DeveloperDAO Partnership

Summary

This proposal, if passed, would issue 50,000 GTC for governance rights equating to 5% of Developer DAO when governance is live. The purpose of this alliance is to help ensure that Gitcoin and Developer DAO can work together to coordinate bringing more web2 developers into web3 than ever before through education and events, as well as supporting the creation and distribution of public goods.

Abstract

Developer DAO was started by Nader Dabit (https://twitter.com/dabit3). In just over two months they have grown to 5436 members, mostly experienced builders taking their first steps into the open web.

Their goals are to onboard, educate and support these new builders to foster & build web3 tools and public goods. These ambitions resonate well with projects and workstreams Gitcoin has previously supported such as Moonshot Collective, and we have already found some great ways to collaborate on a smaller scale.

We see this relationship complementing Gitcoin in the following ways:

• Enabling Gitcoin to have a voice in the future direction of Developer DAO via 5% allocation of their governance token into the Gitcoin Treasury
• Strengthening ties between and improve the shared bandwidth of Gitcoin and Developer DAO teams Moonshot Coordinator (https://twitter.com/MoonshotCoordin),  Austin Griffith (https://twitter.com/austingriffith),  Nader Dabit (https://twitter.com/dabit3),  Cooper Turley (https://twitter.com/Cooopahtroopa), Preethi Kasireddy (https://twitter.com/iam_preethi),  kempsterrrr (https://twitter.com/kempsterrrr))
• Collaborating on educational initiatives including workshops, events and hackathons with Austin Griffith and the Moonshot Collective workstream, to further the reach and impact of Gitcoin’s public goods mission (building for human thriving)
• Co-creating prototypes between Moonshot + Developer DAO that play well with the Loot ecosystem vibes / memes
