Recently, a proposal submitted to the Dash DAO treasury has garnered attention, requesting an allocation of 90 DASH to support the upcoming Crypto Day conference at ITMO University. However, as of now, public information has not definitively confirmed whether this sponsorship collaboration has been finalized.
Relationship Between Dash DAO Proposal and ITMO Crypto Day Activity
A snapshot of the proposal can be viewed on DashCentral, but it does not indicate that the proposal has been funded or completed. This means that, currently, the most explicit link between Dash and the ITMO event is the proposal itself, rather than a formally established sponsorship agreement.
Dash's treasury system allows anyone to submit proposals for community-funded projects. These proposals require a network vote from supernode operators to receive funding. Until confirmation of the vote passing and payment execution appears, the proposal remains solely in the proposal stage.
Confirmed Information on ITMO University Crypto Day Activity
ITMO University lists the event "Crypto Day | Криптодень by Build Web3 Club" on its event portal, scheduled for March 22, 2026, at the ITMO campus in St. Petersburg. The event appears to be organized by a student-led Web3 community.
Cryptocurrency trading platform Bitget has released a dedicated event page, describing itself as a key partner for the conference. Bitget stated that it will host an educational session as part of its global "Blockchain4Youth" initiative.
Bitget's event materials mention Lili Malikova, who stated, "Bitget will host an educational session as part of its global Blockchain4Youth initiative." In the currently publicly reviewed event pages, Bitget is the only partner explicitly listed.
Notably, ITMO University and Bitget's public event materials do not list Dash as a confirmed sponsor or partner. Although the proposal on DashCentral explicitly mentions the same conference, there is a significant gap between a proposal in DAO governance and a confirmed sponsorship. The event is scheduled to take place in five days. If Dash's proposal is approved, on-chain treasury records will reflect the disbursement of funds. Until then, the connection between Dash DAO and ITMO Crypto Day remains at the proposal stage. Broader crypto industry participation in the university event has been confirmed through Bitget's involvement.
