Abstract

Now with resources and funding, SquiggleDAO has the opportunity to support and empower anyone who wants to further the DAO’s mission.

At least 2 Discord posts and 2 social media posts publicizing SquiggleTank each month
At least 1 award submission each month
At least 1 executed idea each month
An end-of-month report on the previous month’s executed project, including KPIs that reflect how the project added value to the community and/or furthered our core mission of Squiggle culture and growth
Costs/Budget
1,150 $SQUG per month: 1,000 $SQUIG (or $5k/month equivalent) for award recipient(s), 50 $SQUIG per person for 3 committee members
Project size:
$5k USDC max
<4 weeks to delivery
Pitching & Award Process
- At the end of each month the DAO will actively solicit SquiggleTank submissions via social media and within Discord channels.
- SquiggleTank award nominations will be submitted via squiggledao.com and will be open from the 1st through the 25th of the month
- The selection committee will make awarding decisions by the last day of the month
- Multiple projects may be funded in a given month, provided that the committee stays within monthly budget
- Significant preference is to pay awards in $SQUIG but the committee may also consider USDC or ETH as necessary
- Awards disbursements ($SQUIG or otherwise) will be made upon project completion, as verified by selection committee
- Any SquiggleTank award recipients will be expected to publicly report on results of their project by the 25th of the month following the award.
Squiggle Tank Selection Committee
- The selection committee will consist of 3 DAO members who volunteer. In the event more than 3 people volunteer to be on the committee, a DAO vote will decide who serves on the committee.
- Each selection committee member will receive 50 $SQUIG as compensation for serving
- A selection committee member must recuse himself/herself from decision making if that person has a pending SquiggleTank award submission
