DESCRIPTION
The DAO Governance Squad has been created in January 2022 as a result of a Community Grant given by the Decentraland DAO. From its inception, it has grown into a fully-featured product development team working in an open and agile way, focused on improving the capabilities of the main governance platform of the Decentraland DAO, the Governance dApp, and its ecosystem.
In the last 4 1/2 months (There are 1 1/2 months left in the current Grant period) it has achieved:
Engagement
- Proposal comments improvements - Improved the way the comments from the Forum are shown on the Governance dApp fostering an informed approach to voting and discussion between community members.
- DAO Newsletter - A weekly newsletter with updates, notable proposals, and announcements from the DAO. Right now the audience is composed of 460 subscribers with a 40% average open rate and a 4% average click-through rate.
- 3-Stage Proposal Process - Implemented the new Governance process approved by the DAO on this proposal.
- Mobile Navigation Improvements - Taking into account that more than 30% of the web traffic to the Governance dApp comes from mobile devices we worked on improving the UX and fixed some basic functionality that was broken for smaller screen sizes.
- Search Experience - Attending a proposal published in the DAO by the community, we added search functionality for proposals into the dApp.
- [WIP] VP Delegation Dashboard - The team is currently working on a dashboard to highlight community members that are willing to receive VP and actively participate on DAO voting and discussions.
Transparency
- Transparency OS Project - Improving awareness and transparency of the DAO operations and activity by building a Transparency page, a data dashboard, and a public repo and dataset so everyone can contribute and do their own research.
- Vesting Page Improvements - Improved the capabilities of the Vesting Contract pages, making them work for non-MANA grants, connecting them with DAO proposals, and adding a timeline view for the duration of the vesting.
