Radicle Grant Application

Project Overview :page_facing_up:

General Information

  • Project Name: Radicle Org / TributeDAO Framework Integration
  • Team Name: HunterDAO
  • Payment Address: 0xAB2ab7053F7c2831865E3507F072fd297bcee3c2 (USDC)
  • **Level: :seedling:-Seed

TributeDAO Framework is a modular and extensible solidity smart contract framework for building decentralized autonomous organizations. The team will develop an adapter smart contract, along with the updates to the tribute-ui repo, to fully integrate Radicle Org with DAOs built on the framework.

Overview

We are applying for this grant to help build out essential components of our DAO, the HunterDAO, that will, in turn, be provided as open-source software under the MIT license to any projects using the TributeDAO framework. We believe in the power of DAOs to help communities organize around financial, human, and financial capital, controlling capital allocation through transparent, open, and decentralized discourse. We believe integrating Radicle Org into the framework will enrich the DAO ecosystem and facilitate open-source software development by enabling financial incentive systems rewarding contributors for their time and effort.

Ecosystem

This project intends to provide DAOs with an easy way to manage open source projects while financially rewarding members for their contributions. We believe that the TributeDAO Framework and Radicle Org are important projects striving to progress the web3 industry’s growth alongside the DAO community. By allowing projects built on TributeDAO to easily integrate Radicle Org’s decentralized code repositories and reward members for contributions, DAOs working on open-source software projects will be empowered to manage their repos and deploy reward systems incentivizing contributions through community funds. As a DAO framework, all discourse in TributeDAO based organizations is transparent, open, and decentralized.

Project Description

TributeDAO smart contract modules can be one of two types (e.g. extensions or adapters). This project will contribute to the tribute-contracts repo by developing an adapter smart contract with the funding provided by Radicle Org through this grant proposal. Our contribution will allow DAOs built on TributeDAO to manage open-source software projects using the governance mechanisms included in the framework or developed by said DAO.

The adapter will configure a Radicle org for a DAO when the adapter initializes following a standard governance proposal. Additionally, the adapter will enable a DAO to create, and vote on, multiple proposal types related to the general administration of a Radicle org including the rewards system provided by the radicle-contracts.

Furthermore, the team will contribute to the tribute-ui repo, providing the functionality to support all new proposal types. Both pull requests will include a complete test suite and documentation for all updates as described in each repo’s contribution guidelines.

Future Plans

We will begin promoting HunterDAO and the Radicle Org TributeDAO adapter through various online communities we are members of. As active contributors to these projects, we expect to receive valuable feedback while attracting new users to TributeDAO and Radicle Org. The team views this as an essential part of our project’s community-building initiative and a reliable methodology for promoting Radicle Org and the TributeDAO framework.

The HunterDAO will implement the Radicle Org Adapter for the TributeDAO Framework in testing on a local devnet. Upon this project’s completion, testing of the adapter on an Ethereum test net will validate its use within the DAO’s software development methodology. By putting the adapter in the hands of real users, we can identify any unnoticed usability issues or bugs from the perspective of key stakeholder demographics.

Following the successful completion of this project’s milestones, the HunterDAO team will apply for multiple additional grants during Q2/Q3 2022. These grants will be related to the implementation of cross-chain functionality within the radicle-cloud repo and a drips-hub integration with TributeDAO. The latter taking one of two possible forms; the first updating the original Radicle Org adapter, and the second being the development of a new adapter specific to the drips-hub project).

Furthermore, we may make an effort to contribute to SourceCred by integrating Radicle Org, enabling objective reputation scores for community members through quantitative analysis of Radicle’s decentralized code repositories. Other possible integrations the DAO will evaluate developing for Radicle Org include the Praise Bot DeepDAO, and other contributions to the Radicle Org’s core repos.

Any of the aforementioned projects we do not pursue in the immediate future will likely be documented and provided to radicle-dev as an RFP.

Hello

Thanks for this.

In general, this application is really vague. So I’ve left some questions below.

Radicle Org (?)

In your Overview, you’re referencing “Radicle Org” but you’re linking to the main radicle.xyz website.
Do you mean Radicle Orgs as outlined here?
Or do you something more general about Radicle?

Please be more specific here.

Adapter

The adapter will configure a Radicle org for a DAO when the adapter initializes following a standard governance proposal. Additionally, the adapter…

What’s an “adapter”?

Openlawteam

What is Openlawteam and how are they related to this work?

It’s mentioned twice without any explanation.

OrgV1.sol, OrgV1Factory.sol and RewardV1.sol

It sounds like this work is already done.

