Cabin decides how to spend money in our shared treasury via Proposals. This is where we share drafts of proposals in order to keep the community informed and gather interest. Proposals must be shared here 5 days before being posted for a vote.
There is a high bar for spending our collective treasury. Assume your draft proposal will require discussion, feedback, and edits. If we’re doing a good job as stewards of the DAO’s resources, many proposals will not pass.
Proposals should make a clear business case for how they will create substantially more value for the DAO than they cost. We are focused on proposals that generate revenue for the DAO in excess of their costs.
Good proposals are:
- Concise: brief but comprehensive
- Quantitative: clear OKRs, budgets, revenue, and payback periods
- Mission aligned: help us take clear steps towards building our network city
To be considered a valid proposal, make sure to include the following information:
