Funding: Pre-Funded
Max Reward (Complete): 150,000 $GRAPE
Date Created: 04/14/22

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
- What are the types of DAOs analyzed? (I.e. Investment & Community)
- What kind of resources are managed in these DAOs
- Are there defined groups of people within these DAOs and how are resources managed in a decentralized way?
- What are the factors or variables that contribute to “DAOiness”?
- How can we measure decentralization for a DAO?
- How does the DAO work or operate? I.e. People, Products, or Processes?
- 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?
- If the DAO has a community, are the community users rewarded? If yes, How?
- How decentralized are the processes that resources are used in terms of compensation for contributors’ work?
- 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.

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.
