Proposals process

Overview

The life-cycle of most proposals is as follows:

  1. A DAO member puts forward an idea of something the DAO could purchase.
  2. Discussion and agreement / disagreement signalling regarding the idea takes place.
  3. At their own discretion a DAO member with a "Mutant Ape" or "Crazy Ape" role can promote the idea to a discord proposal for the DAO to vote on.
  4. A DAO member with "Crazy Ape" role can create a snapshot vote at any time during this process to take an official APED-token weighted vote.

The above process can be bypassed at the discretion of the Ape Council informal consensus if, for example, a purchase needs to made more quickly than the normal proposals process would allow.

The DAO's snapshot page shows any current and historical proposals

Process steps

DAO members puts forward a purchase idea

Any DAO member can suggest purchase ideas in the #purchase-ideas channel and put forward a case as to why they think a particular purchase is a good idea. Consider discussing the following points:

  • Why you think the purchase makes sense
  • Should we buy single or multiple items?
  • Is the current price attractive or should we make lower offers or wait for better prices?
  • Is this a short term flip or long term hold?
  • Does the asset require any active management?

Discussion of the idea

Discussion of the idea can then take place in the same channel to help DAO members think about the risks / opportunities and form opinions.

Promotion to discord vote

At their own discretion a DAO member with the role "Mutant ape" or "Crazy ape" may create an official discord vote in the #proposals channel. This channel will be restricted to emoji voting on proposals using and :thumbsup: and :thumbsdown:. This is an optional step used to more clearly gauge the position of the DAOs members on a discord proposal.

Promotion to snapshot vote

A DAO member with the "Crazy ape" role can at any time create a snapshot vote which allows all DAO members to vote with their APED token balance proportionately.
