# Gnosis Chain GNO Grant Proposal

This will serve as a review of proposals that have survived through `phase-3` of the GnosisDAO proposal process.

By conducting this review, we will accomplish several things:

1. Prescribe structure & proposal flow
2. Identify common themes of a grant proposal
3. Explain elements of a successful proposal
4. Explore ideas & rational within the specific context of DAOhaus
5. Predict what kind of response we would get from Gnosis based on what we are asking and why
6. [Review & re-articulate](https://hackmd.io/gguUGkaRSJ6JgdBKsFEw5Q?view) the existing proposal
7. How will the GNO be Used?

## Previous Proposals
- DAOStar One [`Phase One`](https://forum.gnosis.io/t/should-gnosisdao-support-the-daostar-standard-and-roundtable/3986)
- DAOStar One [`Phase Two`](https://forum.gnosis.io/t/gip-39-should-gnosisdao-fund-the-daostar-one-initiative/4712)
- Giveth [`Phase One`](https://forum.gnosis.io/t/gnosis-giveth-token-swap/4872)

### Proposal structure & flow

1. Make a proposal to the Gnosis Forum following [this guide](https://forum.gnosis.io/t/readme-gnosisdao-governance-process/736)

3. Start with `Phase-1` (open-ended)
- Garner momentum from community
- Once we have enough steam, move to `phase-2`
4. `Phase-2` Begins (5-days)
- Follow [Template](https://forum.gnosis.io/t/gip-0-template/734)
- Setup Poll on Discourse
- Need relative majority on votes "Let's do this"
5. Move to `Phase-3` setup snapshot (7-days voting)
- must be one outcome with a relative majority of GNO used for signalling on the GnosisDAO Snapshot poll accompanied by a yes-voting quorum of a minimum of 4%[1] of the circulating supply of GNO
- Need majority votes "Let's do this"

### Common Themes between Gnosis DAO proposals:

Successful proposals to GnosisDAO have at least one of the following properties:

- Explicit reference to how GnosisChain or the DAO ecosystem will benefit from supporting the engagement
- Succinct & clear value props
- Appeal to GnosisDAO values
- Convey Alignment between the organizations
- Focus on long-term benefits of the engagment

### Elements of a Successful Proposal

- Being specific & direct
- Why we are Motivated to do this?
- Provide GnosisDAO with an overview of the opportunity and why we think this will generate so much value
- What is the benefit to GnosisDAO / GnosisChain
- How will value flow back to gnosis, what specific metrics can we pull on to drive this home? Can we estimate value returned to GnosisChain?
- Who is involved?
- These are the parties involved in the partnership e.g., Warcamp, DAOhaus, GnosisDAO, Wildfire, etc.
- Who or what are you trying to drive value to?
- This is where the grant funds shoud ultimately go to support whatever it is that we want to incentivize on Gnosis Chain - what is the # we are asking for and why, how will it be applied, etc.

- How are we going to execute on our strategy and achieve our objectives?

### Explore ideas & rational within the specific context of DAOhaus

- Provide a specific GNO amount requested
- $1M USD in GNO
- Alignment with GnosisChain & Gnosis ecosystem
- DAO-chain
- DAOhaus built on top of Gnosis-Safe Zodiac (v3)
- 50%< of our DAOs are deployed on GC
- How we are budgeting the usage of GNO
- Retro Public goods funding Yeeter
- Sustaining DAOhaus development
- Liquidity incentives?
- Run Gnosis Beacon chain validators / Stakewise
- Highlight Value props of DAOhaus
- Governance
Power up your DAO's governance needs
Payments - Manage all your DAO's payment inflows & outflows
Finance - Manage and grow your DAO's treasury
NFTs - Manage all the NFT needs for your DAOs (collecting, buying, selling, etc.)
Dev Tools - Suite of tools for developers to build custom solutions for the DAO
Membership - Manage members, loot and shares in your DAO
- Identify where DAOhaus has already driven value to in the GnosisChain ecosystem (be explicit) - specific metrics
- Use data collected by UI
- Provide a timeline for how long it will take to achieve our goals
- 1-2 years
- How we are going to go about achieving those goals (more granularity)
- x funds go to a, y funds to b, z funds to c
- determined by the council (gnosis safe signers within UberHaus - wc - daohaus - wildfire - gnosisdao?)

### What kind of response we would get from Gnosis based on what we are asking and why

### How will the GNO be Used?

- GNO Can be used to sustain our development a
- GNO - Supply liquidity (providing rewards to those pools)
- Redistribute GNO through Retroactive Public Goods built on Gnosis-Chain
- Yeeter Funding

`phase-2`

# Summary

DAOhaus wants to initiate a partnership and grant proposal with Gnosis and is requesting $500k USD equivalent in GNO to [WarCamp](https://app.daohaus.club/dao/0x64/0xef3d8c4fbb1860fceab16595db7e650cd5ad51c1).

