[PROPOSAL] Request for ICF funding the Cosmos Hub DAO, Decentralist DAO
Mission Better discourse for better organization management and conflict management (through smart contracts). Plan The community is asking what the NWV’s plans are. The one thing we can all get behind is the need for fund for alternative control and governance structures. So while ATOM2.0 proposes one such treasury DAO with charter, we hereby propose an alternative DAO, let’s call it the Decentralists Cosmos Hub DAO. This Decentralists Cosmos Hub DAO contains categories that discuss the topics needed for Cosmos Hub improvement. Tokenomics, governance, development, security, interchain staking or ICS, incentive alignment, budgeting, etc are all categories that discuss the merits of proposals. Within each category, multiple groups can compete to provide services as suggested by the category DAO. That way we can have competition among peer groups but constructive discourse and on-chain accountability to let the best groups and ideas win. In another example, within the Cosmos Hub governance category, there would be multiple topics of discussion, and many individuals and teams proposing changes to the working constitution or plan document. •…

The top level DAO can modify “official” groups that apply to be managed by the top level DAO.
in this scenario i guess the “top level DAO” is run by Jesus ?
Basically the “NWV”'s plan is to propose a new DAO to rule SubDAOs which don’t exist yet, have no plans yet etc.
the “Decentralists DAO” is a joke. a cult. nothing serious in there.
Proof:
9 months later, no forum, no thoughtful and brainstormed definitions and goals made public,
a void.
How much Atoms AiB & Ignite own? Can’t they fund this initiative?
They’re the github owners right?
Or maybe the Atom tokens they own have just 3 purposes:
- voting power and political influence
- build Gnoland
- initiate lawsuits
?
Why as soon as we need to build something together for the hub AiB is nowhere close to providing a single dollar.
@Tom,
I appreciate you taking the time to engage with this proposal draft. Your frustrations are heard and I am aware of the divided perspectives.
This post was submitted as a draft, hence expected appropriate pushback such as your comment. The only “joke,” is the attitude towards the potential of the early Decentralist DAO.
I commend you and your support for opposing DAO’s, but again, this post was submitted as a “draft,” in hopes to engage the community to hear their sentiment. Sincerely, thank you again for voicing your opinion, as I too, am learning as I go.
In response to your last comment, I assume AiB is appropriately prioritizing their focus towards developing the much needed and censorship resistant, Gnoland.
I can only imagine the amount of effort, bandwidth it requires to attempt to build/provide a space in the digital wild-wild-west for people who are against a potential, authoritarian new world order.
Despite opposers of the Atom One vision being so gung ho about building/breaking FAST (via the infant, initially non-blockchain built usecase coding language known as Wasm), i’d expect - at the least, to show some more respect towards AiB’s willingness to take on this feat.
Again, thank you and bless you for your engagement with this post, Tom.
Cheers to growing, together.
Honestly, the idea of funding a hub DAO with NON community pool money is a bit cringe.
- The ICF, etc, are already sort of doing that in various direct and indirect ways
- A real hub dao should by 0 price accept money from centralized organizations, no matter their interest in a direct form (one thing is the legal entities doing their job, another is corrupting for the sake of corrupting)
- One of the most paradoxal props IMO
- I totally dig what you are trying to solve, I just dont see the reason to go backwards. The whole hub is a DAO already. Lets focus on enriching the CP with liquid and income earned funds from (possibly AEZ, fees, investments of the hub into other projects as a hub, etc).
