Description

How to participate on the NEAR forum: https://gov.near.org/t/guide-governance-challenge-metagov-dao/1582

To help you scope out your projects, we’ve identified a range of governance challenges motivated by the real issues faced by Web3 communities. Challenge areas in bold are funded, meaning that you can earn additional bounties (whether or not you win a prize above) for submitting a proposal that answers that challenge.

Challenge Areas

Propose Your Own Challenge!

Are you facing a problem but don’t know what the solution should be (or how to build it)? If so, consider submitting your own governance challenge to Metagov. If your challenge is accepted, your challenge will go on the list above, and you’ll get 20 NEAR just for writing the challenge and 100 NEAR if ANYONE (including yourself) answers the challenge.

Activation Week

This hackathon is a bit special: we’re running it entirely through DAOs. That means you’ll need to register through a DAO and that the vast majority of hackathon prizes will be awarded through a DAO on NEAR to a DAO that you create. To make that prospect sweeter, we’re encouraging people to get onboard early with $5,000 in prizes to be distributed in the first week.

To qualify for a 30 NEAR payout (~ $120 USD), all you have to do is register a Sputnik DAO for your project, have a council with your team as voting members, and submit a 500-word draft proposal to the Metagov DAO within the first week of the hackathon (deadline: May 22, 23:59 GMT). In addition to the direct payout, a submission will also qualify you for a round of special prizes to be announced during the first week. Note that there’s a finite prize pool for payouts, so proposals will be answered first-come-first-serve.

Submission Requirements

Due: 12pm ET on June 5th

  1. Post your submission to the Governance Category of the NEAR Forum with tag “metagov”

Here is a guide: https://gov.near.org/t/guide-governance-challenge-metagov-dao/1582

Please use this template to structure your post: https://gov.near.org/t/proposal-example-project-proposal/1578

  1. Add a new payout proposal to the Metagov SputnikDAO. The payout target should be your team’s DAO, and you must include a link to your forum post. Judges will use the link provided to make a voting decision on your submission.

Please only use only one forum thread per submission.

Forum posts can be edited or replied to if you need to add content to a submission.

Judging Criteria

Challenge entries must consist of a submission post, a slide presentation, and a GitHub repo with code (where relevant). Entries will be judged on four criteria:

We want to emphasize something: entries do not have to be technical. We encourage a mix of technical and social innovation—remember, blockchain itself is, at its core, a social innovation as well as a technical one!

Winner Announcement Date

Project proposals will be reviewed by the Metagov DAO council on a rolling basis, May 14 until June 6. Keep in mind, there will be $5000 of NEAR distributed in the first week! Final prizes will be announced on June 6.
