RG<>MolochDAO Season 3 Cohort

tags: RaidGuild MolochDAO

Overview

Each of the following are conceived as tasks ($6k each) but we might organize them into projects (3 @ $10k each) - we need clarity on the RG definition of these terms/scope.

5 tasks @ $6k/ea = $30k

We will begin with $20k for the season3 sponsorship, with a portion dedicated to incentivizing MGD members to take up the projects

Bonus for MGD (or female non-tech) Contributors

  • Moloch will dedicate a small fund to incentivize female apprentices of RaidGuild to take on MolochDAO projects
  • Would love to consult on what seems appropriate. Initial idea:
    • $500 per successful contributor x4 = $2k total
  • Since Ann, Zayi, and Travis (aka ReallyBoringGuild) are also all MGD members, we will be working both sides to try to increase female apprentices this season

Handbook

Scribe, Monk, Ranger, Mystic Alchemist, Healer

  • Requires focus on content and structure, based on current minimum viable handbook (a work in progress that will be made public soon)
  • Might begin with an ecosystem-wide handbook audit to create a "State of the DAO" report, based on the work that earth2travis and Amos (arentweall) has already done
  • Audit might be confined to the MC ecosystem, or expanded beyond
  • Focuses on functionality already outlined in handbooks, appropriating and adapting for Moloch's needs (so as to avoid reinventing the wheel), specifically for a grant awarding DAO
  • Development of a Docusaurus handbook framework
  • Custodial design of the DAO doc repository to facillitate open-source "living document" community contributions moving forward
  • Investigate and provide recommendations for the ongoing incentivization of Moloch working groups
  • There is already a lot of planning on the scope and details of this handbook that can be shared with apprentices - it's an ongoing project that we want to take to the next level with outside contributors

Visual Design System

Archer, Ranger

  • Create from scratch the design system for the DAO
  • Open-source repository so future contributors can easily make changes - Figma?
  • Wireframes with example layouts (related to website project)
  • Research Moloch lore, correlate to aesthetics, balance between the offensive punk/metal imagery with a more digestible public-facing presentation
    Timeline: Dec 31, 2021

New/Updated MolochDAO.com Website

Archer, Ranger, Warrior, Cleric

  • Currently hosted on Webflow (no coding necessary for non-tech contributors)
  • Can be migrated to a custom site
  • Deliverables might include wireframes of new site, or be expanded into a more comprehensive UX report that preceeds the design phase to explore the MV functionality of a grant awarding DAO
  • Requires an audit of existing Moloch material, revamp of sitemap to identify excesses: minimum viable website
  • Incorporates visual design system

Grant Administration & Strategy

Angry Dwarf, Monk, Healer, Druid, Cleric

Annual Report

  • Investigate 2021 grant history - estimate how much was spent on grants. (Requires understanding shares.)
  • Help create profiles of the 2021 grantees highlighting their accomplishments & what the grant enabled (impact) - and create social media versions of these.
  • Contribute to a budget sustainability model for MolochDAO. Format will be laid out.
  • Form a working group on regenerative strategies for the treasury and create some actionable recommendations.
  • Create a template for an annual report in a polished format consistent with Moloch design. Outline will be provided.
  • Provide updates to the appropriate sections of the handbook
  • Assist in research and Moloch community conversation of 2022 grant focus for inclusion in the annual report.

Grant Strategy

  • Assist in defining guiding principles of the Moloch grant pipeline.
  • Identify DAO-to-DAO collaborations and areas of common interest, where Moloch can contribute to and participate in the ecosystem, creating impact and learning.
  • Curation of grant projects in a punk ethos: radical transparency, sacrifice of the self for the greater good via retroactive public goods funding initiatives, ongoing solarpunk (post-doom) support for Ethereum, etc.

Grant Admin

  • Articulate a work description or workstream: grant administrator role for one or more people to fill.
  • Streamline the application procedure including back end - type form, airtable, on-chain data. Identify simplications that make it simpler to apply, simpler to process grants, and which is transparent to Moloch members.
  • Bonus: recreate the current RBG payments system to streamline monthly payments and create more transparency to the DAO.

Community Facillitation / Strategy

Tavern Keeper, Bard, Hunter, Scribe, Healer

  • Requires theory (strategy) and action (admin). Internal ops audit, research, and consultation. Report might outline actionable steps, or be handed off to another marketing DAO/entity.
  • Ground-up strategy pertaining to community building, outreach, marketing, DAO-to-DAO collaborations, etc.
  • Creation of a unified voice for Discord, Discourse, Twitter, and other social channels - working closely with the Visual Design System team?
  • Articulate best practices and codes of conduct for community engagement
  • Brand strategy! Marketing strategy to identify the primary needs and pain points of the DAO, how to best attend to them in a public facing campaign, resulting in visual design directions
  • Draft a report that will allow RBG to continue to recruit specific specializations
  • Working with the Annual Report group to define future strategies
  • Articulate internal incentivization schemes for working groups (like RBG), curate contributions inclusively with a focus on diversity of perspective and experience (both technical and non-tech)
  • One eye looking in (internal ops) and one eye looking out (outreach)
  • Bonus: Working towards the articulation of a new internal role, focused on:
    • Internal ops designing for inclusivity
    • Identification of incentives that attract diverse contributors and value/keep facillitator roles
    • Critique of DAO infrastructure (beyond MolochDAO?) to improve internal ops (ala Healer)
    • Sustained investigation of the need for a DAO HR-esque role
    • Moderate without policing: expand upon decentralized moderation, to orchestrate diverse voices without inhibiting/exclusing through code of conduct
    • Ongoing research on inclusive design, porous cultural strategy, and transparent reportage disseminated through content production (blog articles, forum posts, Discord discussions)

ReallyBoring Funding Proposal: Q2 2022

First rough draft March 21, 2022 Core Elements List RBG&apos;s accomplishments since the last funding round (summer 2021). Can be pulled from the annual report. Create a short list of objectives that we hope to accomplish over the next year. Includes an approximation of monthly ops budget based on a new set of priorities (listed below) in relation to historical costs. This number should be lower since our lift is lower. Grant might be deposited into the RBG multisig, used to fund ad hoc contributors. Alternatively, the funds might be bridged to xDAI to reduce gas and coordination costs for the group. Roadmap Illustrating Specific Task Lists Insert roadmap image.

Handbook Changes Tasklist

See BorrowLucid/handbook for in progress updates. https://molochdao.gitbook.io/handbook/vision-and-values/manifesto This is appropriated from another DAO handbook. I mimicked the form and changed the content to Moloch attitude. It has some blatant errors to reconsider: Moloch does not have investors. There are no VCs, no angels, no SPACs, and no SPVs that are pulling the strings in the background. Is this true?
