🏛 Governance
We have some budget proposals for you this week!
[Draft] Implementing oSnap for Optimistic Governance
This proposal seeks the adoption of oSnap for Developer DAO. oSnap will eliminate the need for multisig execution by automatically executing successful Snapshot votes onchain, thus consolidating the governance process to one gasless vote on Snapshot that results in on-chain execution.
Join the conversation here and watch the oSnap Governance call describing how oSnap works here.
[DRAFT] Introducing the Developer DAO Bounty Board
This proposal seeks to establish a D_D bounty board provided by TalentLayer. The bounty board will offer a tailored platform where approved members can share and engage with bounty opportunities. This initiative will streamline the contribution process and ensure quality and relevance in posted bounty.
Help drive the conversation here.
[DRAFT] Protocol Newsletter - 2024- Q1
This proposal introduces the addition of the “Protocol” newsletter created by D_D member DappaDan, as a bi-weekly series to the Developer DAO newsletter. The Protocol newsletter aims to provide Web3 Developers with guidance and insights into Web3 protocols and developer tools.
Your contribution to shaping the conversation is required here.
