# Application Notes

- We need to communicate how much DAOhaus is building upon Gnosis Safe. It's like a sibling relationship with Gnosis Safe being the big brother and DAOhaus as the little bro.
- We need to focus on ellaborating upon the strong foundation that we have already laid with expanding DAOhaus to Moloch v3 contracts. This DAOhaus apps are basically a Zodiac module and puts Gnosis Safe at the center of our universe.
- We want to create better UIs and an overall better UX to make everything generally more human readable. We think accessible design is important for reaching the widest and most diverse communities and users.
- We have a rich history with Gnosis. At our peak, DAOhaus v2.5 had the most queried subgraphs on Gnosis Chain.
- We should be careful to maintain the conceptual separation between Gnosis Chain and Gnosis Safe. They are now two separate entities. DAOhaus, Moloch DAOs, and Gnosis Safe are chain agnostic, not bound to building on Gnosis Chain.
- We will constrain the scope of this proposal to a specific chain for proof of concept so that we can continue to pursue grants from other chains in the future.

### Specific Project Idea

- We propose to build an Explore App in incorporate into the suite of DAOhaus v3 apps.
- We have already conducted indepth comparative analysis of "explore" dashboard-related features across numerous DAO platforms and have a clear understanding of the most significant patterns and features.
- Explore App will add visibility and discoverability to the myriad of DAOs summoned on Moloch v3. This will include features to search and filter by treasury, members, and participation (proposals).
- An Explore app will nicely compliment our forthcoming easy-mode Summoner app. Our extended roadmap would entail deploying to all chains to allow for visibility of the Moloch/Safe network across numerous ecosystems.
- In addition, we will push the latest version of the DAOhaus v3 app to the Gnosis Safe app store to encourage new DAO summons through the Safe interface. This will help close the loop on the itegral handshake between our communities and make adding expanded governance to Safes more intuitive than ever.
- The value to our projects is simple. More DAOhaus DAOs equals more Safe users. The value to Safe users is robust battle test on-chain governance from the Moloch contracts.

### Scratch

- Multichain explorer
    - Supplemented by a Summoner app for all chains
    - DH app in the Safe app store
- Critical features:
    - Search
    - Filters:
        - amount of members
        - how much money they have
        - how many proposals the DAO has
- DH needs a v3 app available in the Gnosis Safe app store.
    - Submit a PR to the Safe Github
    - Won't require much of a dev lift, more of a social lift
    - Should push the simply summoner (Invoke) to the app store to optimize for best possible UX
- Price breakdown and personnel:
    - Development team: Bootleggers
    - Research squad: Jeremy
    - Dev Consulting: Dekan, Santiago?
    - Politicking, Social Coordination: Jeremy

### Total Ask
- $40-50k


Dev Lift scope from Dekan:
- Submitting a PR to the Gnosis Safe app store
- A second for the Zodiac app store/standards
- Promote this launch in our explorer app. Builds a substantial relationship with the Gnosis Safe community, so the politics are essential to consider.
- $40-50 seems high. Maybe $20k for the dev lift, all included. Including:
    - Build out of a new open source app with the composable components of our SDK
    - Scope of explore features is dependent on UX features/details.
    - Already have the graphs.
    - New front end UI
    - Additional metrics, metadata, etc. would expand the scope.
    - Key features of the Explorer App:
        - Displaying connected chain
        - Filter by membership/addresses
        - How many proposals, size of treasure, how many members: data pov via pagination
        - Or relational pov: what DAOs a certain addresses is in, visualizing the social connection between individual DAOs
        - Expanded filtering of the existing `Hub` app
        - Differentiate between test DAOs and those that are highly active
- Total budget for just dev lift: $30k
- *Double this amount if KYC+contract is required* =  need to clarify if there are any strings

#### Draft Answers

<!--
**Project Description (100 words max)**
DAOhaus, building upon the Gnosis Safe architecture, seeks to enhance DAO discoverability through the development of an `Explore App`. Integrated into DAOhaus v3 suite, the app will leverage our foundation in Moloch v3 contracts, offering greater visibility and facilitating intuitive searches. This initiative, in tandem with our forthcoming easy-mode `Summoner app`, complements our ongoing commitment to user-centric design, promoting wider user engagement.

**Benefits to the Safe Ecosystem (100 words max)**
By fostering the growth of DAOhaus DAOs, our project will organically boost the Safe user base. The deployment of DAOhaus v3 app on the Gnosis Safe app store will stimulate new DAO creations through the Safe interface, strengthening ties between our communities. Moreover, the integration of the `Explore App` will enrich the Safe ecosystem, offering users enhanced discoverability of DAOs and intuitive search capabilities. Safe users will benefit from robust, battle-tested on-chain governance provided by the Moloch contracts, underlining our mutual commitment to versatile, chain-agnostic operations.

**How the Funds Will Be Used (100 words max)**
The grant funding will be directed towards the design, development, and implementation of the `Explore App`, which forms a key part of our strategy to enhance user interfaces and the overall user experience. Additionally, the funds will support the deployment of the latest DAOhaus v3 app version to the Gnosis Safe app store. This grant will ensure that our suite of tools is comprehensive and readily accessible to users. Ultimately, these funds will be instrumental in realizing our commitment to fostering a more intuitive and interconnected DAO ecosystem.

Feedback to integrate:

- 1. Stronger reference to the fact that DH v3 is entirely built on Safe 
- 2. The explorer app is a DAO aggregator for all moloch DAOs running on Safe.
- 2. DH/moloch augments an existing safe with nuanced governance tools.


To come later:
- Laying the infrastructure to build and push additional Zodiac modules

Rewrite:

**Project Description (100 words max)**

Entirely built on Gnosis Safe, DAOhaus aims to develop an `Explorer` app, a unique DAO aggregator that showcases all Moloch DAOs operating on Safe. Incorporated into the DAOhaus v3 suite alongside our forthcoming easy-mode `Summoner` app, this initiative leverages Moloch v3 contracts and fosters a commitment to accessible, user-centric design. Our goal is to boost DAO discoverability and facilitate intuitive searching and filtering to encourage wider user engagement for our combined ecosystems.

**Benefits to the Safe Ecosystem (100 words max)**

We will deploy `Explorer` to the Gnosis Safe app store to boost the user base of our combined communities. `Explorer` enhances DAO visibility by streamlining searches and filters to key metrics, while also expanding discoverability by visualizing social connections between DAOs and their users. Our collaboration augments Safe with powerful, nuanced governance tools provided by Moloch contracts, further emphasizing our joint commitment to simple and powerful chain-agnostic governance.
