Protein Community Season 1 Proposal

Summary

The aim of this proposal is to get our community’s consensus and support on the top level goals, timeline and operational structure of our Season 1. If our Pre-season was laying the foundations, Season 1 is building the house. Over the next few months, we will establish our position within the Web3 landscape as an incubator of ideas that reflect our Good Growth mission by offering education, expertise and funding.

Season 1 will start on 1st November 2021 and run for a period of 60 days. Voting will take place through Snapshot using $PRTN and voting will start on the 22nd of October and close on the 25th. All founding members have 20,000 $PRTN to cast their vote. The team has shared this document with the community prior to the vote.

Working Groups

How we’ll achieve this...

We will be implementing processes and cadences which align with our good growth framework, including five Working Groups. We propose these groups have a set number of $PRTN tokens to distribute to contributors, this process will be established by the governance and treasury team and taken to a snapshot proposal for the wider community:

Education

Responsible for scouting education opportunities in web3, creativity, and beyond

Governance

Responsible for ensuring the Community runs smoothly on a day-to-day basis, and new Community proposals are heard, discussed and responded to

Treasury

Responsible for overseeing and managing DAO funds, as well as initiation and exploring ways to grow the Protein Community Treasury

Membership

Responsible for onboarding new community members, as well as maintain overall community health

Good Growth

Responsible for developing, upholding, consulting and advising on good growth framework, ideals and practices

---

Funding

We propose a small Season 1 NFT crowdfund in early/mid November to bring funds into the Protein Community Treasury to cover day-to-day operational costs of the part time core team, platforms and marketing

Following this, we propose a second larger strategic treasury diversification raise in mid December to fund our first cohort of PRTN projects. This proposal will be shared with the Community and led by the core, governance and treasury teams.
