Mission Request
Delegate Mission Request Summary: Build an automated grants system that allows builders to gain access to a grant (in the form on a stream) with low friction, and receive payout based on meeting the given criteria.
S6 Intent : 1 Progress Toward Decentralization (DAO Infrastructure)
Proposing Delegate/Citizen:
Total grant amount: 99k OP
Should this Mission be fulfilled by one or multiple applicants: One
How will this Mission Request help accomplish the above Intent?
This Mission quest aims to drive intent #1 - Progress Toward Decentralization - by innovating on organizational decentralization, making improvements in user experience (UX) that will increase the votable supply as well as the number of citizens that feel comfortable voting.
The OP grant system is a wonderful technology, that largely is inaccessible due to its cumbersome nature. I consider myself an advanced web3 user, and I have hard time navigating the grants process. However Iām someone who is incredibly passionate about the superchain, and someone who really wants to make an impact.
Hence, I propose to design this system to lower the friction, and increase the usability of the OP grants system.
The grants system is arguably the most powerful tool that the Superchain has due to the potential of enabling a virtuous cycle, where more developers building = more utility = more usage/revenue which = more developers building.
We can make significant advances in the grants system that can help us accelerate this flywheel.
What is required to execute this Mission Request?
- Grant Specification:
The automated grant system should work in two ways:
- User ā Grant/Proposal and
- Grant/Proposal ā User
Meaning the user can get a grant for their own idea, or they can sign-on to do an existing one.
For each, the grant object should contain the four simple properties: 1) the product - whatās getting build, 2) the results - how the results should be measured, 3) a description, 4) the people working on the product.
- Identity System
An identity system can be designed such that it can compile credentials that demonstrate a userās ability to execute a proposal, as well as the userās history on the superchain.
- Frontend Design
Lastly, the UI/UX is perhaps the most important part to driving usage of an automated grant system.
How should governance participants measure impact upon completion of this Mission?
- Number of identities created
- Number of attestations made as a result of hitting criteria
- Number of transactions on OP, for each identity
- Milestones:
- Grant specification complete, parameters set
- Grant system implemented
- Identity system complete, algorithm to determine score based on credentials complete
- Frontend design complete, which integrates the grant system with the identity system
- Impact and Metrics:
- Number of identities created
- Number of delegations with identities
- Number of grants created
- Number of grants completed
- Number of attesations made in each grant
Has anyone other than the proposer contributed to this Mission Request? No
North Star Metric for evaluation
This mission quest should be evaluated using the āTotal Amount of Addresses Voting for the First Timeā. It is likely the best measure of increasing the votable supply under this implementation.
