Once the Foundation stops administering subsidy payouts, a community body must take over: computing uptime-adjusted payments, distributing them, and reporting transparently each month.

## Deliverables

- Assign subsidy administration to a WG / Authorized Signers.
- Implement uptime-adjusted payment computation from ledger data.
- Publish monthly transparency reports.
- Allocate a small admin stipend (amount via proposal).

## 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).
- Executes the outcome of [the subsidy decision](/ideas/dao-validator-subsidy-future).
- Pays via [the treasury multisig](/ideas/dao-treasury-multisig-signers).
