# Coordinape Guide Outline
Braindump from the discussion in #open-chat about what to add to our docs about Coordinape. 

*Actual docs page content below this section*

## Topics From Chat

- what is Coordinape and how we use it
- epochs/mechanics -- needing to opt in, needing to give to get allocations, etc.
- explanation of how giveHAUS relates to a HAUS distribution and how this relates to proposals  folks can put up for shares
- "Feels a little more like why than how. Maybe we need another one walking through the process, when we do it, what you need to do and the things like "Please remember you have to give to receive."
- "$giveHAUS is really just offchain points"

## What is Coordinape?
[Coordinape](https://coordinape.com/) is a tool deveoped by Yearn Finance that DAOs can use for assessing contributions and distrubuting compensation rewards for value provided.   

## How Does DAOhaus Use Coordinape?
Warcamp uses Coordinape to distribute 600 $HAUS tokens among all contributors on a monthly basis, regardless of whether they are on the Commitment or Retroactive tracks.

Not only are we putting $HAUS in contributors' hands, determining bonuses via intersubjective evaluation, Coordinape offers a bottom-up and decentralized approach to:

- **Holding each contributor accountable** to their Value and Commitment Levels as the Compensation Cycles progress
- Creating a framework to help contributors **assess themselves and peers in terms of personal growth and development**

> For instance, if an L3 contributor on the Commitment Track has received more giveHAUS than their L3 peers, this could be a signal that they’ve been over-delivering and should be leveled up to L4. Conversely, If someone on a Commitment Track received fewer giveHAUS than their peers, this could be a signal for us to help them better hit their Value Level or review the right Compensation track for them.

As we go through more Compensation Cycles, we are looking to experiment with different amounts of giveHAUS per person, perhaps in proportion to their commitment % (for Commitment track) or the previous month’s received giveHAUS (for Retroactive track).

Our goal is to create a system that accurately and fairly evaluates the contributions and capabilities of Warcamp contributors in a non-hierarchical setting, informing contributors’ Bonus Compensation in the short term as well the evolution of their Base Compensation over the long term.

## Steps
These steps assume that you've been added to the DAOhaus Coordinape Circle. If you (or someone else you've worked with) need to be added, [please vouch](https://app.coordinape.com/vouching) for who it is that needs to be added

Each month, a new **epoch** will begin on the 22nd day and last for **7 days**. This is the time during which you will need to complete your allocations. 

Remember, if you've *Opted In* and don't allocate any giveHAUS you won't be eligible to receive any $HAUS!

You'll only be able to allocate giveHAUS to your Teammates. You can't self-allocate -- this is intentional.


1. Go to https://app.coordinape.com/ and connect your wallet to Mainnet. You'll be asked to *sign a transaction* to log in.
2. **My Epoch**: Once connected, you can optionally describe the work you've done this epoch and decide to *Opt In* to the `giveHAUS` distribution:

    - If you want to be eligible to receive HAUS for the epoch you'll need to make sure you've Opted In.
3. Click **Continue with Current Settings** when ready to move on.
4. **Select Team**: You'll see a list of Teammates who opted in. Select folks to add them to your team. You'll then be able to allocate `giveHAUS` to them.

5. Click on **Save Teammate List** when ready to move on. You'll be asked to *sign a transaction* to save your Teammate list.
6. Click on the **- and + buttons** on each Teammate to set (and adjust) your giveHAUS allocations. You can set these all at once or come back to it throughout the epoch. You can add a note for each Teammate if you'd like.

7. Make sure to click **Save Allocations** to save! You'll be asked to *sign a transaction* to save your allocations. If you don't click this before the end of the epoch your allocations won't save.

Once your allocations are saved you'll be eligible to receive as well.

## Staking For Shares
DAOhaus Warcamp members are able to stake *up to 100%* of the $HAUS received from the Coordinape allocation for Warcamp shares at a rate of **0.1 HAUS per share**. To learn more about this process, check out the [Earn Power](https://daohaus.club/docs/handbook/contributors/compensation/earn-power) page in our contributor docs.

## Feedback

- How does this relate to [Bonus Compensation](https://daohaus.club/docs/handbook/contributors/compensation/overview#2-bonus-compensation)?
- Title :bulb:: `Get Tipped`
- Need to mention this is the first step to becoming a core contributor. Going through a Coordinape epoch is required proior to track selection
- What is an epoch?
- When is this done?
- How is the Disperse handled? When to expect it/Will I be notified?
