Upgrading the ATF

Authors: Slick GotchiID(s): 4285 Quorum Requrement: 20% (9M) Vote Duration: 7 days

Background

The ATF was officially formed in AGIP54. In amost a year, there has only been one request to the ATF for prize pool funding and 99,500 GHST remains along with 70+ Fake Cards in the ATF treasury wallet:

• 0x921D8FDF089775D5AC61b2d6e8f34F1edd554D8f

Problem

The ATF treasury is under-utilized. Uptake on prize pool funds has been minimal due to lack of new minigames. There have also been instances where more substantial Aavegotchi games have requested funds but due to the ATF’s hard limit of 500 GHST per game, they have instead had to complete a full SigProp/CoreProp application to the DAO. E.g. AGIP 97.

Solution

The ATF would like to propose the following updates to their operation of treasury funds so that individual game developers can apply for, and be granted up to:

• 4000 GHST per calendar year to fund their gaming prize pools
• 5 fake gotchi cards per calendar year to be used as part of their game competitions
• 1000 GHST per calendar year to assist with server hosting costs, playtest funding, fake gotchi artist commissions, marketing and any other activities that help raise awareness for, or assist development of, their game.

End Goal & Benefits

This proposal will:

• Allow game developers more flexibility when creating prize pools
• Create quicker turnaround for funding approvals
• Encourage use of predominantly dormant ATF prize pool funds that are available for the community

Updated ATF Members

As per original ATF creation proposal, 4 out of 7 signers will be required for all transactions and approval of funding requests. Some of our original signers have now moved on and the updated list of 7 signers will be:

• Slick
• PG
• Scrooger
• Hefe
• Mycaleum
• Laggin
• Chair

Please note, if one of the ATF signers is requesting funding, they will not be able to sign for that specific transaction should the ATF agree to provide funding.
