Summary
The introduction of standardized voting cycles in Q4 2024 by the DAO has proven highly successful. This proposal aims to incorporate feedback from delegates and further refine the process.
Motivation
The adoption of governance cycles has streamlined the voting process within the Shutter 0x36 DAO, leading to increased participation from token holders and delegates. The structured approach has enabled the community to provide constructive feedback on proposals during their development, before they reach maturity.
Since the implementation of these cycles, the DAO has consistently achieved quorum through a predictable and well-organized process that balances ecosystem growth with governance enhancements. Building on this success, we aim to further improve the governance cycle by integrating feedback gathered from delegates, token holders, and contributors.
Specification
This proposal pertains to governance guidelines and does not require on-chain actions or protocol changes. The proposed adjustments will be implemented socially.
Governance in the DAO will be organized into decision-making cycles called seasons, each consisting of three sprints. Each season will last approximately two weeks, with each sprint spanning one week.
-
Sprint 1: Draft Creation and Feedback Phase Draft proposals titled “[RFC] Proposal Name” will be created and shared for feedback from the community and delegates.
-
Sprint 2: On/Off-Chain Proposal Phase Proposals that have gained sufficient consensus will be submitted to the main Snapshot space, titled “[SIP-XX] Proposal Name,” for an on-chain vote.
-
Temperature Checks Proposals with no on-chain impact or changes to social protocols may be posted on Snapshot at any time during a sprint. These “temperature check” votes must be clearly labelled as “[tempchecks]” and are not subject to quorum requirements.
| Seasons | 2 weeks |
|---|---|
| On Proposals | During Sprint 2 |
| Off-chain proposal on Snapshot | During Sprint 2 |
| Temp checks on Snapshot | Independent of sprints |
DAOplomats will aim to advance matured proposals on Tuesdays of every Sprint 2 to streamline the process.
Next Steps
- Gather feedback from the DAO about the next steps.
- If the proposal passes, the Shutter DAO public calendar will be updated.
