Still looking for a solution for this, Potlock, may be interested in integrating this in product stack

I need to update this RFP as the scope has changed. Will do so ASAP!

[ewiner]

Is this sentence accurate? If so, I think we should add it to the RFP:

There is an existing UI for the SputnikDAO v2 contract available at https://near.org/astraplusplus.ndctools.near/widget/home?page=daos. However, it exposes the full functionality of SputnikDAO, which is much more complicated than just treasury management. A dedicated MultiSig Treasury application can attract a wider audience of less technical users.

[codingshot]

The following proposal is to build upon Astra++ and Sputnik contracts to improve functionality of DAOs (including NFT + Token based daos) as requested for a year, from a dedicated NEAR native team (Potlock Protocol - Potluck Labs & Potluck Foundation). We are passionate about DAOs on NEAR, support the DAO community and lack of innovation of DAOs is a blocker in our roadmap to decentralization. This proposal is to fund the advancement of DAO contracts and accompanying contracts. It is not directly to serve the Infra Committee need for a chain dashboard, I recommend integrating DAO proposals into current DevHub SaaS Product (estimated 1 x 2 week sprint).

Proposal (WIP) at https://potlock.org/dao-proposal

[ewiner]

@codingshot It's an interesting proposal, but it seems to me like it's going in the opposite direction as the RFP. This RFP is trying to solve the problem that our existing DAO tooling is too complicated for the simpler common case of multisig treasury management. And your proposal is solving a different problem, that our existing DAO tooling is missing advanced governance and permissioning features to attract new tokens and communities.

Does that distinction make sense? If so, maybe we should consider your proposal separately.

[trechriron]

I think Shot's ideas are fantastic and would improve available functionality for all DAO's. I agree that it might be better to pursue as a separate workstream.

[codingshot]

It definitely addresses a greater need. I think your proposal should be integrated into devhub's flow by just turning decisions into proposals and approved proposals to transfer proposals, or this will just turned to an abandoned project. I would like to be considered for a separate proposal to improve DAO infrastructure on NEAR.

[KazanderDad]

Is the intent to award this to one single project, or are you open to funding more than one?

In my view there should be room for more than one UI for Sputnik. Having two full-featured UIs would provide optionality for users and much needed redundancy if one goes down. In addition to any simpler / specialized UIs, and/or a battery of BOS components that could be integrated into any app.

[ewiner]

Speaking as just one member of the committee, I'm open to funding multiple projects. However, it's worth noting there's already a UI for Sputnik at https://near.org/astraplusplus.ndctools.near/widget/home?page=home and this RFP is essentially to create a second, simpler one.

[ori-near]

The DevHub Portal team is thrilled to submit our proposal. We believe our solution will significantly streamline the entire payment operations for the Infrastructure Committee, NEAR Foundation, and other ecosystem entities.

We at Harmonic Guild are very excited to share our proposal for this RFP. We believe that the NEAR Ecosystem could use a production grade application for all its treasury management needs.
We think the application has a potential to become very useful to not just existing entities (managing big treasuries) but to also the wider ecosystem consisting of groups and individuals too.

Here is the link to the proposal - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nK6wmqaXnbQuDXxf0I1JREGNSAcd4qZ37guRVwhR_Hc/edit?usp=sharing

Here is the specific Github issue assigned to the proposal for further discussions.

We look forward to feedback and engagement from committee members, members of the working group and the whole Near ecosystem.
