Linked Pre-Proposal

Should the DAO assign VP to Decentraland's Content Creators?

Summary

This proposal aims to grant Voting Power to content creators in Decentraland who submit their wearables and emotes collections and have them approved by the Wearables Curation Committee, thereby increasing their influence in governance decisions.

Abstract

In recognition of the contributions of content creators to the Decentraland ecosystem, this proposal aims to allocate Voting Power (VP) to creators based on their approved wearables and emotes collections. By linking VP to approved submissions, this initiative strives to encourage ongoing contributions and acknowledge the creators’ role in the Decentraland development.

Motivation

Content creators are integral to the vitality of Decentraland, crafting the items that define user experiences. Currently these creators lack representation in governance. This proposal seeks to change the situation by assigning VP to creators, ensuring their efforts are recognized and rewarded.

Specification

The VP would be awarded as follows:

• Content creators must pay a submission fee of 100 USD paid in MANA for each creation item submitted to the marketplace.

• Once a collection is approved, the submitting wallet will be credited with an amount of VP equivalent to the MANA cost paid during submission.

• The VP amount will be determined by the MANA's price at the time of submission or approval.

• The VP will be calculated at a rate of 1 MANA = 1 VP.

• Should a collection be rejected, the awarded VP will be deducted from the creator’s total VP count.

Policy Implementation

This policy will only apply to new submissions made after the implementation date of this proposal if approved in the next governance stage. All past submissions will not be eligible for VP based on their previous submission fees.

Snapshot Strategy Development

To accurately reflect the allocation of VP for content creators, a specific snapshot strategy will be developed and integrated into the Decentraland governance system.

Conclusion

This proposal aims to ensure that creators are vested stakeholders in the governance of Decentraland. This change is expected to foster a more diverse, and engaging metaverse, directly benefiting the entire community.
