👷 Work Plan

Introduction

Our work plan lays the foundation for the development and implementation of ICRC-75, a standard designed to help DAOs manage lists of cryptographic identities, accounts, and values critical for effective governance. This initiative focuses on developing role-based access control programmable and on-chain, facilitating streamlined, transparent, and efficient management of DAOs’ resources and governance activities.

Phase 1: Definition and Development of ICRC-75

Objective: To define and build the ICRC-75 standard that will enable DAOs to manage cryptographic identities and accounts, orchestrate programmable role-based access control, and optimize resource deployment.

Actions:

  1. Research and Define ICRC-75:
    • Compile requirements from various DAOs to ensure the standard meets the needs of diverse organizations.
    • Define data structures, protocols, and interfaces required for managing cryptographic identities, accounts, and role-based permissions.
  2. Research and Define Portable Credentials:
    • Explore the possibilities of issue Verifiable Credentials, JWTs, and subnet certificates for DAO members to use when interacting with other services, or to prove they are a member of the DAO or a working group.
  3. Development of Roles, Groups, and Permissions Tool:
    • Design and implement smart contracts that define user roles, group memberships, and associated permissions.
    • Develop functionalities to dynamically add or remove roles and permissions based on predefined rules.
  4. Development of Linked Lists:
    • Create systems for auto-populating lists based on inputs from other lists to reduce governance overhead.
  5. Secure Multi-Sig Implementations:
    • Design and implement multi-sig smart contracts enabling actions to be executed only upon consensus from multiple signatories, ensuring security and distributed decision-making.
  6. Working Group Membership Systems:
    • Automate the introduction and rotation of members within working groups based on eligibility and contribution metrics.
  7. Integration and Testing:
    • Integrate permissions and roles framework into existing DAO infrastructures.
    • Conduct extensive testing to ensure stability, security, and versatility.

Deliverables:

  • Documentation of ICRC-75 standard.
  • Smart contracts for roles, groups, and permissions.
  • Automated list population functionality.
  • Multi-sig solutions.
  • Automated working group membership management.

Supported By Patterns:

  • Transparent Governance
  • Decentralized Autonomy
  • Incentive Alignment
  • Resource Optimization

Phase 2: Building Lego Blocks Based on ICRC-75

Objective: To develop modular and reusable components (“lego blocks”) based on the ICRC-75 standard, facilitating easy assembly and leveraging of foundational capabilities in different DAOs.

Actions:

  1. Lego Block Definition:
    • Define the foundational components required, including but not limited to role rotators, fund distributors, and voting booth contracts.
  2. Implementation of Lego Blocks:
    • Develop and test implementation of modular components, ensuring they are plug-and-play and adaptable to varied DAO environments.
  3. Documentation and Best Practices:
    • Create comprehensive documentation on how to use and integrate these lego blocks.
    • Develop best practices for leveraging these components effectively within various DAO frameworks.

Deliverables:

  • Set of modular, reusable lego blocks.
  • Detailed documentation and integration guides.
  • Best practices for leveraging lego blocks within DAOs.

Supported By Patterns:

  • Predefined Action Protocols
  • Feedback Integration Teams
  • Cross-functional Teams

Phase 3: On-Chain DAO Governance Strategies

Objective: To transition more complex forms of DAO governance on-chain, leveraging our developed ICRC-75 standard and lego blocks to automate and optimize decentralized governance.

Actions:

  1. Governance Model Design:
    • Work with leading DAOs to design advanced governance models that can operate fully on-chain.
    • Incorporate complex voting mechanisms like quadratic voting, conviction voting, and multi-factorial consensus.
  2. Smart Contracts for Advanced Governance:
    • Develop smart contracts that support advanced governance mechanisms.
    • Ensure these contracts are fully auditable and transparent.
  3. Implementation and Testing:
    • Implement the advanced governance models in pilot DAOs Canisters that can easily be added to existing SNS and other DAOs.
    • Conduct rigorous testing to ensure seamless operation and mitigate any potential vulnerabilities.

Deliverables:

  • Various On-chain governance models.
  • Smart contracts supporting various approval and voting mechanisms.
  • Testing reports and community feedback integration.

Supported By Patterns:

  • Iterative Funding
  • Impact Measurement
  • Scalable Decision-Making
  • Transitioning to Utilitarian Design

Beyond: Funding and Automation

Continue to explore new ways of funding and allocation strategies for DAOs and exploring tools that can reduce overhead.
