GalacticDAO Update 🏗
Quick Dev Nebula update going into 2022.
This update is written by Frank, Co-Founder & Technical Lead at Galactic Punks.
GalacticDAO — Dev Nebula Update
Over the past month, we’ve been hard at work at the GalacticDAO to bring together a lean team of talented and passionate individuals.
Our goal at the Dev Nebula is to craft, build, and maintain the Galactic Hub. This includes everything from the front-end website, at galacticpunks.io, to the smart contract code that powers on-chain proposals.
Here’s an update on what we’ve been up to over the past month & what to look forward to in 2022:
The Team
We started with a team of 1 — just me. In order to build and scale the DAO, we needed to bring on additional talent across every part of the software development stack. We began this initiative with a call-to-arms within our community. Thanks to the passion and talent of our GP holders, we now have 3 additional members on the core development team, responsible for UI/UX (Austin), frontend dev (Kirill), and backend dev.
For those who wonder — this translates into a burn rate of approximately $4,500 UST per week.
Website Redesign
One of our first initiatives is to revamp the existing website with styling in-line with the Galactic Punks theme. In our initial crunch to create a home for the punks, we didn’t iterate too much on the UX/UI of our site. Thanks to Austin and the input from the GDao team, we began re-envisioning the design and workflow of our website.
Meanwhile, Kirill and I have been pushing code to make this a reality. Over the coming weeks, we’ll continue to revamp the existing site to fit these new guidelines. Launch date is TBD 🙂.
Building for On-Chain Proposals
We promised 100% on-chain proposals. They’re coming.
The smart contracts for on-chain voting are done. In a nutshell:
- Each NFT entails 1 vote
- Each proposal will require a “cost” to the DAO treasury to create. This specific cost is TBD but acts as a natural spam filter
- Each proposal can have any number of different options — this enables multiple choice voting
- Each proposal will have an end date, after which the proposal is “closed”. If quorum is reached by the close date, then the most-voted option is passed
To provide a good user experience, we’re building a backend (likely in Node.js + PostgreSQL) to enable easy querying, filtering, and sorting for the Galactic Hub voting interface.
Speaking of which, Austin has designed an initial set of mockups for what the proposal workflow and the treasury monitor will look like. Feedback is welcome & encouraged đź‘€:
Let us know what you think about these designs!
Until Next Time.
That’s a wrap for this update. 2022 has a lot in store. We’re excited to continue to build the new home of GalacticDAO. If you have any questions or want to get in touch please reach out to a crew member over discord.
