Summary:
This proposal suggests introducing an annual Non-Fungible Token (NFT) for membership in the Developer DAO, priced at $100. This innovative and accessible NFT provides a new pathway for individuals to join, fostering community growth while generating funds for activities and reducing dependence on sponsorships and partnerships. Importantly, it also removes the option of joining the DAO through the purchase of DAO governance tokens, thereby emphasising participation and commitment over financial investment.
Motivation:
Our community is the Developer DAOās greatest strength. The annual NFT membership not only provides an easy entry point for new members but also enhances engagement and creates a sense of belonging. This initiative aligns with our commitment to blockchain technology and offers a sustainable model for financial stability and community growth. It also removes the pressure on the governance token to have monetary value. CODE should be earned through participation in the DAO, consequently increasing an individualās influence in the DAO.
