Motivation

CryoDAO is a decentralized collective to fund cryopreservation research. Many of the active contributors came out of the broader VitaDAO sphere to focus primarily on funding research in the space of cryopreservation.

CryoDAO shares a lot of similarities in how it is structured, operates, and wants to fund research, and is fundamentally also a longevity DAO with a focus on cryopreservation.

We propose a "DAO2DAO relationship" between VitaDAO and CryoDAO to formalize a partnership that would benefit both DAOs from a collective research agenda, incentive alignment, marketing and branding standpoint.

Goals

The primary objective of this DAO<>DAO relationship between VitaDAO and CryoDAO is to join forces on our shared missions to work actively together towards making the maximum progress. This relationship will allow both organizations to benefit from each other's resources (talent, capital, etc.), reach new audiences and grow their communities.

Implementation

Science

• Partnerships, sharing deal flow between VitaDAO and CryoDAO, co-funding projects together, deal by deal if interesting to the VitaDAO community.

Operations

• Asyncs aligning and sharing research projects among the core teams of both DAOs, as well as among specialised sub-groups such as working groups
• Collaboratively work on shared issues around legal, tokenomics, governance, tech, operations and other domains

Community & Awareness

• Co-organise events and/or conferences
• Create a channel that is synced/mirrored between both DAOs’ Discord servers
• Collaborate with content distribution on Twitter, Medium, YouTube and other platforms
• Reference the other DAO during relevant public engagements

Tokenomics

• Exchanging $100k of VITA (at 30d TWAP of closing) with $100k of CRYO, that is used for mutual liquidity provisioning to the VITA<>CRYO Balancer pool, and with the equal commitment to keep the tokens for at least 4 yrs.
• Additionally we propose VITA contributing $50k directly into CryoDAOs treasury in exchange for the current exchange rate, to be used fully for funding research.

Next steps

• This proposal also needs the approval of the CryoDAO token governance community and process.
