### Should Gnosis Partner with DAOhaus to Support DAO tooling on Gnosis Chain?
## Summary

DAOhaus wants to deepen its partnership with GnosisDAO and is requesting $300k USD equivalent in stablecoins or GNO to the DAOhaus Core Contributor DAO, [WarCamp](https://app.daohaus.club/dao/0x64/0xef3d8c4fbb1860fceab16595db7e650cd5ad51c1).

## Abstract/Description

DAOhaus provides purpose driven communities on Gnosis Chain with an open and free to use no-code platform for launching and managing their [Moloch DAOs](https://twitter.com/nowdaoit/status/1521542721948708864?s=20&t=oNs90kv7rIWWe20UYfOCyA).

Based on our activity on Gnosis Chain and previous collaborations with Gnosis, DAOhaus is interested in deepening the partnership between GnosisDAO and DAOhaus by supporting initiatives to drive more activity and communities to the Gnosis Chain ecosystem.

Our goals around making DAO tooling more accessible and composable for both users and developers aligns with Gnosis' goals to attract more users and developers to the Gnosis Chain ecosystem.

We believe Gnosis Chain enhances the cultural relevance of the Ethereum ecosystem and is comparable in cultural legitimacy to Mainnet. DAOhaus is thrilled to support and be supported by Gnosis Chain.

## Motivation/Rationale

We have been referring to Gnosis Chain as the "DAO Chain" for the better part of a year, and it is safe to say that DAOhaus calls Gnosis Chain home.

We are proud contributors to the Gnosis Chain Weekly newsletter, producing a [DAO of the Week](https://hackmd.io/J1eFgrw-QZKI1EctGnLHxQ) piece each week and the [Zodiac DAO wiki](https://zodiac.wiki/index.php/DAOhaus) as early and ongoing contributors of DAO success patterns.

*All of our core operations take place on Gnosis Chain* and DAOhaus has provided DAOs on Gnosis Chain with excellent tooling, bug maintenance, support and a seamless UX - thanks to Gnosis' high tx throughput & low costs.

DAOhaus provides pertinent subgraph infrastructure to the Gnosis Chain ecosystem, where the daohaus-xdai subgraphs [[1](https://thegraph.com/hosted-service/subgraph/odyssy-automaton/daohaus-xdai)] [[2](https://thegraph.com/hosted-service/subgraph/odyssy-automaton/daohaus-stats-xdai)] [[3](https://thegraph.com/hosted-service/subgraph/odyssy-automaton/daohaus-boosts-xdai)] have around ~700k queries per day with no server or IP querying more than ~40k on a given day, resulting in a fairly wide distribution of DAOhaus subgraph queries!

Since 2020, DAOhaus users have created 1k+ DAOs on Gnosis Chain, onboarded 10k+ unique DAO members, submitted 40k+ proposals, and launched 700+ Gnosis Safes through the DAOhaus app. [[1](https://daohaus.club/review/)] [[2](https://dune.com/daohaus/DAOHaus-Analytics)] [[3](https://hackmd.io/T2qx_9HBSuuLObi02ZyN8Q)]

As of 2021, DAOhaus DAOs have had approximately $400M in total value flow through the platform.

A stablecoin or GNO grant from Gnosis DAO would increase our capacity to build more valuable tools for DAOs and ultimately bring more DAOs, users, devs, and talent into the Gnosis Chain ecosystem.

If passed, DAOhaus and Gnosis will enter into a positive and mutually reinforcing collaboration that will sustain growth across the Gnosis Chain ecosystem for years to come.

## Specification

Grant funds will be allocated to three primary areas of focus, each of which supports our larger objective to **bring community-first coordination tools to more human networks**.

### Deliverables and Activities

#### 1. New DAO deployment tools

- Development of a **Safe Summoner App** - enabling multisigs to easily level up into DAOhaus v3 DAOs
- Development of apps/tools for **migrating from DAOhaus v2 to DAOhaus v3**

#### 2. Educational content for DAO users & operators
- Create docs, explainers, and tutorials for new and experienced DAO users & operators
- Focus on common governance patterns, best practices, migration paths and more.

#### 3. Developer advocacy, outreach, and support
*To be executed by the [DAOhaus developer relations](https://forum.daohaus.club/t/hausdao-devrel-progress-report-01/11164) (DevRel) working group*
- Encourage use of the DAOhaus v3 libraries by external development teams
- Provide active integration support & guidance to Gnosis ecosystem developers
- Inform and execute further development of DAOhaus v3 libraries based on developer community needs
- Fund developer grants, bounties, and/or hackathon prizes

#### Overview
Each of the above initiatives will support our goal of onboarding 50-100 new DAOs to Gnosis Chain by Q3 2023. Additionally, these activities will have the following positive impact for Gnosis:
- Provide Gnosis Safe users additional community-oriented options for governing their assets and network
- Provide additional paths for developers to build on Gnosis Chain and Zodiac
- Increase support for developers on Gnosis Chain

## Team

This work will be conducted by Warcamp, the DAO of core contributors to DAOhaus.

*This table represents the current team assembled for executing on the deliverables outlined above. Personnel changes are quick on our team and can be expected in the coming months. We offer this as a soft guideline for how we are thinking about work distribution.*
