# Canon DAO Overview

### Opportunity for Conversation

- Quadratic funding calculation to do matching for each of the Yeeters 
- Does the Quadratic Calculation and Yeets into each yeeter based on that calculation 
- Quadratic mechanism is the funding mechanism between Captains DAO and the individual yeeters

## Beyond the Capital Flow 

### Cultural Alignment Flows to Canon & Exit Rights flow to Individual Contributors through the Yeeters
- Individual contributors retaining Accredation & Attribution 
- Canonical Contribution 
- What is a viable contribution but will not be passed as Canon 
- Is it Canon that get's incentivized only, or are there a spectrum of contributions that get valued

**Quadratic Mechanism for Distributing the Value Makes sense**

#### Contributor Flow 

- How are the Captains DAO & Yeeter Connected 
- Proposal in the Yeeter 
- Captains DAO gets to decide whether or not the proposal is Canon (determining Value)
    - CC0 (creating space for remixing & reusing canon in interesting ways where economic value flows back to the canon)
    - Increased attention e.g increased economic activity around the canon (economic royalties flowing back to the canon creators)
- Once passed, that piece becomes Canon 
    - How does Value flow back to the contributor
    - What might be built into that?
        - NFT wrapped compensation?
        - Streaming?
        - NFT Royalties

#### Incentive Mechanisms 
- Attribution & Compensation are working 
- We want to create a change to the Canonical asset 
    - governance structure to be able to ratify that change
    - Transference of the token/symbol to flow back to the original contributor and new contributor at an adjusted level 
        - how does that distribution flow 
- Don't have zero-sum replacement mechanisms 
    - let the market decide
    - Allow the community to signal support and the valuation of the canon to be flexible 
- NFT serves as a reciept for contribution & attribution 
- Harberger Tax
- DAOgroni style transmutations
    - how Moloch can serve
- Moloch v3 and NFTs used as membership
- How Gitcoin is using a DEGEN NFT model, taking the profits from that and putting them toward regenerative public goods 
- Regen Native NFT (something that can alter the incentive - additive to the greenpill campaign)
    - Baking in a pledge to a certain Public Good to signal support and follow up with 

**Making the mechanism approachable for the governerds - helping contributors to know *how* & *why* this is significant**

- What is the process for this project to get funded?

#### Specific Tailoring to Gitcoins Setup

- Using the Devrel setup within DAOhaus to support contributors in Gitcoin flowing into a Gitcoin branded yeeter 
- Compensation could be directly related to the degree that DAOhaus has to help hand-holding

### Value Props for DAOhaus
##### The Positive Feedback Loop & Pattern for DH <> GC
- Recognition, Respect, & Visibility associated with Gitcoin doing this with the help of DAOhaus
- Communication of Community developer capabilities using DAOhaus
- Monetary & Economic flow back in our direction 

#### Phase 1 
- Articulate High Level for Universe Guide itself
