# Phase 2: Foothold

In our second phase, our DAO will already have:

* A large holder and follower count
* A large group of engaged and capable contributors
* Transferred its treasury wallet to a multisig operated by select DAO members
* A track record of technical expertise, and operational excellence in testnets & mainnets
* Be a top relayer and rpc provider

This foundation will give us leverage to join highly coveted testnets.

Generally, testnet participation ultimately leads to a genesis mainnet spot with foundation delegations, and is pretty much the only way that you can enter most new chains with a cap on validator count unless you're an investor.

Thus, in this phase, we will be heads-down working on above-and-beyond participation in testnets on from a technical perspective, but also from a marketing perspective.

Expect this in Q1-Q2 2024
