Overview

In an effort to provide developers incentive to create technology and tools for REtoken DAO, I propose that we offer developers the opportunity to complete a hackathon bounty on behalf of REtoken DAO and personally receive a portion of the hackathon bounty they complete.

To facilitate this process, I propose we create a standard for the bounty proposals in the future. Firstly, these proposals should be a Treasury Distribution Proposal as the developer(s) portion of the bounty will be considered paid by the DAO. If the bounty is capable of paying directly to multiple parties (the developers and the DAO), then that payment should be utilized. Otherwise the DAO should be paid and left to disburse the funds manually.

As for the actual format of the proposal, I propose we require the following items regarding the bounty: name, url, description, how it serves the DAO, participants (developers and non-technical), and expected pay.

Standard Requirements

Name: the name of the bounty URL: a direct link to the public posting of the bounty Description: a brief description of the bounty (can be copy+paste from the original post) How it serves the DAO: an explanation of how the bounty advances the mission of REtoken DAO and brings it closer to its goals A list of participants: a list of all the users participating. Participants may submit a user id or address Expected pay: how much each participant expects to be paid. The total expected pay plus the amount sent to REtoken DAO must equal the amount of the bounty. All funds must be accounted for. The developers may also request that some amount of REtoken DAO be minted as payment.

Approval of this proposal will result in the above outline being added to the DAOs docs as a standard. All future proposals related to complete bounties and hackathons on the behalf of REtoken must provide at least all of the information on the standard. It is also encouraged that future proposers discuss their proposal with the community prior to the vote.

Once a team has an approval and they are set to begin working, it is recommended that the team uses Coordinape to manage team payment.
