Squads Testnet Upgrade Proposal 2026-05-23

Date: 2026-05-23

This packet records the live Squads proposal that upgrades the Testnet program to the build containing `transfer_dao_authority` and the anonymous governance primitive SDK evidence.

Upgrade Buffer

cluster: `testnet`
program id: `EP9xE8MJZ6FfyEwLqns6HDdUZBknEa7WGYs1Jzsecuva`
program data: `FKyt5DcmRQcCF8kzMGjCvfGb3ZPHMQnH1SqiG9Mi8xEc`
buffer: `HSX3ZK3BzueJnVy4EmrQ5xHUPq3LtXxxaVWuuZqew1Mz`
buffer authority: `CALHrBqx6jbzcPn2NVcinqSAHeod65v9LcDuTxsdPqBv`
target binary sha256: `03f8ceb54a26ab6ea63bab0bcdfcf383058c912d38a3264a850e648cce9433ae`
dumped buffer sha256: `03f8ceb54a26ab6ea63bab0bcdfcf383058c912d38a3264a850e648cce9433ae`

The buffer was uploaded on Testnet, dumped back from chain, and matched byte-for-byte against `target/deploy/private_dao.so` before the buffer authority was transferred to the Squads vault.

Remaining Execution Gate

The proposal is intentionally not marked executed yet. Squads threshold is now satisfied at `2-of-3`. Execution was simulated after the second approval and rejected only by the Squads timelock:

error code: `TimeLockNotReleased`
custom error: `6021`
release target: `2026-05-25T00:31:05Z`

After the timelock releases, execute the vault transaction, then verify:

Only after execution should the DAO authority handoff instruction be called on the live DAO and recorded as a `DaoAuthorityTransferred` signature.
