SCP-215 (Amendment): Engineering Workstream Contributor Addition, June 1 – September 30, 2026 Abstract This proposal adds discostu as a fractional contributor to the Engineering Workstream for four months (June 1, 2026 through September 30, 2026). Responsibilities cover BD, partner-facing product work, marketing and comms, and targeted engineering contributions with Kev.
FBL is stepping down from the Product Lite Workstream (SCP-210) at the end of May 2026. Discostu’s existing BD scope under that workstream needs a new home. Rather than creating a separate workstream, this amendment places his work under Engineering. This keeps BD and partner velocity intact, supports the DAO’s API revenue priority, and limits governance overhead.
Compensation is 100% FOX ($6,500/month). Zero USDC burn, preserving DAO runway.
Motivation Main objective Reduce the gap with competitors Build long-term relationships with chains and projects approached Work on continuous API/Widget improvement with Kev Once enough chain contacts have been established and the API/Widget is fully polished, launch a coordinated marketing campaign promoting the API/Widget to builders, with chain partners actively amplifying the campaign across their channels for maximum reach Why absorb into Engineering rather than create a separate workstream This role requires close, ongoing collaboration with the Engineering team. Placing it under the Engineering Workstream simplifies that coordination. Lean governance: one workstream, one budget, one contributor amendment, instead of creating multiple parallel proposals. Continuity: avoids disruption to active integrations and communications with current partners (Bob, MegaEth, pait.fi, Brila, and others). Specification Team addition discostu: Contributor (BD, light Product, Marketing/comms), reporting into the Engineering Workstream. Scope: what discostu owns Chain relations
Chain listings: getting ShapeShift listed on relevant chain ecosystems Chain co-marketing: X posts, blog articles, LinkedIn posts coordinated with chain partners Chain integration: getting ShapeShift featured on chain landing pages alongside other bridges Chain analysis: providing the Engineering team with complete analyses of high-potential chains and their ecosystems Partner integration (API/Widget)
Continued outbound to projects for ShapeShift’s API/Widget Closing API partners and managing the BD pipeline API partner onboarding: documentation, technical integration, and support, with Kev Co-marketing management with projects integrating ShapeShift: X posts, blog articles, LinkedIn posts Product
Input on roadmap prioritization: providing competitive analysis and partner pipeline signal to inform Engineering’s decisions on shipping order. Engineering retains decision authority. API / Widget landing page redesign: improving conversion and lead quality, directly aligned with outbound BD. Partner portal page: improving the partner portal to make registration and follow-up more intuitive for projects integrating ShapeShift. Engineering contribution
Competitive intelligence and targeted PR contribution: analyzing opportunities identified in research, and opening targeted PRs to help Kev close gaps with competitors. Operations
Custom automation tool: building and maintaining the Twitter/Telegram/Salesforce tool for partner follow-ups and lead tracking. Marketing and comms: managing partner-facing comms (blog articles, Twitter/LinkedIn posts) and partner communication. Cross-workstream coordination: async with Tokenomics, Operations, and other workstreams via DMs and writing. Weekly written reports: continuation of existing cadence. Scope: explicitly NOT covered Hosting shapeshift.com and Railway migration: remains with Engineering core. Public positioning (Spaces, podcasts): not within this scope. Telegram management: not within this scope. Coordination with Engineering Reporting: discostu’s weekly written reports continue, integrated with Engineering’s existing cadence. Period June 1, 2026 – September 30, 2026 (4 months)
KPIs Outbound and pipeline
Continued outbound to chains and projects throughout the period, focused on quality of relationships. Closes are subject to the API/Widget reaching a polished, sellable state. Chain relations
Secure ShapeShift listings on 80%+ of newly integrated chains Deliver a co-marketing plan for each chain integration Product
Ship the API / Widget landing page redesign during the period Weekly written reports delivered on the existing cadence Budget Compensation structure (discostu) Monthly FOX: $6,500 (100% FOX) 4-month total: $26,000 Zero USDC burn Note: Apotheosis’s weekly hours under SCP-212 are increased from 6 to 8 hours/week to support discostu on calls and weekly check-ins. Monthly compensation goes from $2,688 to $3,583 USDC.
Benefits Resources the API revenue path: drives outbound to chains and projects, owns the landing page redesign, and frees Kev to focus on technical readiness. Keeps BD and partner velocity going through FBL’s transition without a governance gap. Tighter loop between BD/Marketing wins and Engineering shipping (less context-switching). 100% FOX compensation: zero USDC burn, preserves DAO runway during austerity, aligns contributor incentives with DAO success. Lean governance: one consolidated proposal instead of two parallel workstreams. Continuity for active partner relationships already created (Katana, MegaEth, Starknet, BOB and in-flight API customers). Discostu retains direct collaboration with Kev for technical work on competitive PRs. Vote FOR: Approve the addition of discostu to the Engineering Workstream as a fractional contributor for the period June 1 to September 30, 2026, with the scope and compensation outlined above. AGAINST: No thank you!
