Rarible DAOhaus Boost

link to forum post: https://gov.rarible.com/t/collector-daos-with-rarible-boost-on-daohaus/13023

TL;DR

NFT creator, collector, and curator DAOs are gaining a lot of attention right now. This proposal is to build a native interface on the DAOhaus platform to interact with the Rarible protocol.

Problem / Opportunity

Collecting NFTs with friends through a DAO presents a new opportunity for engagement between creators and collectors within the NFT space. It would allow people across the globe to participate with each other in the creation of and hunt for hidden NFT gems and the next amazing NFT drop.

Because members of a DAO would coordinate together to find these precious tokens, they would work as a curation team and build their reputation as quality NFT hunters.

On the other side of this market are creator teams; artist co-op DAOs are gaining increased popularity, and the use case for blockchain governance is clear. It is a strong use case because creators know the power of network effects, and they know that artists who build together win together!

The opportunity here is that a native integration would lower coordination costs and improve user experience. DAOs will form specifically to collect NFTs using the Rarible minting & marketplace protocol.

DAOhaus is a community-centric DAO platform that allows various communities and organizations to deploy their own DAO with little overhead and modularity.

The platform itself is managed by a DAO that has built the first DAO2DAO ‘super dao’ under the name UberHaus. If Rarible passes a Grant proposal like this, it is likely that UberHaus will match it. This would insure that the needed resources are in place to make building and shipping the integration quick!

Minty is a platform to build, operate, and fund NFT DAOs with a community of collectors and investors. We are contributing to, and funding open source development of the core tech needed to launch community governed NFT collections.

Funding Milestones and Payments

Milestones & payments:

Phase 1:

• Research on feasibility of the Boost with testnets(kovan) and EVM sidechains (xDAI/polygon), get user feedback on the use case. Spec initial design with Figma prototype. explore rarible protocol api and contracts. Research impact on DAO RQ dynamics when the DAO holds non-divisible tokens. Consider both share buyouts and fractionalization.
• Research application of AMB to govern & hold NFTs on different chains/ layer 2
• User interviews and feedback, dao community outreach and engagement
• Engage initial communities that want to use and test initial project Work has begun on this and a demo was given to the Rarible Governance Team

*Phase 1 Deliverable: Working figma prototype, documentation of reseach and user testing.

Phase 2 (Rarible Collector DAOs):

• Design sprint around native integration; allow DAOs to buy, bid, sell and display ownership in a DAO gallery.
• Allow DAO members a way to exit the DAO with their fair share of the holdings
• Full technical sprint for Minion/Boost support of Rarible protocol on mainnet and applicable sidechains

*Phase 2 Deliverable Technical sprint and further implementation plan, Dao contract extensions for nft ‘vault’, buyouts, and new membership with nft tribute

Phase 3 (Creator DAO):

• Implement the front end gallery, and all needed functionality in the app through the Rarible DAO Boost.

*Phase 3 Deliverable ship working app and onboard initial DAO communities. future development

Future development

• Have a minting interface and further built out Rarible ‘shop’
• NFT appraisal integration to help DAOs value their collections & share prices

Payments

(payments on mainnet in USD equivalent RARI)

• Phase 1: 5k
• Phase 2: 20k
• Phase 3: 20k future dev will have a new spec and proposal

Payments will be made to the following Ethereum address: 0x3Be7264F5b60635F434559Ab4abc839958768cF2

We consider ourselves independent contractors of the Rarible DAO and will report taxes accordingly. Forms W8-BEN and W9 will be filled out accordingly before funds get distributed to our team. [this is a requirement]

Use of funds

Funds will be used to pay DAOhaus core team and hire web3 product professionals for support as needed.

Business Model

To grow the Ethereum, DAOhaus and Rarible communities through joint collaboration.

Note: All software produced should be open source with MIT license.

Roadmap:

• Kickoff 05-18

• phase 1 - (3 weeks)

• research tech specs (2 weeks) -- rarible protocol (maker/taker, buy/sell/transfer, flow between discovery on rarible markets and buy proposal, eip1271 (contract signatures), delegate / broker / early execution minions, escrow (kleros, Raid Guild smart invoice), wrangle scope) -- buy out options and alternatives like fractionalization -- amb bridge (gnosis amb module, minion amb module) -- report

• research user interviews (15-30 interviews) (2 week) user should be able to fill out a form to give us their response we should have a list of users to distribute too create a report on findings

• figma 1 week -- dependent on research -- cross chain -- new minion ux -- implement clickable prototype

• phase 2 (3 weeks) -- tech spec sprint (1 week): minion design, buyout, nft tribute with new members, buy/sell/bid, testing -- dev/implementation (2 weeks): Custom Minion contract dev, contract signatures -- design tweaks -- design global NFT gallery exploration (1 week)

How long has your team worked together? What other projects have you worked on?

We have worked together for 3 years. Some other projects we helped found are MetaCartel and RaidGuild

Accountability

Our project will attend weekly community calls, and provide updates on our milestones as we make progress. In the event that we can’t fulfil our commitment, funds will be returned to Rarible DAO. We will also work with community members to ensure updates are distributed through the Rarible communication channels.

Note: we expect all teams to attend community calls :slight_smile:

Why should Rarible DAO fund this?

DAOhaus lives by the rules of the community first manifesto, we see a lot of alignment with the Rarible team and its community-centric approach. This kind of collaboration is what dreams are built on :slight_smile:
