Across protocol organigrama

Days ago, I uploaded a proposal over discord about the governance of the DAO. Here is it so everyone can read it.

Mission and organization chart of the DAO

There are different types of DAO, some for altruistic purposes, others for educational, development and / or training purposes and of course, investment

A DAO by definition does not have a single head. You don’t have a single government or management team deciding what to do. Instead, its members and the wider community agree on a set of fundamental principles that include defining a goal and precise rules on how to cooperate to achieve it. Therefore, unlike governments or companies that are hierarchical, DAOs are networks of stakeholders that cooperate around common aspirations.

Organizational advantages:

Open: Anyone can come, contribute according to the rules and may or may not be rewarded.

Common Interest: Stakeholders are aligned through incentives and network design.

Trustless: The trust required for members to cooperate through trustless tools is minimized

Scalable: low marginal cost for each additional member

Transparent: all rules, technology and mechanisms are available for public scrutiny.

What to expect when launching a DAO?

It takes commitment, intellectual honesty and, most importantly, patience. Coordinating people on the Internet is a difficult and chaotic process. When done right and key missions done, it can pay off.

Main tasks of an active member of a DAO

Sell ​​/ convince: raise funds and convince others to contribute to the project.

Operations - Make sure everything works at the same time. Schedule DAO meetings, prepare meeting agendas, write meeting notes, and implement processes.

Delegation - After a certain point, most of the work is distributed within the DAO. This means understanding how to extend and define work items, how to allocate them, how to vet contributors, and manage results.

What is really useful but not absolutely necessary to launch a DAO?

Fundraising experience

Experience in leadership roles

Community building experience

A good network / reputation in the relevant community

What would the launch of ACROSS DAO look like?

:books: Brainstorming

An idea for a DAO comes up.

Write all ideas, thoughts, concerns, and questions about DAO in a document as a brainstorming exercise. Share this process with others. Do not delay more than a week.

Discuss and select the best ideas to later write into a document that explores the mission and vision of the DAO, how to imagine the governance decisions it would make, the assets it would manage and also an initial mission for the DAO to achieve as its first milestone along with the resources needed to do so.

:incoming_envelope:Validation

Share the DAO idea with 5-10 people for feedback. Maximum one week

Summarize all comments in one document for review.

Those who say it’s a good idea, get involved and promise resources. This will give an idea of ​​what people think; improve, change, and iterate as needed.

In a telegram chat group ask all supporters of the project if they want to join it. This will become a community chat where communication will be maintained, and ideas will be shared for comments and interaction with people interested in getting involved.

:sunny: Public statement

Communicate by blog post and share it publicly.

Send everyone interested in the project to the community DISCORD chat. It will have to be a different one than ACROSS PROTOCOL DAO This will be the base of operations, welcoming people, answering questions and building a community!

Raise funds, find resources and contributors necessary for the DAO to reach its first milestone. Don’t waste more time than is necessary to get the project started.

Mission:

The mission is the development of an autonomous decentralized organization for investment performance (for profit DAO) in decentralized finance protocols, through the study, knowledge, assessment and vote of its members.

Along these lines, the ACROSS PROTOCOL DAO investment group team is working to define the governance of the DAO.

Among other actions, it is necessary to delineate the areas of action of the community and determine the guiding roles for the management of these functions. Subsequently, as the project unfolds, many other open team roles will be introduced to the ACROSS PROTOCOL DAO Investment Group community, allowing you to learn and make your own contribution.
