VDP-6 VitaDAO Working Group Projects Framework

NOTE: This is a duplicate of an on chain proposal from prior to VitaDAO's using snapshot, and is present here for completeness on snapshot. No snapshot vote occurred.

Summary

In order to organize contributions more efficiently, this proposal introduces a project-based framework which allows groups and individuals to receive funding and proper remuneration for their work. The framework describes a unified structure for how projects should be presented, with the intent to scale VitaDAO's operations while preserving transparency and accountability.

Proposal Details

After launch and with the increasing complexity of Working Groups - I’d like to propose a simple project application process for now. The aim is that all work done receives approval and individuals can get compensated properly for their contributions.

Projects can apply with the following template:

Project Lead (Discord username)

Who is leading this project? If approved, is that person willing to take on the Team role of lead for the project’s duration?

Team (Discord usernames)

Team - who will be involved in the project?

Description: What is the project?

Describe in a few short sentences what this project is about.

Problem: What problem is this solving? Why?

Briefly describe what problem this aims to solve. Why is this a problem worth solving? If this impacts the user, explain how it impacts them. If it helps, frame the problem as a pain point to the VitaDAO community. If applicable, please also mention the OKR this Project is contributing to.

Success: How do we know if we’ve solved this problem?

List out expected outcomes/goals for the community if you achieve the project goal. What does the project aim to accomplish?

When: When does it ship, and what are the milestones?

Define a timeline for how long you think this project will take. What are key milestones you will focus on?

Budget

What is the expected budget, and how will this budget be used and distributed among the team.

The finished proposal will then go to the Working Group Steward.

Within a certain threshold (I propose 2’500 USD), the two working group stewards (two) will approve the Project Proposal.

Projects between 2’500 USD and 10’000 USD have to be approved by a majority vote of VitaCORE.

Projects between 10’000 USD and 50’000 USD have to be approved by a majority vote on Discourse (Maybe Snapshot in the Future).

Projects over 50’000 USD have to be approved by an On-Chain vote.

Long-term this can be also use an online form to be more standardized and transparent.
