Retro Output
| Topic | Stop | Start | Continue |
| Funding | - Paying for everything, especially regardless of RoI - Unclear guidelines on token distribution - automatic funding - paying for microroles - paying for duplicate efforts (pods, Nls etc) | - easier to do business with across projects (revenue & sponsors) - Retro-grant funding w/community voting on % - require funding requests to put up collateral (smart contract ie Raid Guild) - introduce some sort of KPIs to projects and initiatives funded - focus on products that can bring revenue to the DAO, have an ROI | - Some form of funding for "lights on" - minim payment |
| Governance | - Lack of coordination in brand usage - stop using the bankless brand - A token who’s only utility is conversion to fiat - Permissionless everything. Fair gates keep order. - Bankless Brand | - make people accountable if damage was done to the DAO - thinking: what is actually $BANK token? | - Governance to assist to Charter branding permissions |
| Org units | - having 100 guilds for onboarding | - | ㅤ |
| Constitution | ㅤ | ㅤ | ㅤ |
| Vibes | - thinking that DAO work can replace tradWork - | - DAOING for fun | - community calls - Fun vibes and connection - irl events - DAOING for fun |
| Mission | - onboarding new people to the DAO as mission - paying learners to learn - striving to make profit - maybe instead of "help the world go bankless", we can approach from a "support financial self-sovereignty" angle | - Become a Social DAO. That offers pathways to Web3 - with a mission that appeals to core contributors - intentional community building - Focusing on scalability of our mission & efforts - mission to differetiate us - make a clear, scoped list of actionable ways to address the mission - defining what we mean by education, media, and culture - creating onramps to the tech (rather than the dao) - thinking about the shortest mission statement possible - breaking our mission into operational parts | - Helping people into web3 - Guiding people (communities) in Web3 tools and practices, especially in funding mechanisms |
| Operations | - too much decentralization - Decentralization for the sake of it - Processes for the sake of having processes | - make onboarding ded simple - Distributed systems over decentralized systems - more edu & promo spaces and audio events, webinars - more cross-collaboration efforts - aggregating existing resources (youtube videos, how to's, etc) instead of recreating them internally | - Keep Ops going Notion, Discord (lights on) - Educational tweets on MD social channels - Making room for experiments |
