LunarDAO is sunsetting LunarDAO I and will summon a new DAO (LunarDAO II) also with Moloch V3 architecture. This DAO will raise funds for DarkFi R&D, by buying an NFT.
Problem
There are a few existing problems with the current DAO setup.
The gas fees on Ethereum mainnet are high and most members do not actively participate in governance.
If we would remain in the current setup, new members who join the existing DAO are exposed to past investments. This is why the option of creating sub-DAOs have been chosen a parts for LunarDAO next move.
Solution
We will summon a new DAO, LunarDAO II and everyone can join on the same conditions, by offering a tribute which will turn into shares for governance in the new DAO, these will also represent a share of the NFT.
We want to sunset LunarDAO I and move towards new adventures.
The solution is to call to all LunarDAO I members to RageQuit and ensure that the ones who don’t do in time will not be exposed with their funds to malicious proposals. This can be done by changing the
quorum to 100% which effectively turns LunarDAO I into an escrow holding participants tokens. Every member has no other option than to RageQuit from LunarDAO I, keep their FIRN token to support the project, earn fees and possibly use ETH to join LunarDAO II or other future ventures of LunarDAO.
What do you mean gas fees are high? It’s like at 1-3 gwei since blobs?
It’s kinda the first argument you make and I think it’s worth challenging.
Otherwise, I know y’all want to do an NFT sale and there’s probably no other way to do ot other than by rebooting. Just call a spade a spade more directly.
From some discussions we’ve had on irc, were previously mentioning the gas fees
I think this originally started the convo for the idea for a different chain, it doesnt seem to be a huge issue currently, not sure how fees will look in the future or if it stays in this low gwei range
There were also some headaches with trying to keep multiple DAOs live. If I can remember correctly. its not as simple as just pointing LD1 to LD2
The RQ mechanism makes it easier for everyone to get out, close up shop, and begin anew
There have been discussions about trying to build an LD treasury in a few different places, but nothing has come of it yet
What governance? There hasn’t been an onchain proposal in over a year. Moving to an L2 with a centralized sequencer isn’t the wei.
Isn’t that the point of an investment DAO? Future contributions should not only be based on a valuation of share/loot price, but the contributors should also be aligned with LD’s investment thesis.
It actually is pretty much that simple. With moloch it’s easy to create shared treasuries between DAOs and sub-DAO systems.
If there’s interest in the TC front-end, bring up in a new thread or come swing by the community discussion on Monday’s, theres a few more people there that you can bounce ideas off of
This proposal has passed, theres one day left in the grace period
The quorum for LunarDAO I was raised to 50%, this makes it more difficult for proposals to be passed. LD I accomplished its role of funding Firn and receiving tokens for all members.
So in an attempt to ossify the governance, the quorum was raised to a larger number than before (which was 20%, I believe). This makes it more difficult (but not impossible) for the use case that a malicious user ends up holding a large portion of the governance token and executes malicious actions (like transferring the entire treasury). This especially becomes a concern as more people ragequit and the percentage weighting of governance tokens shift.
