Abstract
The purpose of this proposal is to liquidate all remaining assets and then distribute the whole treasury to the community, then we would close the project for good so that everyone can move on. This will at least allow the community to distribute all remaining funds and move on from this project. As a final act of good faith, LG will facilitate and execute this distribution before closing the doors on the project even if it might require them to work through it during November without any pay (hopefully it could be done by October 31st, 2024). Members of the council will be working with the LG team throughout this process to assist in the completion of this proposal.
Motivation
It seems like many do not want to see the continuation of the project through a DAO because they do not believe it will survive after October 31st, 2024. As such, distributing whatever is remaining between the community and closing up the project seems to be the most logical path forward. If this is not done, after October 31st, there will be no more path forward since LG will be leaving and will also be closing the discord, thus time is critical and sensitive within this proposal.
Details
The process would unfold following these steps.
- The DAO will pay off all remaining liabilities. This includes mod salaries, uniWU.me payment, LG salaries for Oct, Council member payments for the term served if they are eligible, and any other payments that the DAO has committed to for the month of October. After which, no more subscriptions or payments will be made.
- We will shut down all future payments to any subscriptions. This includes:
- uniWU.me maintenance of $5,000 monthly.
- Vault Team staking contract maintenance of $15,000 monthly.
- Laguna Team Multi-Sig Operations, Staking Reward Pool, Marketplace, Website and Staking website Maintenance $7,000 monthly. (Thus staking and marketplace will be permanently closed)
- Twitter blue check $11 monthly
- Gitbook $300 monthly
- Discourse governance forum $100 monthly
- Any engagement or expenses spent on toys or series licensing efforts.
- Any additional monthly expenses for the CU IP that may have not been included above.
- LG will then liquidate ALL remaining liquid assets, including ETH, CU, UNIM, all P2E currency, staking rewards currency, and any other DAO owned currency to USDC and transfer it all to the treasury.
- A snapshot would be initiated (Immediately after the approval of this proposal) by LG to determine the score of each holder to determine their payout. The scoring system would follow the below weighted structure/system. These weightings reflect prices of assets prior to the steep drop in all asset prices, thus most closely reflects what one would have owned in $ amount via assets. We cannot take EVERY CATEGORY into perfect consideration, because that would be too difficult and take too long and we will be left with $0 each by October 31st.
- In order to avoid having to wait for “afk wallets”, such as a wallet hat would contain 1 donkey or very minimal assets, one would have to “opt in” or “sign up” through the CU website or a similar mechanism provided by LG to be eligible for the distribution. This opt-in period will be open for 1 week after the approval of this proposal, after which, nobody else would be eligible to participate in this event. This is because time is critical, and we do not have much time to wait around to execute this event before LG will be exiting the project.
- As a sign of good faith, LG will not opt into this Leaderboard with the LG held assets that were supposed to go to marketing through airdrop events. Thus, all LG nfts will not count in this distribution. Ideally, payouts will happen immediately after the 1 week grace period to opt-into the Leaderboard event and will conclude by October 31st, if it takes a little longer to process the payments, LG will remain on board and keep the discord up and support the community for free until the payments are fully complete.
- Once LG has fully executed this leaderboard event and fully distributed the treasury (whether through airdrop or in the CU claim page) to the community and ensured all technical issues with payments are fully resolved, it will then mark the end of this project. At this point, it serves as the formal dissolution of the DAO and its charter and that the project is closed and the IP is considered dead.
Conclusion
This proposal would allow the whole community and LG to fully move on from the CU IP and project with at least some money prior to the closing of the project. It would also allow the community to move on from the DAO option, which seems to been an unpopular option because of its very high chance of failure and lack of clear direction. Since we only have until October 31st, 2024 to act on this, time is very critical, especially with the closure of the discord which is expected to happen during that time.
