Phase 2 – activity-triggered |
| Champion | talesofbeem |
| Origin | [Dry-Run RFC](https://radixtalk.com/t/rfc-dry-run-protocol-upgrade/2168) · [MetaMask Snap RFC](https://radixtalk.com/t/rfc-metamask-snap-integration/2161) |

Two concrete, already-proposed development workstreams the DAO can fund early: a **dry-run protocol-upgrade** process to de-risk mainnet upgrades, and a **MetaMask Snap** integration to broaden wallet reach.

## Deliverables

- Fund and merge the dry-run protocol-upgrade tooling.
- Ship and maintain the MetaMask Snap integration.
- Fold both into the release/verification pipeline.

## Dependencies & cross-references

- Governed by [Daffy's Radix DAO framework](https://github.com/Shadaffy/radix-dao) (repo `Shadaffy/radix-dao`); see the [Governance Framework Reference Repo](https://radixtalk.com/t/rfc-dao-governance-framework-reference-repo/2268) and [Charter (Round 1)](https://radixtalk.com/t/rfc-dao-documents-round1-the-charter/2269).
- Supports [protocol upgrades](/ideas/dao-xian-protocol-upgrade) and [wallet stewardship](/ideas/dao-steward-radix-wallet).