Is that correct?

If so, can you please provide the following?

  • Link to GitHub
  • Description of what these do (if it’s clear from the GitHub repository or a previous PR, feel free to link to that)

Overall Feedback

The application is a bit too vague for the current milestones.

I’d recommend the following:

  • Visualizing some of the work you’re doing. It might be beneficial to show how each of the components you’re building relate to each other (it seems complicated)
  • Assume that people reviewing this don’t know much about it. As an example, I would not mention something like OrgV1.sol, OrgV1Factory.sol and RewardV1.sol without explaining or providing links to them. This sort of thing creates many more questions than answers.

Let me know if you’d like to have a call to go over any details if that’s easer.

Thansks for the feedback @bordumb, I’ll get these changes done immediately. I can see have those references to specific teams and smart contracts could appear vague. I suppose some additional background on the TributeDAO Framework is necessary. Also, I attempted to include more links than are currently present. However, I was limited to 8 links as I was just starting to get involved in this discourse forum and had limited permissions.

Given that I still cannot edit my original post, I will post another response with additional updates. If this ends up being somewhat confusing, I will post the entire updated proposal in the post.

Do you think it is reasonable to change the edit post permissions to allow newer members to edit their posts for longer than 1 day? Perhaps 14 is appropriate given the timeline for proposal voting?

TributeDAO Framework is a modular and extensible solidity smart contract framework for building decentralized autonomous organizations and is an open-source project built by Tribute Labs (openlawteam on Github). Modules within the framework can be classified as either extensions or adapters.

Overview

We are applying for this grant to help build out essential components of our DAO, the HunterDAO, which will be provided to the TributeDAO framework for anyone who wants to integrate their DAO with Radicle. We believe in the power of DAOs to help communities organize around financial, human, and financial capital, controlling capital allocation through transparent, open, and decentralized discourse. Integrating Radicle into the framework will enrich the DAO ecosystem and facilitate open-source software development in a completely decentralized way.

Ecosystem

This project intends to provide DAOs with an easy way to manage open source projects while financially rewarding members for their contributions. We believe that the TributeDAO Framework and Radicle are important projects progressing decentralized technologies and organizations. By allowing projects built on TributeDAO to easily integrate Radicle’s decentralized code repositories and reward members for contributions, DAOs working on open-source software projects will be empowered to manage their repos and reward contributors. All discourse in TributeDAO based organizations is transparent, open, and decentralized.

Project Description

TributeDAO smart contract modules can be one of two types (e.g. extensions or adapters). Adapters exist to introduce additional functionality to a DAO and/or modify a DAOs existing features. This project will develop an adapter smart contract and updates to the frameworks boilerplate web app. Our contribution will allow DAOs built on TributeDAO to manage open-source software projects using the governance mechanisms included in the framework.

The adapter will create a Radicle organization with a .radicle.eth ENS for a DAO when the adapter is initialized. Additionally, the adapter will enable a DAO to create, and vote on, multiple proposal types related to the general administration of a Radicle organization, such as the anchoring a project to the organization.

We will include a complete set of tests along with documentation for all updates as described in openlawteam’s contribution guidelines.

Hi

Can you please define what an “adapter” is?

This appears to be an incredibly important component to your grant, but it is not really defined. The grant is written with the assumption that the definition of an “adapter” is understood, which is not a safe assumption.

I would answer the following questions:

  • Simply, what an adapter is, what it does, etc.
  • What problem is it solving

Trying to read this application without understanding what an “adapter” is is very difficult.

Thanks!

Sure, first you need to understand that the framework contains a few core smart contracts and modules which extend their functionality. These modules can be either extensions or adapters. Extensions can only be tied to one DAO address and exist to simply core contract code. Adapters can provide additional smart contract functionality to a DAO and many include new unique proposal types and/or voting mechanisms.

To quote :

The main design goal is to limit access to the smart contracts according at layer boundaries. The External World (e.g. RPC clients) can access the core contracts only via Adapters, never directly. Every adapter contains all the necessary logic and data to update/change the state of the DAO in the DAO Registry Contract. The DAO Registry Contract tracks all the state changes of the DAO, and an Adapter tracks only the state changes in its own context. Extensions enhance the DAO capabilities and simplify the core contract code.

A key concept here is to ensure the information always flows from the External World to the Core Contracts, never the other way around. If a Core Contract needs external info, it must be provided by an Adapter and/or an Extension instead of calling External World directly. In addition to that, only Adapters and/or Extensions that have access rights can push/pull information to/from the DAO Registry Contract.
