## FAQ 🌶️
- **What is MetaCartel?**
- It seems there is no official one-liner. But you can find your own answer starting from the [manifesto](https://www.metacartel.org/manifesto) and [lore](https://www.metacartel.org/lore), or by taking a leap of faith and just joining the Cartel!
- cf) [MetaCartel Ventures](https://metacartel.xyz/) is a seperate Venture DAO in the Meta-family
- **What is Moloch? Why is everyone talking about the god of child sacrifice?**
- Simply put, it symbolizes our 'coordination failure' that we all come to slay. Inspired by the writing ["MEDITATIONS ON MOLOCH"](https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/30/meditations-on-moloch/). It is also a DAO framework that's explained in ["What the devil are Moloch DAOs, and why should you care?"](https://daohaus.mirror.xyz/U_JQtheSzdpRFqQwf9Ow3LgLNG0WMZ6ibAyrjWDu_fc)

- **How do I make a proposal in DAOhaus?**
- There is a [tutorial](https://daohaus.club/docs/users/proposals/#proposal-process), and if it doesn't answer the question, ask away in the [#🚑-help-request](https://discord.gg/NEKCqtgrNY) channel in MetaCartel Discord
- **Somethings wrong with my membership proposal?!**
- It takes a while for DAO your fresh made proposal to be seen on the list. Give it a day.
- Plus, you need existing member’s sponsorship of 25wxdai to get out of the spam filter.
- If you want to edit the proposal, there is no other way but to cancel the existing one and resubmit. It's onchain!
- **What if I don't get the membership share after pledging ETH? What happens to my ETH?**
- Funds can be withdrawn after you cancel the proposal. Then, go to the profile page and click the withdraw button.
