Proposals in Discussion📢 Announcement: Multisig to Unpause Retro FundingOn February 14, 2024, the BanklessDAO Multisig decided to halt all funding activities across the DAO. This decision stemmed from concerns about the long-term sustainability of the DAO, prompting the need for a period of reflection to assess past decisions and plan for the future. As part of this process, the multisig announced the reopening of retroactive funding requests specifically for current tlBANK holders who had minted before November 26, 2023. These requests are aimed at addressing key aspects crucial to the DAO's future:
This proposal is open to feedback and contributions, so please share any concerns or suggestions you may have regarding it on the Forum. A Path Forward: Retro Funding and RevitalizationAuthor: Boluwatife On February 14, 2024, the BanklessDAO multisig made the tough call to pause DAO-wide funding. This decision wasn't made lightly; the multisig believed that the long-term viability of the DAO was at risk, and it was necessary to create some breathing room for the community to reflect on its past and chart a new course forward. During the two-month pause, various DAO activities continued. The Governance Department kept holding weekly calls and retrospectives, the Community Call remained a gathering space for discussions, and the Writers Guild reported on the DAO's state through the Weekly Rollup. Additionally, many other groups and contributors posted proposals and discussions on our governance Forum, shaping the conversation about BanklessDAO's future. The Rationale Behind the PauseThe Multisig team recognized several key points that led to their decision to pause funding and initiate a retrospective process:
The Experiment: tlBANK-gated Retrospective FundingBased on these insights, the multisig has defined a forward-looking experiment — to open up retrospective funding for a smaller, value-aligned group of contributors to accomplish three specific tasks which are:
This group of contributors will be identified by wallets that hold tlBANK (time-locked BANK tokens) minted before November 26, 2023, when brand clarity issues with BanklessHQ began. This is because these contributors have proven long-term value alignment with the DAO by time-locking their tokens with no expectation for future rewards. The Funding ProcessTo facilitate this funding initiative, a new Snapshot space will be created, with access restricted to the group of tlBANK holders. Any funding proposal made by these contributors that aligns with the three tasks mentioned above will be considered. When proposals pass the Snapshot thresholds (simple majority, minimum seven-day voting duration, and public voting), the multisig will vote and disburse approved funding as required. It's important to note that this funding process deviates from the BanklessDAO Constitution, where all funding typically goes through the Grants Committee. However, the multisig believes these actions are necessary for the perpetuity of the DAO, and they plan to amend or update the Constitution once the DAO's future is more certain. Metrics of SuccessTo measure the success of this experiment, the Multisig will track:
Next StepsThis experiment is a temporary step aimed at giving our members the initiative to shape BanklessDAO's future. After running this experiment, the multisig hopes to have a better understanding of the DAO's next steps, which could include:
BanklessDAO's path forward is being paved with introspection and experimentation. Through the retrospective funding initiative, the multisig aims to tap into the collective wisdom of its value-aligned contributors, redefining the DAO's purpose, membership structure, and brand, if necessary. This experiment represents a crucial step in reviving the DAO's spirit and ensuring its perpetuity. As the DAO navigates this critical phase, the community's engagement, innovative ideas, and collaborative efforts will be instrumental in charting a course towards a thriving and sustainable future. We would love to have you in the conversation. Do check out the Forum post and express your thoughts. ⛴️ BanklessDAO Content🧠 Crypto Sapiens🗞 The Rug NewsletterThanks, BoldLeonidas |
