SafeDAO Update Week of May 31, 2024

Hello Safe Community! Safe{Con}2 in Berlin was a huge success! If you missed it, you can catch the recording and highlights from the event in this week’s update.

Governance is back in action with two new proposals on Snapshot from Sprint 4 of Season 2, focused on governance amendments.

Additionally, we’ve included summaries of the last two Community Calls, featuring the Karpatkey team answering community questions.

Let’s dive in!

Snapshot Proposals

We are now nearing the end of Sprint 4 of Season 2. This Sprint focuses only on governance proposals and runs from May 13th to June 10th🗓️.

Two proposal drafts [1] [2] received enough support in Phase 1 from delegates with sufficient voting power and made it to Phase 2 voting in Snapshot.

This proposal introduces some changes to the structure of the Sprints within each Season, allowing for governance amendments in Sprints 1, 2 and 3 in extraordinary cases, and regular proposals in Sprint 4 when necessary.

This proposal suggests spending the surplus budget of Season 2 (~$600,000) in Season 3 instead of assigning a new budget. Different voting options outline the way this budget will be allocated from the most popular to the less popular strategies.

I downloaded above :point_up_2: documentation that contains important information.

I am new here but a real enthusiast and loving this community so far. I have a background in education and teaching and feel I could help with documentation, at least for starters.

Thanks.

SafeDAO Update Week of Jun 28, 2024

1600×800 154 KB

Welcome to this week’s SafeDAO Governance update! We’re now in Phase 2 of Season 3 Sprint 1, which continues until July 8th. With five proposals advancing to Phase 2, it’s time for $SAFE holders to make their voices heard. Your participation and feedback are vital in shaping the future of SafeDAO.

Snapshot Proposals

We are currently in Phase 2 of Season 3 Sprint 1. This Sprint runs until July 8th. In this Phase, proposals with sufficient delegate support have been moved to Snapshot for voting.

In total, 5 proposals passed to Phase 2💪. The voting deadline is July 8th 16:00 UTC. If you are a $SAFE hodler, please head to Snapshot and cast your vote!

:nerd_face:Here is a comprehensive summary of the key aspects of the proposals:

SEP # & Discussion Link Summary Snapshot Link
SEP #29 Rocketman’s proposed initative builds on SafeDAO’s mission by merging Safe’s secure and flexible capabilities with the collaborative governance model of DAOs, inspired by the Nouns DAO concept. They are developing the Revolution Protocol extension to enable any Safe to transform into a Nounish DAO, starting with Grounds DAO as a proof of concept. They are also creating a user-friendly website to facilitate the transition of Safes into DAOs, lowering the barrier to web3 governance. Vote on SEP #29
SEP #30 Goverland’s proposed initiative aims to address limitations in delegating voting power on Snapshot as outlined in SEP #16. The Split Delegation feature allows delegating to multiple participants, transitivity of voting power, and delegation term limits. Goverland app users will receive flexible notifications about their delegates’ voting participation, voting actions, proposal creations, and other key events. Vote on SEP #30
SEP #31 Daoism Systems proposes the development of the Decentralized Safe Registry (dSAFE) SDK using Ceramic Protocol and ComposeDB. This decentralizes storage and management of Safe transactions, offering users reduced risks, improved resilience, and greater autonomy with an IPFS-hosted front-end. Vote on SEP #31
SEP #32 StableLab’s proposal focuses on optimizing SafeDAO’s governance by addressing fragmented information, low stakeholder engagement and opaque processes. The goal is to continue to boost community trust and participation by enhancing and increasing the frequency of community updates and fostering discussions in SafeDAO forums. Vote on SEP #32
SEP #33 Citizen Wallet aims to develop a Safe Card Manager Module enabling NFC tags to use Safe Accounts for secure transactions with whitelisted vendors. Event organizers can create unique accounts for each event. The initiative leverages NFC technology for seamless, offline-capable Web3 transactions without gas fees or seed phrases. Vote on SEP #33
