Temperature Check 🔥 — [Phase 0] Transition to the DAO

[ange]

Hi Shelby,

Thanks for the support! And I agree with a lot of your points. Especially the intention of exploring ways to empower stakeholders going forward, outside of RAD holdings - this is aligned with Phase 3 of the Distribution of Ownership workstream: “once product matures, start experimenting with different forms of user incentivization via the DAO.”

This seems fair and I would support using this model. Question: Is it the plan to continue this allocation model with future contributors as well?

I would say that future incentive structures should be left up to the RadicleDAO. In general, I wouldn’t want to limit any future incentive structures to this current structure. That’s why there is the intention of the Distribution of Ownership workstream to “Help the DAO develop a strategy for distributing ownership to future contributors.”

I think this would be the best way to approach handing this over. It would important to remain transparent about specifics around what will count as suitable enough infrastructure to have in place to start handing over to other folks/the DAO.

You bring up an important point here. In the general effort to transition to the DAO, it will be important to have security best practices in place (and understood) by contributors as control and management of Core Team funds will become more distributed. It is critical that we look at security when evaluating DAO tooling and implementing processes in the DAO setting - you and I will certainly talk about this in the not-so-distant-future
