[1IP-87] Snapshot Pro Subscription

Simple Summary

Subscribe to Snapshot Pro ($6,000/year) to restore delegation voting functionality critical to 1inch governance.

Abstract

The delegation strategy that powers 1inch DAO governance has been paywalled by Snapshot. This proposal requests $6,000 USDC from the DAO Treasury for an annual Snapshot Pro subscription to maintain governance continuity.

Motivation

• Snapshot recently moved the delegation strategy to their Pro tier

• Our entire governance system relies on delegation

• Without Pro, we cannot post proposals using our established voting mechanism

Specification

• Cost: $6,000 USDC per year

• Payment: Send to Schnaps contract with metadata provided by Snapshot team: 0xe40bfeb5a3014c9b98597088ca71eccdc27ca410

• Funding: 1inch DAO Treasury

Rationale

• Critical Infrastructure: Delegation is fundamental to our governance model

• Minimal Cost: $6,000/year is less than 0.06% of the treasury

• Fair Value: We’ve been using Snapshot for the entirety of 1inch DAO’s existence but have not paid up until this point, so this cost seems reasonable

• Avoid Disruption: Migration to alternative strategies would require smart contract changes and risk participation loss

• Additional Benefits: Proposal monitoring (2hr response), priority support, delegates dashboard, enhanced visibility

Implementation

Upon proposal execution:

1. Treasury sends $6,000 USDC to Schnaps contract

2. Pro features activated immediately

3. Annual renewal will be required
