Proposal by AlabasterJefferson#6585 / AlabasterJefferson.eth

Note on Preliminary Votes

The preliminary vote is Snapshot confirmation that the idea is quality enough to proceed to final vote. Sometimes a preliminary vote may feel redundant with final vote, but we need to make sure the idea resonates with the entire community.

Note

This is a grouped proposal that addresses three different cosmetic concerns about Ziggy metadata. All three are independent and have different reasons for pushing forward. But, because all three can be accomplished at once, I have grouped them into a 3-part proposal that we can vote on as a whole.

Proposed Changes

[Change 1] Cosmetic concerns from agency partners

A few meta-data concerns came up over the last few weeks during talks with a production company and multiple agencies. While the NFT project is a separate business entity from the Animated Series and Studio, there is a slight risk that executives unfamiliar with NFT’s will not draw the stark distinction. Meaning all actions the NFT project take will reflect back on the show.

It was suggested we change two pieces of meta-data to avoid any hurdles in selling the Dino Babies in Space animated series:

1. Change the name of the accessories Airpods to a non-branded name, Egg-pods
2. Change the mouth “Cigarette” to a new image and name (Matt decides)

• The risk of Airpods is that no network wants to be associated with a copyright issue, even if we are in fair use.
• The risk of Cigarettes is that no network wants to show smoking in any show targeting children as it can be considered advertising to children.

Our counsel agrees that these are not legal risks at this time since the NFT is not the show, but does agree that they would be difficult conversations to have.

[Change 2] Unifying Rarity Calculations by changing "None" traits

Because we are already changing the Meta-data provenance this change can take place at the same time.

Some concerned holders brought up an issue that some rarity tools have with the word none. "None" flaws some tools' calculation as they assume it is a missing trait, giving the most common Ziggy distributions higher rarity calculations. Our partner Rarity Sniper does not do this, which causes effectively two different rarity calculations when looking across all possible rarity evaluation tools.

It is suggested that we can change none to two different names:

1. The outfit none can be changed to Fresh
2. The accessories none can be Bare-hands

That way, there is no conflicting rarity ranking between Rarity Sniper and other smaller tools.

[Change 3] Replacing IPFS's Space-Deck

We would like to adjust the background image of space-deck which was uploaded originally as a duplicate of Bulkhead. Space-Deck is supposed to show the main cabin of Uncle Pterry.

None of the above changes will impact rarity, or distribution

All three of these meta-data changes will not impact rarity at all as they just change the names or ipfs image associated. The distribution of rarity will maintain consistency and every token number will maintain its distribution score. This upload can be done in one change with our engineering team and would take less than a day to implement. There will only be one provenance hash change.

How does this impact the Dino Babies in Space DAO?

Knocking out all three of these in one swoop would address both show pitch hurdles we may have to overcome and also address small concerns about our meta-data in the greater NFT ecosystem. Both of those worlds are very important to raising funds within the DAO.

How does this help the community

• Helping make the sale of the show easier is a big win for our community
• Showing a better compromise to the concerns of new investors not using rarity sniper is a good win for us as a welcoming, inclusive place
• Fixing our IPFS upload error does not have many community implications, it is just a Quality of Life improvement.
