Gm Yetis. After Magnet DAO failed to launch on time today and after deeper-dives into media around the project, some members of the DYSC Dao have expressed reservation about going forward with the 40 AVAX allocation to their pre-sale. Many Yetis contributed to a robust discussion in our discord, and so I am bringing a proposal here that summarizes the main ideas.
Magnet DAO is angling itself as an incubator of projects on AVAX, a position several other protocols are going for. TIME, headed by Daniele, will use its vast Wonderland Treasury to invest in the ecosystem; Jade, with its viral marketing success and Fair Launch Foundation, also seeks to incubate projects; and Snowbank v2, with its protocol-owned-liquidity product, is also going after this market.
Each project has theses working for them:
TIME has a huge treasury and many connections in the crypto industry; JADE has marketing success; with MAG, we are early; and Snowbank has an innovative liquidity protocol in their 2nd Version.
Each project has various uncertainties:
TIME is trading at a 2.5x premium to its backing; JADE's style of marketing leaves a poor taste for some; MAG botched its launch; Snowbank is recovering from their SDOG experiment.
I hope that ALL these projects succeed! I am simply summarizing the arguments for and against.
As a result of these discussions, and as a test of our DAO's agility in making investment decisions, here are a few proposals of how to move forward:
For reference, a 50 AVAX allocation overall represents 1/6th of our current treasury. We thank you for your participation in this DAO!
