The Cartographer Syndicate aims to establish a robust governance framework that ensures transparency, inclusivity, and efficiency in decision-making processes. Our governance strategy is designed to empower community members, facilitate collaborative decision-making, and adapt to the evolving needs of the Web3 grants ecosystem.
Governance Framework
- Principles and Values:
- Transparency: Ensure all governance processes and decisions are open and accessible to the community.
- Inclusivity: Encourage participation from all community members, valuing diverse perspectives and expertise.
- Efficiency: Streamline decision-making processes to enable quick and effective actions.
- Governance Structure:
- Soft Governance (Initial Phase): Begin with informal consensus-building and off-chain governance mechanisms to establish foundational processes.
- Hard Governance (Future Phase): Transition to a formalized, on-chain governance structure that incorporates smart contracts and decentralized decision-making.
- Decision-Making Processes:
- Proposal Submission: Allow members to submit proposals for review and discussion.
- Voting Mechanisms: Implement transparent voting systems that enable members to express their preferences and influence community decisions.
- Feedback Loops: Establish regular feedback channels to gather input from members and incorporate their insights into governance practices.
Governance Tools
- Snapshot: Utilize Snapshot for off-chain voting and proposal tracking, ensuring a transparent and accessible process.
- Governance Tokens: Introduce governance tokens (ERC-721 or ERC-20) to facilitate voting and incentivize participation.
Governance Goals
- Empowerment: Enable community members to have a meaningful impact on the direction and priorities of the Syndicate.
- Adaptability: Develop governance processes that can evolve with the community's needs and the broader Web3 ecosystem.
- Sustainability: Create a governance framework that supports long-term growth and resilience.
