Authors: Date:

tl;dr

  • Provide a brief 2-3 sentence summary of the proposal, outlining its objectives and intended outcomes.
  • Add the prefix [Tempchack] or [RFC] or [SIP].
  • Once the proposal passes Snapshot, it will be assigned an SIP number.

MOTIVATION

In this section, the primary goal is to delve into the author’s motivation behind the SIP, focusing on the “why” aspect. To address this, the author should explore several key questions:

  • Are there any loopholes or shortcomings in the current established processes within the DAO that demand attention?
  • Is there a need for improvements or adjustments in the existing procedures to enhance efficiency, transparency, or security?
  • Are there identified opportunities that could significantly improve the overall state of the DAO?
  • Can the proposed SIP capitalize on potential advantages, such as new technologies, partnerships, or strategic initiatives?
  • Are there prevalent challenges or issues faced by a substantial number of DAO members that necessitate changes or focused attention?
  • Does the SIP aim to resolve specific problems experienced by the community, thereby fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment?

By thoroughly addressing these questions, the author can articulate a compelling narrative about the motivation behind the SIP. This will provide clarity on whether the proposal aims to rectify existing deficiencies, seize opportunities for improvement, or address challenges faced by the DAO community.
