What you Need to Know about Units DAO
Units DAO serves as the heart of the Units ecosystem, where pivotal decisions are made to shape its future. All new chain launches are approved through the DAO, ensuring community-driven governance at every step. In addition, Units DAO is responsible for allocating grants to projects launching on the Units platform, supporting innovation and growth. By participating in DAO activities, Unit0 token holders play a critical role in fostering a thriving and sustainable blockchain ecosystem.
We value transparency, fairness, and collaboration as key principles for the success of our community. This document outlines the rules and guidelines for both users and projects engaging with Units DAO to ensure a thriving and harmonious ecosystem.
1. Core Principles
- Collaboration and Respect: Respect other community members, their opinions, and contributions. Foster a supportive and inclusive environment for all participants.
- Merit-Based Evaluation: Evaluate projects and proposals based on their merits, potential ecosystem impact, and alignment with the goals of Units DAO.
- Ecosystem Growth: Decisions should prioritize long-term growth and sustainability of the Units ecosystem over short-term gains.
2. Rules for DAO Participants
As a Unit0 token holder, your participation in governance is crucial. Here’s how you can contribute effectively:
2.1 Participation in Governance
- Stay Informed: Educate yourself about each proposal before voting. Blind voting can harm the ecosystem. Take time to analyze the project's roadmap, milestones, and value proposition.
- Assess Impact: Evaluate each project based on its potential to enhance the Units ecosystem and the value it brings to the Unit0 token.
- Collaborate: Engage in discussions, ask questions, and provide constructive feedback on proposals.
2.2 Voting Rules
- Stake a minimum of 1 Unit0 token to participate in voting via the governance portal: https://dao.unit0.dev/.
- Vote only for proposals that:
- Present a clear and detailed roadmap.
- Show measurable milestones and objectives.
- Demonstrate tangible value to the ecosystem.
2.3 Best Practices for Voting
- Prioritize projects that align with the core principles of the DAO.
- Avoid supporting projects that:
- Lack a development plan.
- Seek funding solely for deployment without clear objectives.
- May sell grants for profit without delivering value.
- Remember, your votes shape the future of the ecosystem - vote responsibly.
3. Rules for Projects
Projects are the lifeblood of the Units ecosystem. To ensure alignment with our goals, all projects must adhere to the following guidelines:
3.1 Proposal Requirements
All proposals must include the following information:
- Project Overview: Provide a clear and concise description of the project, its mission, and the problems it aims to solve within the blockchain ecosystem.
- Roadmap: Provide a clear and realistic timeline for project milestones.
- Milestones: Break down the project into actionable steps, with grants tied to milestone completion.
- Social Media Links: Share links to official project accounts for transparency and accountability.
- Value Proposition: Explain the project's contribution to the Units.Network ecosystem.
3.2 Grant Allocation
- Initial deployment grants are limited to 20,000-30,000 Unit0 tokens.
- Subsequent grants are released based on milestone achievements, such as TVL (Total Value Locked) growth for DeFi projects or user acquisition metrics for DApps.
- Projects must stake 1,000 Unit0 tokens to submit a proposal. This stake discourages spam and low-quality submissions.
3.3 Ongoing Responsibilities
- Regularly update the DAO community on progress toward milestones.
- Notify stakeholders promptly of any delays or changes to the roadmap.
- Utilize grant funds responsibly and solely for the project's development within the Units ecosystem.
