It's incredibly cumbersome to manage payments and paper work as a multisig entity — to run and crosscheck balance sheets, submit post-event spending reports and stay on track about everything. We should have one place to make it easier to do this simple task.
Paying people and managing post-event follow-ups is a big pain for hackathon managers today in web3. In turn, people get upset when they aren't paid in time which sets a bad precedent for hackathon organizers.
A little more on the problem as I've experienced it:
Have tool for event managers primarily. Make it easier to submit payments to bounty winners (e.g. from hackathons) and team members (e.g. salaries) as a first step. Then, grow the dapp into something that puts the onus on whoever needs to claim a payment to a multisig account.
They submit a call to request their payment and the multisig just needs to approve it. That way, all the curators need to do is verify transactions. This could work for paying salaries, paying out bounties and expenses.
The idea is to have a dapp with a "claim" view and "event manager" view.
1. For claimants: allows anyone to claim a payment. The app handles the price and conversion (for e.g. if the reward is $100 dollars you can chose DOT or USDC). And submits a request of approval to the multisig.
2. For event managers: Manager view can see all the pending transactions to be approved. They can also create a spreadsheet out of them once they're approved. Managers can also submit payments from the multisig. They can also easily construct batch calls in one click.
