8DAOIP - 6 - Season 2 Proposal

Executive Summary

As we are approaching the end of Season 1 (1 July - 30 September 2022), the core contributors hereby present the Season 2(1 October - 31 December 2022) Proposal to all the 8DAO members. In Season 2, our development focus will transfer to creating value for 8DAO tokens. “Explore Token Utility” is our slogan for Season 2. The key points of Season 2 Proposal are set out below:

Strategic Goals

Create value for 8DAO tokens. “Explore Token Utility”.

Governance Structure Adjustment

1. Evolution of ‘Governor Block’ to ‘Coordination Block’
2. ‘Governance & Administration Block’ to become ‘DAO & Investment Block’
3. ‘Community Block’ to become ‘NFT & Community Block’
4. ‘Marketing Block’ to become ‘Strategy Block’

Coordination Block

1. Blocks coordination. Coordinate and support all blocks functioning well
2. Ambassador. Represent 8DAO to introduce or present in gathering, interview, seminars, conference and other events
3. Sub-block incubation. Line up with strategy block to discuss and plan new initiatives

DAO & Investment Block

As the DAO & Investment Block we will continue our functions of governance in the coming seasons but we will now switch focus to building out the governance structure we have developed and improving where needed. We will continue both our research and understanding of other DAOs as well as looking to facilitate real partnerships with other DAOs through sharing our resources in a way that is mutually beneficial. Finally we aim to build on 8 Venture Squad and put in place a formal investment team with responsibilities that will ultimately bring greater utility to 8DAO tokens.

Strategy Block

The Strategy Block will work with each block leader to develop strategies for various initiatives. ensure all the initiatives are coherently driving towards 8DAO’s seasonal goal. Be a strategic thought partner and sounding board to Block leaders for different initiatives. Help Block Leaders plan and review their plans and tasks, apply structured and critical thinking to different initiatives, leading to the ultimate question of our seasonal strategic goal - “How can this initiative create token utilities?”

NFT & Community Block

The key focus for Season 2 is to continue growing the number of quality members in 8DAO, and at the same time increase engagement and bonding between existing members. This season we experiment with the creation of 3 sub blocks: 1. Administration, 2. Content and 3. NFT to execute on our key initiatives.

Administration Sub-Block

1. Experimenting with different types of community events
2. Virtual Community Engagement and ongoing process of gathering feedback
3. Optimizing sign-up process, and reduce friction for members to become contributors
4. Design and production of quality merch for members

Content Sub-Block

1. Curate and craft quality content for members on hot topics in Web3 Space, published on our 8Weekly
2. Curate for quality content in 8DAO Archives
3. Refining 8DAO website and content

NFT Sub-Block

1. Explore potential collaborations with other NFT projects and studios, obtain WL opportunities for 8DAO members
2. Enhance 8DAO brand recognition through collaborations with other communities
3. Arrange showcases for NFT projects and host IRL events for NFT collectors

Treasury Block

The key focus for this Season will be exploring more web3 tools to improve 8DAO productivity and contributor’s using experience; preparing reports to members for operational transparency.
