Hi @steve the expiry periods were extended in the final proposal, with all contributions apart from a bounty (3 months) or two months of contributing to a socket (6 months) having a 12 month expiry now.

This is much more lenient than beforehand, and the expectation is that PNF will work with the community to onboard more credentials over the 12 months post-launch so that anyone who is 1) capable of delivering impact to the ecosystem and 2) has the interest to do so, should be able to extend their governance power relatively easily within the 12 months after Creds is launched.

> This means that each credential below will earn a vote in the DAO, and that 1 Vote is the maximum power regardless of how many BuilderCredentials someone claims.
