PASSED PROPOSALS
Sponsor a booth at ETH Denver 2023
-
Total Proposed Budget: $15,000
The following proposal is to get the ShapeShift DAO to sponsor a booth at ETH Denver 2023.
- ShapeShift DAO had sponsored and run a fundraiser in 2022, and before that Centralized ShapeShift has been attending and sponsoring ETHDenver for the last 5 years, as this event was in centralized ShapeShift’s own backyard. Now that we are a DAO and decentralized, the DAO should consider many events, but what better way to start this DAO sponsorship theme than through our roots at ETHDenver.
- If it were to pay for it now and get the early bird special, the DAO could get the basic Block sponsorship level with the early bird booth upgrade level for $15,000 USDC.
- A follow up proposal will be submitted for other expenses related to the event, but for right now, this is to just secure the booth and get the early bird specials.
ACTIVE PROPOSALS
Outsource the DAO’s Responsible Disclosure Program to HackenProof
Total Proposed Budget: $75,000
In the absence of a Security Workstream the DAO’s Responsible Disclosure Program (RDP) created in SCP-46
- needs a sustainable path forward to ensure we incentivize security researchers to disclose vulnerabilities that may adversely affect the DAO, token holders, or our community.
- provides an affordable, easy to administer, crypto native platform that can fulfill our current needs for a monthly fee of $1,200 USD + 10% of bounty payouts.
Shapeshift has a long history of taking security seriously.
- established the DAO’s RDP in SCP-46 that is currently without a clear owner or budget after the expiration of the Security Workstream.
- In order to continue this program it requires an owner responsible for its administration within the DAO, a budget, and resourcing to ensure its success.
