A Proposal to Create a Voting Escrow NFT and Governance for ContinuumDAO

[Joe BN1]

I think the proposal from @hal0177 seems reasonable and hear the comments regarding having a vested interest in the DAO moving past this stage of work.

I really like the idea of attaching images to the NFT's. The current logo could lend itself well as the basis of the images. As a designer I would be open to testing out a range of sample images.

@Joe-BN1 Thanks. Let's see how much effort is required to do this and if Hal is willing. We will discuss and then get back to you.

Proposal seems good to me, +1 for adding images to the NFT.

An additional feature, building on those on TG, is to allow Opensea users to see how much CTM is locked within a veCTM, and for how long. The system used by Multi had a gazillion zeros behind each NFT and it was too difficult to read.

I am good with the cost. It is wonderful that a dev is interested in owning veCTM. Great proposal.

I'm all up for your proposal Hal. The sooner you start the better in my opinion..

Hi @Jerry, thanks for the reply. From my understanding of the White Paper, the liquidation penalty is 50% for a full lock, decreasing linearly to 0% at unlock time. I will update the doc to reflect this detail.

Hi @Selqui, good idea. The functionality for this feature is built in to ERC721 already, so yes, it's possible.

Hi @Raini-Ng, I appreciate the comment. I agree about the veMulti display issue, it should be more readable.

As for OpenSea, I believe they get the image from the NFT smart contract once and cache it for further use, meaning the data displayed on most of the NFTs on OpenSea is not up to date. Not to worry, we'll always keep this data up to date on our site.

@Everyone, thanks very much for the feedback and suggestions. I have already created a repository on GitHub with the bare bones of the system, pending successful vote. Please reach out to me on this thread or on TG, any further concerns or suggestions are welcome.

The Final Vote on this is now live. I will leave this thread open for on-going discussion :- https://forum.continuumdao.org/topic/16/003-final-vote-the-creation-of-a-voting-escrow-nft-and-governance-for-continuumdao

Tally Integration: A time lock provision will be included to allow the Committee to prevent the automatic execution of a voting result within a defined window following a successful vote.

Im interested to learn what or how many votes will cause an overide so it cant be abused on the otherside.

cheers,

@murchadh Thanks for bringing this up. We have two methods of executing governance - Snapshot and Tally. With Snapshot, a Committee member must post the proposal, but with Tally, anyone with sufficient voting power of 1% can do so and the result is automatically executed, so that in theory a malicious actor could submit and pass a proposal, which would drain the Treasury for instance automatically. The time delay gives the Committee an opportunity to stop this, since only proposals that do not 'further the Vision and Mission of ContinuumDAO as laid out in this Constitution' should be allowed to execute. This is a safety mechanism that many other DAOs also use.

The Constitution also says that 'if the proposal is re-submitted unaltered and if it once again passes, then the Committee may not squash the vote outcome for a second time'. This limits the power of the Committee to ignore the will of the DAO.
