Increased transparency from the Karrat Foundation regarding the roles, responsibilities, and compensation of its employees and contributors

**Summary ** This proposal calls for increased transparency from the Karrat Foundation regarding the roles, responsibilities, and compensation of its employees and contributors. As an active member of the Karrat community, I believe that clarity on how foundation team members operate and are compensated is essential for maintaining community trust and effective governance.

Motivation

The Karrat DAO was founded on principles of decentralization, transparency, and community empowerment. However, at present, community members have limited visibility into:

What Foundation employees and contributors do on a day-to-day basis

How decisions are made about compensation

How Karrat funds are being used to support ongoing operations

Transparency in these areas will help ensure that:

The community can hold the Foundation accountable

Resources are being allocated efficiently and fairly

Contributors are working toward outcomes aligned with the DAO’s mission

Specification

This proposal formally requests the Karrat Foundation to provide:

Role Overviews A list of all current employees, contributors, or contractors engaged by the Foundation

A short description of each role, including responsibilities and areas of ownership

Day-to-Day Activity Summaries An overview of typical weekly tasks or workflows for each role

Key projects, deliverables, or initiatives currently in progress

Compensation Transparency Monthly or annual compensation for each role (can be anonymized by role title if necessary)

Breakdown of any non-salary compensation: KARRAT tokens, equity, bonuses, etc.

Ongoing Reporting (Optional but Encouraged) A bi-monthly or quarterly progress report summarizing team output, achievements, and strategic focus areas

Rationale

This is not a call for micromanagement but for alignment. The Karrat Foundation plays a critical role in supporting the DAO’s mission. Understanding how contributors are compensated and what they are working on allows the community to:

Assess the return on investment of treasury spending

Provide constructive feedback

Encourage transparency and accountability from top to bottom

Implementation

If passed, the Karrat Foundation is requested to publish this information publicly (e.g., in a forum post or dashboard) within 30 days. A quarterly update cadence would be welcomed thereafter to maintain visibility.

Conclusion

Transparency breeds trust. With this proposal, we aim to ensure that the operations of the Karrat Foundation reflect the open and collaborative values of the DAO. Let’s set a standard for accountability and demonstrate our commitment to the principles we all stand for.
