Summary

This proposal creates a new section on the DAO Handbook for listing redeemable membership benefits such as discounted RPC access from Grove and Nodies as part of our preferred partnerships with POKT Network.

This proposal is putting forth (but not limited to) the following items to a vote :

• Listing fee charged to partners
• Minimum duration of paid listing fees
• A PR has been opened on the handbook repo to create the perks page.

Motivation

The motivations behind this proposal are as follows:

• Reward our community by providing more intrinsic value for DAO membership
• Provide a non-intrusive way to connect partners with members
• Create opportunity to grow the treasury
• This concept was validated by the P3RKS team whereby members were interested in such benefits and partners were interested in providing them.
• Sadly, the P3RKS team decided to sunset their project so this proposal seeks to re-create the value natively in the DAO with minimum fuss.

Scope of Work

The proposed solution is simple:

• Create a member perks/benefits page on the Handbook.
• List benefits using Gitbook Cards.
• Link to a DeForm to verify token holdings
• Automate distribution of perk via make.com.
• Charge partners via listing fee or affiliate commission to generate revenue of the Treasury

Model

DAO Membership Perks will optimise for value accrual in memberships to the DAO.

Rather than charge for listings, the aim is to pursue the high quality and value for membership by passing all savings onto them where possible. In some case where the only option is to enter into an affiliate agreement with where the DAO makes a commission on each signed up user, 100% of those funds will be return to the treasury.

What perks can be listed

To be listed on the platform a perk must benefit members and provide revenue for the DAO either directly via a listing fee or affiliate agreement, or as part of a separate partnership agreement.

As an interim solution, perks will be proposed on the Coordination call and optimistically added unless there is an objection from someone present on the call. Anyone can propose a perk.

Drawbacks

This solution is intentionally simple, relying on DeForm and Make.com to provide a quick functional solution for members. It acknowledges there is likely a better solution to this that could be built in the future should the DAO decide to replace this setup. It also acknowledges there is likely room for improvement on the process for selecting listing in the future.

Vote

Single choice voting where one CODE token equals one vote and whichever option has the most votes the the end successful assuming quorum of over 2% of CODE supply (200k votes).

If a draw, we optimistically default to For.
