[PROPOSAL] GRAPE DAO REWARDS: Bounty Template

[Arximedis]

Type: Article
Title: Measuring Decentralization or “DAOiness” of DAOs
Funding: Pre-Funded
Max Reward (Complete): 150,000 $GRAPE
Date Created: 04/14/22
Date Complete: 05/31/22
Restrictions: (Excluded Country/Topics/Projects/References)
Language: English (default)

Submission Instructions:

Submit a link to your posted article below preferably hosted using Medium.

Description:

What is decentralization in DAOs and how do you measure it?

Provide arguments and/or metrics on how one can measure the degree of decentralization in Solana DAOs. Analyze DAOs using projects on Realms.today and statistics/metrics on DeepDAO.io to support your thesis and produce an article that analyzes and looks to measure decentralization in a DAO.

Suggested Guidance Questions

1. What are the types of DAOs analyzed? (I.e. Investment & Community)
2. What kind of resources are managed in these DAOs
3. Are there defined groups of people within these DAOs and how are resources managed in a decentralized way?
4. What are the factors or variables that contribute to “DAOiness”?
5. How can we measure decentralization for a DAO?
6. How does the DAO work or operate? I.e. People, Products, or Processes?
7. Are there any other DAOs or projects that are similar? Do you see similarities or common themes/practices among particular DAOs, if yes what are they?
8. If the DAO has a community, are the community users rewarded? If yes, How?
9. How decentralized are the processes that resources are used in terms of compensation for contributors’ work?
10. What is the nature of the NFT/tokens and how are they distributed?
    If you clearly answer the above questions in your bounty article, it will likely do well.

Recommended Sources:

1. Solana Realms https://realms.today/realms
2. DeepDAO https://deepdao.io/organizations

Summary:

GRAPE is a Decentralized Social Network that brought the first open-source verification service, the first decentralized NFT DeX, and provides a suite of DAO tools and products to the Solana ecosystem.

In this GRAPE Bounty, completers are rewarded $GRAPE tokens for writing original, non-plagiarized, articles about decentralization in Solana Realms DAOs and other DAOs for supporting examples. Hunters may use research information from DeepDAO.io website and Realms.Today but may NOT copy/paste info aimlessly. Read the rules, there is other information that must be included.

GRAPE has deposited 100% of the funds for Creation & Completion in advance. This bounty campaign is fully pre-funded.

Deliverable:

Create an original article about how to measure decentralization or “DAOiness” of at least one Solana Realms DAO, with the support of metrics from DeepDAO.

Acceptance Criteria:

Quality is based on amount of copied material, amount of technical/grammatical errors, overall impression, amount of images/pictures, and reach of article (comments/shares). Hunters may use research information from Solana Realms, DeepDAO, the DAO project analyzed, such as whitepapers or other documentation, but may not just rephrase line by line.

Exceptional quality generally means no technical errors, minimal spelling/grammatical errors, little to no copy/paste of information, contains appropriate references to analyzed DAO’s, where at least one is a Solana Realms DAO, with reference to the DAO’s website, tools or other documentation, DeepDAO analyses, and contains relevant image(s) to support analyses.

Rules

1. Submissions may not promote the host or tokens as an investment. Any submissions which do are in violation and will be rejected. NO FINANCIAL ADVICE
2. Article must be at least 2,000+ words.
3. Article must be written in English. (Optional: additional translations from English)
4. Article must be publicly viewable.
5. Maximum Submission per member/user: One (1)
6. Articles must contain at least one reference to the project being analyzed and appropriate references to other content used
7. If Discord user, must include Discord Profile Name at bottom of article.
8. Article platforms: Medium
9. Do not publish to Reddit, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat or other Social Network
10. Once submitted you agree to give over all intellectual and publishing rights of submitted articles to GRAPE.

Disqualification Reasons: copied/plagiarized content, broken links, empty articles, or anything as a placeholder. These are all strict rule violations, and disqualifies you from any reward in the GRAPE Bounty in general.

Thanks to @Dim_Selk @Takisoul for helping to create this Bounty & @DeanMachine for allowing us to use the term “DAOiness”.

An amendment proposal made by GodsloveDAO on Discord.

Suggested Amendments to the Bounty Program

I would like to recommend the below proposed amendments to Bounty Pool Governance

1. Create a role of Bounty Governance Manager:
   Role is to
   a) standardize, update and organize the bounty submission/selection/reward structure.
   b) Coordinate bounty feedback with those that submit it
   c) Create a framework to judge completion of the bounty based on a GRAPE accepted
   standards system before being sent to the governance structure for approval.
   d) Propose the funding the Bounty program needs to continue operation to the treasury at the
   end of every epoch.

This person to this role is selected by the board every election epoch(not elected). The role can
be held by a Board member.
[ Please ignore this if it is a technical limitation in reassigning people who can authorize the
multisig wallets]

2. Rather than the Governance of the Pool Bounty being governed by the same people in the
   board and providing other people to participate in the DAO’s governance actions I would like to
   propose the following structural changes
   a) Instead of the members in Bounty Pool Governance being DAO Board members
   themselves, the board members should propose three(3) members to take this position
   every election epoch Similarly instead of subDAO leaders, the subDAO leaders would
   propose a member from their subDAO to take this position In the absence of volunteers
   the board or subDAO leaders can nominate themselves to the position.
   b) A max of five(5) subDAOs send their representatives to for Governance. The initial five
   subDAOs can be selected by the current board but in the future will be selected by a
   framework laid out by the Bounty Governance Manager of the most participating five
   subDAOs
   c) A ⅝ (five out of eight) majority is needed to pass every Bounty Pool Governance
   proposal

Has the Bounty Governance Manager been added to the DAO Core roles ?

Here is a simple form for someone to fill out to raise a bounty.
Bounty Questionnaire (google.com)

Please take a look and suggest edits.

[discolove007]

wanted to get it out before I slept. adding a bit more context now.
Replaced type with ‘which subDao would best solve the bounty’ . might make it easy for someone to make a selection.
Created a 'how difficult ’ question instead of a reward question. Might be easier for someone to grasp than the grape sums.
Added a question to allow them to suggest who would judge that its complete.

[Arximedis]

Would it make sense to add the following?

Type: [Drop-Down]
Funding: Pre-Funded or Pending Approval
Proposed Max Reward (Complete): X $GRAPE

We can embed this form into Discourse
