# RIP Proposal Sacred Oath (aka Stake and Commit v2)

## Project Idea
The goal of this RIP is to build on the learnings of RIP 75: Raid Commitment Staking and Bonus Rewards, to establish a accountability system for Raid Guild. Diverging from RIP 75, we intend to have individual staking for each Raid/RIP, a single staking contract for Membership.

This Oath would be the next step in the path to membership, following the Rite of Moloch SBT. Similarly to RoM, we purpose that the staking mechanism be interoperable with Moloch DAOs.

## Summary
### Deliverables
1. Research (Scope Doc, RIP proposal, Votes)
2. Creation of the Sacred Oath Staking contracts and pool
3. Creation of the Sacred Oath SBT
4. Gating Raid and RIP Channels

### Why should we build this?
**Consistency of Commitments:** There have been some (but not many) explicit commitment failures in previous Raids. A couple instances where key people left a raid unexpectedly. We expect this to increase as Raid Guild increases in size

**Cleric and Monk QoL:** Clerics and Monks would feel more confident in setting up raids and negotiating with clients on budget and timing if they could be more confident about the commitment of Raiders. With the OATH they would have a pool of personnel to draw from

**Raid Guild Scalability:** Better data about commitment history, and eventually availability. There may be more issues with Raider commitment the larger we grow

**RAID Token Utility:** As a secondary goal, additional utility and demand for RAID token. Establish $RAID as the bonding element in RG.



### Anything Else
1. Tying this commitment to a SBT or NFT would enable the gating of the discord
2. The blood of the fallen, from Oath slashers as well as sacrifices to the Rite of Moloch, would be pooled together. This could be tied to the tithe pool from the Alliance Network to back the $RAID Token
3. Mechanism for Denoting Active vs Inactive Members. With on-chain events showing Rader participation we can establish am additional layer of Member status without asking all members for a 2nd tithe.  
### Team
Sasquatch - Research, UX, Tokenomics
plor - Research, PM
Bitbeckers - Research, Smart Contract
### Cost
Phase 1: Research = $1.5k (estimated 30hrs @ 50/hr)
+ Review of RIP 75, Analysis of findings, Interview with RIP participants (10hrs)
+ General Poles and targerted Interviews with Guild Participants (4hrs)
+ Snapshot voting on implementation, staking amounts (2hr)
+ Experimental Design (scoping of tech, goals and success metrics) (14hrs)

Phase 2: Building = Dependent on Research (estimated at $6500, based on RoM budget w/o UI & front end)
### Timeline
- 1 week = Research 
- 2 weeks = Building
