We're thrilled to announce River’s acquisition of @llama, a leading protocol governance platform. From day one, we believed that empowering communities with true ownership and governance was crucial for the future of the internet. As one of Llama's early customers, we experienced firsthand how their technology transformed protocol governance and treasury management. After working closely with @HelloShreyas and @AustinGreen from the Llama team, it became clear that bringing their technology directly into River's infrastructure would create something powerful for our users. This integration means every community and space built on River can now automatically deploy their own fully on-chain DAO with robust treasury management. With tens of thousands of communities already running on Towns, Llama's governance tools will enable key stakeholders to propose, vote, and execute decisions through a secure and transparent system. This is a major step toward our vision of a user-owned and operated internet. Communities will now have unprecedented control over their governance, smart contracts, and treasury operations – all seamlessly integrated into the River protocol. Excited to put governance directly in the hands of our communities and see what they build!
