This toolkit lays out a structure for any MonkeDAO member planning to submit a proposal on a particular issue. It conveys an overview of our governance process and a step-by-step guideline on what you need to do to push your proposal towards success.
OverviewAs we progress towards a fully decentralized DAO, we want to standardize the proposal and voting process. If these proposals are ultimately to be voted on to shape the policy of the DAO, they deserve to be molded by the members of the DAO. To achieve this goal, a 3-Step Proposal Process will be implemented to help innovative community members realize their ideas with the support and endorsement of the DAO.
Who can submit a proposal?Any verified MonkeDAO member (MonkeDAO NFT holder) can submit a proposal.
How can I succeed with my proposal?Proposals will undergo a 3-Step Process to gather community input and feedback before going to a binding vote. Any proposal that meets the minimum voting requirements will progress through the steps.
What kind of proposals is this process for?General (No Treasury Spending): These proposals require no spending from the DAO treasury, no external actions taken by the DAO (endorsement, partnership, etc.), and make no alterations to fundamental DAO General (Requires Treasury Spending) *: These proposals require no external actions taken by the DAO (endorsement, partnership, etc.), and make no alterations to fundamental DAO policy, but do require financial support from the Treasury.Major Partnerships/Endorsements (No Treasury Spending): Major partnerships or endorsements are opportunities for collaboration with specific people or projects that include major asks of the DAO such as co-branding, public endorsements, shared projects/development/costs, etc.Partnerships/Endorsements (Requires Treasury Spending) *: This category is the same as #3 above, but applies to proposals which require spending from the treasury in excess of 10 SOL. DAO Project Proposal (No Treasury Spending) ^: These proposals are about new DAO focused, member-organized projects that may require support from the DAO, but do not require spending from the Treasury.DAO Project Proposal (Requires Treasury Spending) ^*: These proposals are about new DAO focused, member-organized projects that may require support from the DAO, as well as financial support from the Treasury.Governance Proposal: These proposals include anything that alters the fundamental systems of the DAO, such as voting, governance structure, elections, etc.
