Hey everyone! Passionate hatcher and supporter here of both TEC and CS 💚 I'm submitting this proposal in the hopes to create a conversation and evaluation team around a potential high-impact go-to-market strategy. Before I start, please forgive me if this contravenes TEC processes or just all around doesn't make sense - happy to can it - as I'm not fully in the loop.
-- Proposal Information:
Hypothesis 1: TEC consists of the best token engineers in the web3 space. Other very wealthy DAOs are desperately craving counsel on their token and incentive structures... 💡 PraiseBots, hatch parameters, bonding curve issuance are incredible design parameters few DAOists know about.
Hypothesis 2: It feels to me sometimes a bit like the TEC community is over-engineering its own design params. Dogfooding the dogfood. The Hatch took a long time and in my opinion was in some aspects convoluted bc. we wanted to experiment with multiple designs - best intentions of course.
-- Idea: What if the TEC community began integrating its amazing ideas into the many DAOs that face big incentive problems and through that rapidly prototype the tool kit.
Dogfooding only works for so long 🐶 and the opportunity here to help is incredible IMO. We can always revert to our own tooling and perfect that!
-- Proposal Ask: create a small 3-week project team to evaluate if, what and how TEC tooling could be serviced to another DAO for income. Requires time commitments.
-- Outcome: identify one DAO that will buy a solution (effectively the design-thinking to help implement a TEC module) for income & integrating a TEC module into the wild. Why paid? Because that increases the stakes and expectations and good work deserves to be paid.
Insert meme: "You guys are getting paid?"
-- Team I couldn't lead this but could certainly help source DAOs.
