What’s New

Season 1 Specification: Last week, we dropped a sneak peek of Season 1. This week, the authors provided a full specification of Season 1. It's a must-read 📚 for anyone that wants to join the DAO.

📊 Some Pretty Graphs: @paulapivat put out a forum post exploring Bankless DAO Twitter Analytics to see the DAO's impressions and engagements over the first month. He also revealed Community Call POAP metrics. We're sitting at around 160+ claimed POAPs per community call!

POAPs Forever and Always: Last week, a number of DAO members met with the POAP team to scope out a potential business opportunity 🤑🏅🤑

Building a Liquity Front-End: @yves has been hard at work creating a decentralized front-end in Figma to the Liquity protocol.

BanklessDAO Discord Bot: @nonsensetwice, @brianpatino.eth, and others are having fun building a Discord bot for BanklessDAO, complete with integrations into Notion and eventually Web3!

📐Onboard Sneak Peek 👀

The 📐 Onboard Project is underway! We started with the 🤝  Onboard Coordination Kickoff meeting on 6/3. A lot of great 💭  ideas were discussed on that call and the squad got to 💪  work right away! Since then those ideas have taken form.  We now have a skeletal frame full of visual concepts.

The first meeting was followed up with a 90 minute 👩‍🏫  Onboard Wireframe Sprint call on 6/9 that was 🔥  fire! 🔥 

During the week, Didier.Krux.eth crushed it with his research on educational tools and methods we could incorporate. He also started the wireframe!  👀

He shared his screen with the group and we navigated through preliminary pages and discussed user-flow and interface complexity.

Prior to the meeting, VΞritas created the framework for deciding about OnBoard content and Ap0ll0517 started working on the Wallet Basics course content. 🎓  Educational content was a huge focal point of the discussion and a great brainstorming session ensued. Some of the topics included: 

How much content should be included?

Should there be courses or modules?

Should users be able to skip content to prove competency?

How could users' progress be tracked?

On 6/10, momentum carried over into the 🤝  2nd Onboard Coordination Meeting. It was determined that a project of this magnitude requires guild reps to help coordinate tasks and ensure that information is properly communicated between the guilds and the 📐 Onboard team.

RedVan and MrPackman shared the 📐 Onboard survey that will be open from 6/11 to 6/20. 🤯 You could win BANK!! Any respondents who complete the survey and provide their discord handle will be entered into a raffle to win 1,000 BANK tokens! Click this link to complete the survey.

Creative juices were flowing and the buzz of excitement was evident. There's a ton of enthusiasm involved in this project. It's contagious. Want to join the initiative and get involved? Jump in the #📐 onboard channel in Discord and volunteer!

Live Proposals

Reward Season 0 Active Members: Snapshot voting closes in just a couple of hours! When complete, DAO members will begin a one-week voting period using Coordinape before distributing 1M BANK proportional to votes. Any DAO member that has at least 35k BANK is eligible and can opt-in using this form. It's official: contribute to the DAO, make BANK. 💰

Proposals in Discussion

Improving BANK Liquidity and Utility: This proposal aims to create an 80% BANK/ 20% WETH pool on Balancer V2 and apply for a tier 4 BAL reward slot. If accepted, the BANK/WETH pool would serve as a primary liquidity 🌊 source for the BANK token as well as increase the token's utility 🛠 . BANK holders would be able to provide liquidity directly to the pool, earning BAL tokens and trading fees.

BanklessDAO NFT Sales Compensation and Budget: NFT sales are a great potential as an ongoing revenue source for the DAO if executed properly. This proposal will establish a compensation model that is in line with other projects in the DAO. At the same time, this will establish an operational budget that can be used to offer bounties for articles for blogs, marketing, and so forth.

Should the BANKLESS DAO Utilize Revenue to Bolster the Value of BANK: Over the past several weeks, the community has been engaged in a vigorous discussion on Discord and the forum focusing on the nature of the $BANK token.

Adjusting BanklessDAO Membership Requirements: The start of Season 1 is the DAO’s opportunity to adjust the minimum requirement to join the DAO. Right now this stands at 35,000 BANK.

Action Items

Contributor Rewards: Sign up to participate in the Season 0 Coordinape distribution. 💰

Onboard User Research Survey: Submit a response to be eligible to win a raffle prize of 1k BANK.💰
