Doodles activations & contests funding + Doodles dust tip jar

TL;DR Seeking to approve a budget of 25 ETH: 10 ETH to fund community contests prizes and contractors. 15 ETH to create Doodle dust as rewards for: A. Rewarding proposal champions and their teams for successful implementation. B. Tip jar for community event organizers, content creators and artists (monthly, community-nominated)

Details: 10 ETH BUDGET

1. Fund community contests prizes and contractors (adhoc)

Goal: Farm vibes. Increase meaningful participation and engagement in the community.

Proposals for contests and activations need not pass through DB as long as approved by @Mushy / Discord Mod Team Similar to Lore Wars contest, upcoming Doodles Music cover art contest.

Rationale: With funds pre-approved in this proposal, we can move fast and encourage regular contests. Removes current barriers such as finding resources, preparing proposals and passing the snapshot vote.

Governance:

New ETH wallet managed by @Mushy (Doodlebank manager) with wallet address made known to the community. Contractor payments to be made known via #updates (same thread as founder and royalty payments) 15 ETH BUDGET

2. Create Doodles Dust wallet for A) Rewards and B) Tip jar

Used to purchase 15ETH of DOODLE tokens from NFTX.io 4 vault Buy - NFTX App Approximately 1 DOODLE to be used for Doodles dust rewards (1st experiment)

Fractionalized based on t-shirt sizing shorthand (approximate eth value):

Rationale: Valuable, on-brand rewards and incentives to encourage community participation in building the brand. Doodlebank has been quiet for a while, this is an experiment to sustain meaningful activity.

Governance:

Managed by @Mushy with wallet address made public to the community (same wallet as ETH). Should the experiment succeed, future DOODLE tokens to be held in Gnosis multisig wallet with cosigners consisting of mods or community members in various timezones.

2A. Reward Doodlebank proposal champions and their teams Building on a past proposal by Mushy: Doodle Dust as Incentives 3

Goal: Reward proposal execution and incentivize quality proposals in Doodlebank.

Simultaneously execute DB guidelines refinement and forum clean-up.

Proposal champions to prepare proposals, now with ‘briefs’ and suggested categories. Briefs to be prepared with Doodles team, based on key activation themes and Doodles calendar of events/releases and published in Discord and DB. Update DB guidelines to have suggested categories and no-go areas. Avoid ‘no-go’ areas (such as proposal for Doodle tokens, or derivative collections). Archive in-active or outdated proposals to remove forum noise. Rewards are distributed in 2 stages.

2B. Tip jar for community organizers, content creators and artists

Monthly distributions, community nominated, mod accessed and approved. The team as well as community members can nominate folks to be tipped in an activity channel on discord #tipjar. The moderator team will review nominations, and make sizing determinations (usually XS to M) Mushy will make transfers of Doodles Dust to individual wallets. Updated in #Updates as well as News stand.
