DAOstar Strategy

Descriptions of the entities:

Strike Team: “core developers”, but we are hiring some marketing & business development to support standards adoption, so this is transitioning into a core team with a broad set of capacities

DAOstar One / DAOstar Foundation

DAOstar Working Groups: these are various working groups, currently 3 active

DAOstar Two (DAO of all EIP-4824 DAOs, this is a future initiative)

Metagov

Mission

The goal of DAOstar, as a project, is to build and promote the adoption of open, interoperable standards in the DAO ecosystem. More broadly, the goal is to facilitate more collaboration and coordination between DAOs, DAO tooling providers, and other stakeholders across the DAO ecosystem.

Of note, Metagov’s mission here is to promote the DAO ecosystem as a potential “governance layer for the internet”.

Activities → Entities

Activity	Currently managed by	In future managed by	MVP change
Core development of EIP-4824 and succeeding standards	Strike Team	Strike Team (effectively decentralized out of DAOstar, to become a network of core devs / people with repo permissions)	none
Website development of daostar.org	Strike Team	DAOstar One, Strike Team	none
Organizing potential standards + new DAOstar Working Groups	Metagov	The entire ecosystem, + a set of volunteer editors, with support from the strike team qua “core devs”	Josh needs to release a DAOIP repo, make the process permissionless (OR: raise more money for standards operation)
New standards writing	DAOstar Working Groups	ㅤ	ㅤ
Publishing new standards	Metagov, DAOstar Working Groups	Decentralized to a DAOIP system / an independent repo	ㅤ
Supporting new standards	DAOstar Working Groups, Strike Team	DAOstar Working Groups, DAOstar One <> “core devs”	ㅤ
Roundtable meetings	DAOstar One (David, + other participants who set up agendas)	DAOstar One	ㅤ
Fundraising	Metagov	DAOstar One, SCRF?	ㅤ
Small events (brunches, meetups)	Metagov	DAOstar One	ㅤ
Community building with DAOs	Strike Team	DAOstar Two	ㅤ
Partnerships, business development	Metagov, Strike Team, DAOstar One	DAOstar One	ㅤ
ㅤ	ㅤ	ㅤ	ㅤ

Of note, there needs to be a relationship between the foundation and the core devs, possibly contractor with these? Grants can be complicated. Some core devs are grants and others are contractors, and yet others are grant-giving bodies of their own (which can lead to double-paying).

Pay for someone to write funding applications in advance, to get a 200k budget? To get someone good, you need 500k already committed—want a runway?

Position is designed to be occupied by someone who is either retired and able to work.
