DAOHaus <> Arbitrum Invoke App Proposal

# DAOHaus <> Arbitrum Invoke App Proposal ###### tags: `Proposals` `invoke` ## Overview Arbitum has demonstrated support for DAOhaus with a 75,000 $ARB airdrop. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">DAOhaus is proud to receive an airdrop from <a href="https://twitter.com/arbitrum?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@arbitrum</a><br><br>100% of tokens will be used for participation in governance and incentives for launching new DAOs and tooling with our protocol on Arbitrum 🚀<br><br>We've scheduled two workshops for this Friday to help builders out 🤝 <a href="https://t.co/EYY3Ig3aH6">pic.twitter.com/EYY3Ig3aH6</a></p>— DAOhaus (@nowdaoit) <a href="https://twitter.com/nowdaoit/status/1638592666224177154?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 22, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> With the security guarantees of Ethereum, low costs, and fast transactions this network has immense potential for DAO capabilities. The growth in DeFi on this L2 is impressive. These protocols have significant treasuries and would benefit from Moloch governance. ### Problems Digital communities on Arbitrum are unaware of the benefits of hard-governance. The current summoner app demo at [summon.daohaus.club](https://summon.daohaus.club/) exposes all potential variables for initializing a DAO and can be overwhelming for inexperienced users. As a result, some of the options can lead to less than optimal settings that affect DAO's operations. ### Opportunity Create a summoning app that reduces resistance in deploying DAO contracts on the Arbitrum network. Make it fast for organizations to get started and easier to understand the basic configuration. There is a need for a Moloch v3 DAO launching tool that provides an easy way to create safer initial DAO setups. While showing what is possible with the DAOhaus stack we may also share why these decisions are important. Once deployed, provide links to connecting with DAOhaus for administration and support, and Bootleggers for customization. ### Solution Our proposed solution creates a wizard walking users through the summon transaction and providing more context and education on each field they need to fill out. We will default some advanced fields and provide suggestions to other fields to ensure that sensible and safe values are used, reducing complexity for users. The following are the specific steps needed to achieve our proposed solution: 1. Design and develop a user-friendly stepper form guiding users through the DAO launch process. 2. Default some advanced fields and provide suggestions for other fields to ensure that sensible and safe values are used. 3. Provide more detailed next steps after summoning to help setup DAO operators for success and engagement. 4. Test the stepper form with a group of users to ensure that it is easy to use and effective in creating safer initial DAO setups. 5. Iterate on the design and functionality of the summon wizard based on user feedback. ### Expected Outcome The proposed Moloch v3 DAO launching tool will result in increased DAO summonings on the Arbitrum network. The easy-to-use wizard will guide users through the process of creating safer initial DAO setups by providing more context and education on each field they need to fill out. This, in turn, helps promote engagement and success among DAO operators, and ultimately contributes to the growth of the DAO ecosystem. Documenting this process allows us to set an internally facing precedent for how to iterate upon the DAOhaus SDK and formalize best practices for adapting novel builds for targeted use cases. Lastly, documentation will inform our collective marketing efforts by generating foundational content for disseminating to the wider DAOhaus community. Standardizing this practice and demonstrating a simple procedure will help encourage others to do the same in their own projects. ### Implementation Details - New summon app using DAOhaus protocol libraries - Deployed for Abritrum DAO summoning - "Easy mode" summon form - Provisionally exploring the following enhancements in UX - "Hard mode" link to summon.daohaus.club - Guide user through steps: name, tokens, proposal timing, members - Hide/default advanced fields: token transferability, advanced governance, shamans - More user friendly member fields - Settings confirmation step - Contextual content: tooltips/education/examples - Next steps content after summoning - Request to get listed as a verified app on daohaus.club and in daohaus docs ## Deliverables - Design UX/UI - UX testing and iteration - Content creation - UX copy - UI Development - Deployment and hosting ## Budget ~~Requesting 6500 at $1.50usd per ARB~~ ~~Requesting 7500 at $1.30usd per ARB~~ Requesting 9000 at $1.10usd per ARB ## Team Ξ2T - Product/Design/Development TW - Design SK - Development
