Help with Operations

dOrg is realizing the vision of a decentralized world not only through the tech we build for clients, but also in the way we run our organization. That’s why we have multiple ways for any member to contribute to internal needs:

  1. Swarm: Permissionless funding for spontaneous/one-off contributions.
  2. Initiatives: Pre-approved projects with fixed scope that advance dOrg’s strategic objectives.
  3. Roles: Pre-approved roles with ongoing responsibilities in distinct domains.
💡
Don’t forget
  • Ops Meetings - open to all members every Tuesday @ 9am EST on Discord
  • Ops Budget Sheet - tracks payments for all internal work.
  • Dework Board - tracks work items across all internal work streams.
‣

Swarm

Any dOrg member can claim up to 10 hr/mo at $40/hr by logging contributions in the Swarm tab of the Ops budget sheet by the end of the month.

Swarm is intended to cover small tasks like content creation, bots, website fixes, and engaging on governance matters. You can claim or create new tasks in the Swarm Dework board.

⚠️
Project sourcing efforts are NOT covered by Swarm, since this has its own commission system.
‣

Initiatives

For larger scope items, you can request a dedicated budget. Check Initiative tracker.

  1. Use this template to create a proposal and post to the forum here.
  2. Integrate feedback and post for a vote on Snapshot.
  3. Track tasks in the relevant Dework board.
  4. Log work in a dedicated tab on the budget sheet.
  5. Submit treasury impact of your funded initiative using simulator.
✅
Funded Initiatives (FI) leaders responsibilities:
  • Keeping track all builders log their hours and tasks
