as i mentioned on the other dao thread i have been playing around with aragon to see if it would be suitable for us to build a yfi-governed dao.
behold ! waifu1.aragonid.eth
https://rinkeby.aragon.org/#/waifu1.aragonid.eth
i got the dao to the point where i can start inviting people to join and test. it’s on the rinkeby currently so i just gave myself permission to mint tokens for anyone who wants to join the dao and test. i also gave myself permission to burn tokens in case enough people disengage that we consistently fail to make quorum… which brings me to the current dao settings.
the voting app is set up almost identical to the current dao: 50% support, 15% min. approval (equivalent to 30% quorum when using 50% support setting), 8 hour vote durations. we can change these settings if we decide we want to, but i figured 8 hour vote duration would give people enough time to get the notification and vote.
that brings me to the next point: if you do decide to join, turn on email notifications so that you can get an email whenever a vote starts. to turn on notifications click the gear icon in the top right of the aragon dapp then hit the notification button in the menu. it’ll be clear from there what to do to finish setting that up.
what can you do once you join the dao?
-
you can create new polls using the voting app. just click “new vote” then ask a yes/no question. then other token holders will be able to answer yes/no on the poll. these kinds of votes are only informative, they don’t result in any specific action on-chain.
-
you can deposit funds and propose to make a withdrawal using the finance app. i airdropped a bunch of test tokens into the dao so you can propose to send yourself some test tokens and have other token holders vote whether to approve the withdrawal or not.
-
you can propose a dividend distribution using the rewards app. this will send a one-time or recurring dividend distribution in the amount specified divided proportionally among all token holders.
-
you can use the agent app to interact with any other smart contract on behalf of the dao (!) you can use the aragon cli to do this if you are comfortable with the command line or you can use frame which is like an alternative to metamask that also supports signing transactions on behalf of aragon daos ! there are only a few dapps on rinkeby that we can test with right now but if someone wants to deploy the yearn contracts to rinkeby we could also test upgrading the contracts using the dao.
if you are interested to join the dao and try it out share your rinkeby eth address as a reply on this thread and i’ll mint you some tokens.
everyone who shares their address will get 100 tokens. remember to turn on email notifications so you know when to vote on txs! and if you do create a proposal, post a link to it in this thread with some more information about it so we can make an informed decision whether to vote yes or no
if we like the experience then we can move on to discuss how to hook up the mainnet yearn contracts to a real mainnet aragon dao ! yfi ftw !!
