Summary

Requesting resources to organize an event representing ShutterDao 0x36 during the Berlin Blockchain week.

Goals

• Provide physical meetup opportunity for Shutter DAO 0x36 members and supporters.
• Increase visibility and awareness of Shutter DAO 0x36.
• Attract talented builders to contribute to RFPs (EthBerlin especially is traditionally heavily builder-focused).

Proposal

This proposal aims to host a Shutter DAO community meetup during the Berlin blockchain week (May 18-27), specifically on the evening of May 21, 2024 after the opening day of DAPPCON, featuring impromptu talks and facilitating future cooperation between members.

With two critical RFPs open, the immediate attraction of builders is essential. Their expertise is crucial for the timely and innovative development of these projects, directly impacting the progress and success of Shutter DAO 0x36.

There will likely be a shutterised gnosis chain workshop at dappcon, providing further synergy effects for such an event.

We would like to present the following options to the DAO:

Voting Options

Option 1

Requested Budget:

• 15k USDC
• 25k SHU (Organizer’s remuneration)

An event at a nice, fully-managed venue (i.e. catering, music, etc. provided) accommodating 50-80 people, including talks and panel by members and providing enhanced networking opportunities. Provides an option for a competition community event with a giveaway. This option also includes two tickets for DappCon itself for two organizers and some additional merch to be given out to advertise for Shutter DAO 0x36 (Stickers/Patches) at Dappcon.

Duration: Entire evening

Option 2

Requested budget:

• 5k USDC
• 25k SHU (Organizer’s remuneration)

Lower footprint event at a small bar (20-30 people) with complementary drinks (minimum consumption coverage) and an agenda including impromptu talks and a small panel.

Duration: ~1-2h

Motivation

With the growing interest and involvement in Shutter DAO, a community event during ETHBerlin presents an ideal opportunity to strengthen connections within the community, share insights from different perspectives (e.g., keypers, core developers), and increase awareness and engagement through educational and networking activities.

Budget items and organizer remuneration

The exact cost of the items are not yet fixed, however the items to be budgeted for are roughly:

• venue
• catering
• swag
• organizer team compensation

The exact allocation of the granted budget will be delivered for transparency once settled. Out of the grant, depending on the time invested, a maximum of 2.5k USDC and fixed sum of 25k SHU will be allocated for remuneration of the organizers and contributors. The remaining balance will be reimbursed to the DAO.

The organizer team

We are a group of motivated Keypers and Shutter DAO 0x36 contributors, who already started sketching out some plans on the type of event and contacted some potential venues for the occasion.

About me: I was co-organizer for Swag of EthBerlinZwei and EthBerlin³ and have volunteered for ProtocolBerg 2023. Having followed Shutter since the beginning, I have a good relation to the core team. I have been living in Berlin for 5 years and know several viable locations for an event of this type. My project-based work has put me on the bench for a few weeks, which allows me to take the lead on organizing this event.

Expected outcomes

Strengthened community engagement.

Increased interest in Shutter DAO 0x36 RFPs from qualified builders with experience in the space.
