🗳️ DAO Proposal: Lowering Entry Barriers, Boosting Engagement, and Accelerating User Growth on ChainGPT Pad

📌 Summary

ChainGPT Pad is positioned for significant growth. To unlock this potential, we propose critical updates to dramatically lower entry barriers, boost community engagement, and expand our user base through innovative, socially-driven participation tiers.

Currently, the high staking requirements of the Bronze Tier exclude many users, restricting participation and hindering community growth. To address this directly, we recommend two strategic enhancements to our tier structure:

• Bronze Tier Enhancement: Lowering the entry requirement significantly from 2,000 to 200 staking points, with proportional allocations based on staking points.

• New Iron Tier: Introducing a non-staking, social-engagement-driven tier, providing minimal allocations via lottery to users completing promotional social tasks.

These changes will dramatically expand accessibility, engagement, and fairness across the platform. These improvements are straightforward, require minimal technical changes, and offer immediate benefits for the entire ChainGPT community.

🎯 Objectives

• Accessibility: Lower financial barriers to allow more users to participate.
• Engagement: Reward community involvement through incentivized social tasks.
• Fairness: Allocate proportional rewards based on staking points.
• Growth: Attract a larger user base to secure higher-quality projects and better allocations.

This creates a powerful positive feedback loop:

More users → Better projects → Greater visibility → Larger allocations → Increased social engagement with projects → Stronger TGEs.

🥉 Bronze Tier – Proposed Changes

Currently, Bronze Tier requires 2,000 staking points (approximately $100-$250), offering flat allocations on a first-come-first-served (FCFS) basis.

Proposed Changes:

• Lower Entry Barrier: Reduce staking requirement to 200 staking points (~$10-$25).
• Proportional Allocations: Implement guaranteed allocations scaled by staking points, plus additional FCFS opportunities.

(Note: Allocations within the Bronze Tier scale proportionally with staking points, similar to other tiers. Users with 2,000+ points will continue receiving higher allocations than those at the new minimum. Reducing the minimum requirement does not negatively impact higher-point users.)

Why change this?

Currently, Bronze Tier’s high entry cost limits participation and prevents many potential users from joining, significantly hindering community growth.

Example scenario:

With this adjustment, a new user could start participating in IDOs for as little as $10, greatly enhancing accessibility and user growth.

🪨 Iron Tier – New Social-Engagement Entry

Iron Tier Overview:

• No staking required
• Mandatory KYC verification
• Lottery-based allocations (smallest allocation, below Bronze)
• Eligibility based on monthly social engagement tasks
• Better lottery odds for users completing more tasks

How it works:

Users qualify by completing social tasks to promote the specific IDOs or Launchdrops they’re interested in (the promo content will not only promote the project they are interested in but also ChainGPT Pad). Allocation is lottery-based, offering minimal guaranteed or FCFS opportunities, meaning not all Iron Tier members will receive an allocation. However, the more social tasks a user completes, the higher their chances of winning an allocation in the lottery.

Iron Tier Allocation Mechanics:

Users complete social tasks for specific IDOs/Launchdrops they are interested in. Completing more tasks significantly increases a user’s lottery odds. Lottery winners receive either minimal guaranteed allocations or FCFS access. Allocation size is smaller than Bronze Tier to maintain fairness to staking users.

🚀 Quantified Expected Outcomes

• Increased Accessibility: Lower entry barriers enable more users to participate and engage actively.
• Broader User Base: Reduced staking requirements and social-task-based entry attract new users who might otherwise not participate.
• Fairer Allocations: Rewards proportionally aligned with user commitment, both through staking and social engagement.
• Community & Visibility Growth: Enhanced user participation increases overall community strength and attracts higher-quality projects, and potentially higher allocations overall.

✅ Voting Options

• Option 1 (Recommended):

Lower Bronze Tier requirement to 200 staking points (proportional allocations). Introduce Iron Tier (social tasks, no staking).

• Option 2: Bronze Tier enhancements only.

• Option 3: Iron Tier introduction only.

• Option 4: No changes.