# Abstract/Description

DAOhaus provides purpose driven communities on Gnosis Chain an open and free to use no-code platform for launching and managing their [Moloch DAOs](https://twitter.com/nowdaoit/status/1521542721948708864?s=20&t=oNs90kv7rIWWe20UYfOCyA).

Based on our activity on Gnosis Chain and previous collaborations with Gnosis, DAOhaus is interested in furthering the partnership between GnosisDAO and DAOhaus, supporting initiatives to drive more activity and communities to the Gnosis ecosystem.

Our goals in making DAO tooling more accessible and composable for both users and developers matches well with Gnosis' goal to bring in more users and developers to the Gnosis Chain ecosystem.

We believe Gnosis Chain supplements the cultural relevance of Ethereum and is approaching cultural legitimacy with Mainnet. DAOhaus is thrilled to support and be supported by Gnosis Chain.

# Motivation/Rationale

We have been referencing Gnosis Chain as "DAO chain" for the better part of a year, and it is safe to say that DAOhaus calls Gnosis Chain home. All of our core operations take place on Gnosis Chain, and DAOhaus has provided DAOs on Gnosis Chain with excellent tooling, bug maintenance, support, as well as a seamless UX - thanks to the high tx throughput & low costs.

Since 2020, DAOhaus users have created +1k DAOs on Gnosis Chain, onboarded +10k unique DAO members, submitted +39k proposals, and launched +1k Gnosis Safes through the DAOhaus app.

In 2021 DAOhaus DAOs had $415M in total value flow across the platform.

We created [PoolHAUS](https://medium.com/daohaus-club/poolhaus-and-decentralised-liquidity-provision-ced87ffe656) on Gnosis Chain, a Decentralized Liqudity Provision experiment using Moloch DAOs and Gnosis Safes, where we managed $1M in liquidity as DAO on [Swapr](https://swapr.eth.link/) and generated over 78% returns to members in under 6 months.

Gnosis DAO offering GNO to support DAOhaus would be a major boon for both DAOhaus and the wider Gnosis Chain ecosystem, opening the floodgates for DAOs to use GNO in a variety of ways e.g (providing liquidity, incentivizing contributors, funding new projects, etc).

A partnership between GnosisDAO and DAOhaus could take the Gnosis Chain ecosystem to another level, bringing in more users, devs, and talent to build and experiment with dapps across Gnosis Chain.

The learnings from our partnership and subsequent collaborations could act as a beacon for how DAO2DAO collaborations can work and drive substantial value to projects cross-pollinating ecosystems in this new way.

If passed, both DAOhaus and GnosisDAO will enter into an incredibly positive and mutually reinforcing collaboration that will sustain growth across the Gnosis Chain ecosystem for years to come.

# Specification

Together with Gnosis DAO, we will enlist a council making up stakeholders from both Gnosis and DAOhaus to distribute funds toward each of the initiatives outlined in the [Budget Breakdown](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vYvmuKLHJryvXdtnw5MVUeFoWcfMiNEEqBrA-u19E-4/edit#gid=0), funding which will be allocated over the course of 6-12 months.

1. DAOhaus will create a council with representatives from Gnosis DAO and DAOhaus.
2. The council will create a Safe Minion with early execution that is responsible for managing and distributing the grant funds.
3. Gnosis DAO will send $1M worth of GNO to the [Safe Minion]() on Gnosis Chain to be distributed acccordingly.

**The council will focus on distributing incentives for:**

- Sustaining DAOhaus Development (be more specific above)
- Focus: Things we want to build to onboard new DAOs
- **DevRel (bringing new devs to build on GC & Zodiac / Baal)**
side benefits:
- Continue onboarding new DAOs
- More DAOs storing funds in Gnosis Safe & Zodiac in the migration path
- Safe Summoner App
2. Beta test Moloch v3 with new communities
3. By EOY Launch 100s more DAOs etc

1. Migration Tools / Upgrade apps from v2 --> v3
- Safe Summoner App
- Increasing the value prop of Gnosis Safe into a full DAO (DH DAOs are sticky!)
2. Educational content for DAO users & coordinators
- includes migration path docs & tutorials
- Coordinator / operator content
3. Developer Content / DevRel support
- include funds for DevGrants (hackathon type funding)

The council will fund communities or projects that are using DAOhaus on Gnosis Chain.

In order to receive funding, projects must clearly articulate through a RFP (Request For Proposal) how their product or service will serve to benefit one of the 4 objectives outlined above, with concrete deliverables and timelines expressed in the proposal using [this template](https://hackmd.io/TMrV7ad-RMCtQ5xkKOnKhQ?view).

###### Chris' notes

### Blockscout Statistics

Contract was called 1569 times as of 18 July 2022
21 failed, therefore 1548 DAOs have been summoned on Gnosis chain (there is a discrepency with dune analytics showing a higher number. It appears to me that the numbers include the failed transactions.
