[RFC] Proposal: Transition to Paid Decent Subscription

Shutter DAO DAO Proposals
1

Summary

This proposal seeks approval for Shutter DAO 0x36 to transition from a legacy free user to a standard paid subscription of the Decent platform (decent.build) at a rate of 1,200 USDGLO per month.

Background

Shutter DAO 0x36 has been one of Decent’s earliest and most valued partners, utilizing our platform since its development phase. During our beta period, we offered Shutter DAO 0x36 complimentary access as we refined our toolset. Now that our platform has matured with a comprehensive suite of DAO management tools, we’re standardizing our commercial relationships. All clients except Shutter DAO 0x36 have already transitioned to paid subscriptions.

Motivation

As Shutter DAO 0x36’s trusted infrastructure provider, Decent seeks to formalize our ongoing relationship while ensuring Shutter DAO 0x36 benefits from our full range of DAO management capabilities. Shutter DAO 0x36 currently leverages Decent primarily for on-chain voting and has established one subDAO. This proposal would maintain these existing functionalities while opening access to our expanded toolset.

Specification

  1. Create a payment stream to Decent Labs: 1,200 USDGLO per month for 12 months

  2. Maintain all current Shutter DAO 0x36 functionalities on the Decent platform

  3. Unlock full access to Decent’s expanded feature set, including:

  • Advanced role management and permissions: Built on Hats Protocol, this system enables automated elections for contributors, revocable payment streams for accountability, and granular on-chain permissions that provide autonomy while reducing governance overhead for operational decisions.

  • Payment streaming capabilities: Flexible payment models integrated with Sablier for automated stablecoin or token compensation attached to roles.

  • Multiple subDAO creation and management: Streamlined creation of efficient subDAO structures with parent DAO oversight through governance.

  • Integrated dApps for proposal creation: Direct access to protocols like CoW Swap and yield-generating integrations (Origin, Spark) through governance proposals, enabling treasury optimization without delegating capital to third parties.

  • Upcoming treasury management, payment, and legal infrastructure tools: Advanced token distribution, transparent on-chain payroll, and legal automation launching in 5-6 weeks that automates compliance reporting and agreement management.

  1. Schedule a dedicated onboarding session to identify customization opportunities and untapped platform features

  2. Receive feature requests and put them on the Decent app roadmap through a dedicated Discord channel with full team technical assistance and strategic guidance. This collaborative approach has already delivered results, such as the gasless voting functionality built specifically at Shutter’s request, ensuring delegates and voters no longer need to pay transaction fees to participate in on-chain governance.

Technical Implementation

  • Payment Method: Sablier stream

  • Amount per tranche: 1,200 USDGLO

  • Tranche duration: 2,630,000 seconds (1 month)

  • Number of tranches: 12

  • Cancelable: Yes

  • Transferable: Yes

Platform

Decent (if passed, this proposal will create an on-chain stream)

Voting Options

Vote “FOR” to if support transitioning to a paid Decent subscription (1,200 USDGLO per month for 12 months)

OR

Vote “AGAINST” if you do not support this proposal

OR

Vote “ABSTAIN” if you do not have an opinion but want to help the vote reach quorum

gm! y’all may remember me from my Nance proposal back in October where I was seeking to bring governance automation to the DAO. Well the Nance team has joined forces with Decent! We’re currently integrating a bunch of the great features you see listed above and more :rocket:

Please ask any technical or business questions that come to mind and I’d be happy to answer. along side Leah. Looking forward to your feedback!

Hi @Leah,

Thanks so much for this proposal. A couple questions:

  1. Would you please explain these features in more detail?
  • Advanced Role Management (esp - granular on-chain permissions)
  • Legal Automation
  • Gasless Voting

  1. Is ‘Enforced Governance Sprints’ a feature on the Decent roadmap. If so, when can we expect it?

  2. What would happen if SD 0x36 rejects this proposal? Would SD 0x36 lose access to all Decent services? Or would SD 0x36 retain existing services, but not gain access to new services?

Hey @Loring- Thanks for your questions! I’ve provided our answers below but please let me know if you need any further clarification!

  1. Would you please explain these features in more detail?

  • Advanced Role Management : Advanced role management and permissions: Built on Hats Protocol, this system enables elections for contributors, revocable payment streams for accountability, and on-chain proposal permissions for role holders that provide autonomy while reducing governance overhead for operational decisions.

  • Legal Automation: Legal Automation is something we will work on - to tie on-chain transaction to RL legal contracts. For example, when DAO elect someone for a role, with payment, the role holder has to perform certain duties. Right now, the off-chian legal contract and on-chain smart contract (role + payment) are disconnected. Decent is working on unifying those to

  • Be specific on the expectations of parties involved in any DAO governance with legal agreements.
  • Reduce the overhead for foundation to manage off-chain legal agreements.
  • Gasless Voting: Gasless Voting is a governance setting, which requires a governance proposal to turn on. Once it is turned on, the DAO controls a gas tank to pay for voting, and voters can vote without paying for gas.
  1. Is ‘Enforced Governance Sprints’ a feature on the Decent roadmap. If so, when can we expect it?
  • Enforced Governance Sprints—which would create fixed on-chain proposal cycles (e.g., all proposals must start voting on specific weeks)—are not currently on our roadmap. While this was previously considered, we’ve deprioritized it for two key reasons: it doesn’t align well with our mixed governance approach that combines multi-sig flexibility for daily operations with token governance, and most DAOs can achieve similar structure through off-chain scheduling without the additional constraints of enforced cycles
  1. What would happen if SD 0x36 rejects this proposal? Would SD 0x36 lose access to all Decent services? Or would SD 0x36 retain existing services, but not gain access to new services?
  • Decent’s contracts on the front end are free and open source, and you will always be able to use them for base-level governance features. But premium features such as transparency in payroll through contributor payments, gasless voting, legal and compliance automation to protect DAO members, will be accessible only to paid users.
