Context:
There were multiple discussions in Discord regarding having a grants program to reward community members for their contributions. Often these discussions ended up pointing towards the difficulty of structuring the program and the need for a council/sub-DAO in charge of the grants.
The complexity and debates related to having a formal multi-year grants program led the community to consider a simple and easy to manage micro-grants program.
Proposal:
Simple micro-grants program that would be ran directly on Discord with the tip.cc bot.
The micro-grants program will be running for a test period of 3 months and would be structured as follows:
- One or two community members will be in charge of the micro-grants and would handle them through the tip.cc Discord bot - let’s call them Program Managers
- The micro-grants program would have a maximum monthly budget of $15 000 in USF, unspent tokens will be rolled over into the next month’s budget while keeping the monthly maximum of $15 000 in USF
- Program Managers decide to put bounties and verify that work is delivered as expected + transfer the rewards
- Program Managers are awarded 15% of the bounties that is split as follows: 10% based on rewards/grants attributed and 5% quality of the grants/rewards/delivery to be voted over by the DAO members every 3 months
