These are the first steps to bringing your Flunks utility ideas to life!

Before we begin if you would like to learn more about CafteriaDAO and what it means for Flunks NFT holders take a read through the first article here.

Prior to Making a Proposal

First and foremost we advise all Flunk holders to discuss their thoughts and ideas with other Misfits in the CafteriaDAO channel in Discord prior to and after submitting proposals. (You may be able to form a team to help brainstorm and work on your ideas!) With CafeteriaDAO we will be forced to lean on you, the community, a little bit to help us create these events and bring them to life as we won’t always be available to create events in person or online. Don’t worry too much about this though; we’ll do our best to support each proposal that is passed through the committee. Once you have fully thought through the proposal that follows the guidelines above it’s time to submit the proposal on CAST!

Each of the things you would like to happen with the CafeteriaDAO funds will require a proposal from the community via CAST. Here is the info required for a proposal to come to life:
TL;DR: Insert a short summary of your proposal, something easy to digest.
Insert Description Here, the more details the better!
How does it benefit Flunks/CafeteriaDAO?
What is the cost breakdown?

CafeteriaDAO proposal walkthrough

  1. Connect your Dapper Wallet at https://cast.fyi/
  2. Find the CafeteriaDAO community within CAST under the DAO category and join the community. (Or just click the link here)
  3. Click the big button that says “Create Proposal”

4. Fill in the “Title” and “Description” that will include the following criteria:
Proposal Reason or Problem Statement: Describe your proposal or a problem that you are trying to solve.
Solution: Describe the solution to the proposal (If applicable)
Cost: Describe the cost breakdown of your proposal
How does it benefit Flunks or CafeteriaDAO? Describe how this proposal will benefit Flunks

If Applicable:
Phases — describe the phases of this proposal, Rome wasn’t built in one day, nor will your proposal. Outline phases 1, 2, and 3 of your proposal and what each phase aims to achieve
Marketing Requirements: describe any marketing the Flunks team needs to push in order for this proposal to be completed
Development requirements: describe any development the Flunks team needs to push in order for this proposal to be completed
Anything Else: If there are any other details, please add them!

5. Set up the voting strategy as follows to make sure your Flunk Fam can vote properly. Please set it as follows:
- Voting Strategy: Balance of NFTs
- Minimum Balance: 1
- Maximum Weight: 9999

This will make your proposal only available to Flunk holders and gives each Flunk owned its own vote. i.e. if you own three (3) Flunks you will put forth three (3) votes toward your decision.

6. Set up the voting choices for your proposal simply so everyone understands if they are voting for or against your proposal. (The specific words don’t matter. Just make it understandable please)

7. Please set the start date of your proposal to be a minimum of three days from the time of its creation, and the end date of the proposal to be at least one week apart from the start date.

For example: If today is 12/02/2022, set the start date to 12/05/2022 and the expiration to be at least 12/12/2022.

This will give everyone adequate time to weigh their options prior to voting, and adequate time to vote on the proposal. Yes, these things take time.

8. Once all these steps are complete make sure everything looks correct and publish your proposal! We would encourage you to share your proposal with everyone in the CafeteriaDAO channel in Discord. This will provide more eyes on each proposal.

There we have it! Proposal = proposed.
