Thanks for the ping, @lavande!
This mission has been a great success. Here are the updates on what we’ve achieved::
Improvements to technical infrastructure:
-
We’ve deployed the EIP-4824 registration factory on Optimism Goerli and Mainnet, as well as subgraphs to index EIP-4824 registrations on these chains. A full list of deployments can be found here: DAOstar Contract Registry - Google Docs
-
The DAOstar explore page has been configured to automatically pick up and display EIP-4824 registrations on Optimism: DAOstar
-
We’ve made significant improvements to the daoURI creation flow, integrating with both Snapshot and Boardroom, to automatically generate subURIs given a DAO address. DAOs on Optimism, by only entering their ENS name (for Snapshot), can generate a proposalsURI and membersURI through these integrations. They may add their website, governance doc, contract list, etc. to this and generate a daoURI in minutes. The daoURIs generated are automatically stored on IPFS.
We are currently working on a comprehensive membership management system as well as on improvements to the search and filter of registration instances.
Adoption:
To execute this mission, we’ve presented EIP-4824 at more than 15 DAOs in the Optimism ecosystem. While 3 have already decided to adopt, more DAOs, including dHedge, Lyra, Stargate, have expressed interest in learning more and reconsidering once there is more momentum behind the standard (which we have now). Outcomes from our outreach:
ShapeShift: The proposal to adopt EIP-4824 passed unanimously at ShapeShift DAO: Snapshot
Unlock Protocol: The proposal to adopt EIP-4824 passed unanimously at Unlock DAO: Snapshot
LXDAO: LXDAO reached consensus on adopting EIP-4824 and already published their daoURI: DAOstar
Optimism DAO: We’re grateful for the backing received from the Token House to carry out this mission. Substantial conversations has been held with the foundation and key delegates on how to best support the Optimism DAO on their journey to EIP-4824. In this regard, the following proposal was shared to the Foundation: Extend the Optimism DAO with EIP-4824 - Google Docs, which was approved, following which this guide to publishing a daoURI was shared: Extend the Optimism DAO with EIP-4824 - Publishing a daoURI - Google Docs. Additionally, we’ve been encouraged to explore the Optimism Attestation Station as an innovative onboarding route for EIP-4824 in the future.
Due to the evolving nature of Optimism DAO’s governance structure, notably the Citizen’s House and member definitions, the implementation is still in progress. Rest assured, we should be able to support Optimism DAO in publishing a V1.0 of their daoURI soon.
Snapshot X: A notable adoption achievement apart from the DAOs above is Snapshot X. The on-chain governance framework from Snapshot, which supports Optimism, now has native EIP-4824 compliance. Hence, going forward, all Snapshot X spaces will automatically contain a daoURI, making the adoption process for future DAOs easier.
Discussions with DAOs in the Optimism ecosystem have provided us invaluable feedback. The ShapeShift community in particular provided important feedback on how they view the manager role as well as on the decentralized management of daoURIs.
We would like to note that the timeframe required for taking a proposal like this from ideation to consensus, even though it involves no transfer of funds or changes to existing infrastructure, is rather long. Every DAO that decided to adopt had a long feedback window, followed by development efforts from our end to customize their daoURI and finally voting and execution. Hence, we will be continuing this work at full pace, until every DAO and protocol on Optimism can understand and adopt EIP-4824. DAOstar is also committed to improving the amount and state of DAO activity on Optimism.
We have worked closely with the likes of Boardroom, Snapshot and other members of DAOstar One in building the necessary infrastructure for EIP-4824. We’re also grateful for the valuable feedback we’ve received from various DAOs, as well as from individual contributors such as @kaereste and the foundation, represented by @lavande. We thank them for their support and also the Optimism community for entrusting us with this mission! Together, let’s continue to build a more interoperable DAO ecosystem on Optimism and beyond!
