Hi,
I’ve been doing some reading/experimenting on which existing tools would fit better for our needs and thus can be used to deploy a DAO for the Ambassador’s program + build a mechanism for token distribution that incentivises members to contribute to the community.
Core Ideas
- Ambassadors DAO: Deploy a DAO on-chain where ambassadors can submit+vote on proposals, manage how the community funding pool is distributed, create/work on bounties that help to grow the ecosystem (articles, use cases, PoC, protocol integrations, etc)
- Incentivized airdrops for contributors: by integrating off-chain voting through Discourse with on-chain governance so ambassadors can cast their vote on the best contributions each month
- Build a community leaderboard: use a mechanism to score community members by their contributions. Part of the community fund pool would be used to airdrop monthly winners
Next, I’ll be posting some links to literature & tools that would be used to kickstart this initiative. In the following days, I’ll be posting some pros/cons of each tool/implementation
Ambassadors DAO
- The DAOCanvas: A collaborative design tool to help us on the design decisions to successfully deploy a DAO
- Fantastic12: simplified MolochDAO for start collaborating on bounties in one click
- AragonDAO: extensible + easy to deploy DAOs.
-
MolochDAO V2: minimum viable DAO
- DAOHaus: Summon your own MolochDAO in a few clicks
- DAO Stack: start building DAOs using the DAOstack framework
- SignalDAO idea: an effective way to signal interest
Community Funding Pool & Token Distribution
Token distribution for ambassadors & engaged community members could be calculated using a reputation mechanism such as SourceCred. Here’s an article that perfectly summarizes what SourceCred is, how it works, and how it can be applied to our community:
