Stance on Overall Goals for the DAO:
The DAO’s primary goal should be to create a self-sustaining, inclusive, and innovation-driven ecosystem that attracts and retains a diverse set of contributors. By fostering collaboration among developers, users, and other stakeholders, the DAO can enable continuous improvement in the ecosystem’s infrastructure and governance processes.
For sustained growth, the DAO should focus on:
• Building Trust: Transparency and active communication are essential to ensure stakeholders feel confident in the DAO’s direction and decisions.
• Supporting Builders: Providing funding and mentorship opportunities for projects that align with the DAO’s vision will nurture innovation and scalability.
• Encouraging Participation: Governance mechanisms should be designed to lower barriers for participation, ensuring that every voice has an opportunity to contribute meaningfully.
By aligning these priorities, the DAO can create a resilient framework that fosters long-term growth while staying true to the principles of decentralization.
Sample Voting Issues:
Issue 1: Uniswap’s proposal to use Flipside for a bounty program raised concerns about centralization, as Flipside was given significant control over allocation and oversight committees. While the initiative aimed to attract new users and offered a structured approach, the concentration of authority in a single service provider sparked concerns about undermining decentralized principles.
• How would you vote?: Against
• Amendments to the Proposal: None
• Approach to the Centralization Tradeoff: Centralization risks can be managed by implementing a thorough initial deliberation process and ensuring a well-structured voting cycle before proposals are put to vote. This will allow for meaningful feedback and prevent rushed decision-making, thereby fostering trust and inclusivity.
Issue 2: The Rari hack, resulting in an $80M loss, highlighted significant vulnerabilities in security protocols. While reimbursement was initially approved, a subsequent vote for reimbursement failed, leading to divided opinions. Rather than focusing on reimbursements, efforts should be directed toward improving security measures and learning from this incident to prevent similar hacks in the future. This approach aligns with creating a sustainable and secure ecosystem.
• How would you choose to handle this situation?: No Reimbursements
• Reasoning: Reimbursements can set unsustainable precedents and create moral hazard. Instead, the focus should be on strengthening the protocol’s security and creating robust mechanisms to avoid such exploits.
