Mission

Our primary mission is to provide data applications and insights that enable BanklessDAO and the wider DAO ecosystem. We aspire to answer two fundamental questions:

  • How do we measure whether or not we are getting closer to accomplishing the mission of BanklessDAO?
  • What organizational and financial metrics as well as social signals can be studied to improve our success?

Consistent with the Bankless ethos, the Analytics Guild supports decentralized web and open source and will develop solutions available to all.

Season 3 Bounty Budget

The goal of bounties for S3 is to identify two to three meaningful projects that solve problems for the Analytics Guild or DAO overall each month and focus on incentivizing completion. We will focus on placing bounties in the reward range of 500-3000 BANK per bounty. We believe this bounty structure could provide more meaningful contributions and motivate non-active DAO members to contribute their time, skill, and effort. We also believe it will increase organic membership growth and will encourage those holding guest passes to contribute.

Any unused BANK at the end of the season will be rolled over into the next season or used at the discretion of the guild for remuneration or a Coordinape round.

In the case that certain roles do not receive sufficient applications, we will pay out for roles that do get applied for and pool unused fundsl into a Coordinape round to be distributed among active guild members

Total Budget

The total budget increased approximately 11% from season two. The number of roles increased from four roles to 6 and the total $BANK allocated towards bounties increased from 6% to 9% of the total budget. Roles from previous seasons have been optimized and hours have been reduced to increase funding for new roles.

  • 592,400 BANK - Season two budget
    • 4 roles
    • 40,000 BANK allocation for bounties
  • 660, 000 BANK - Season three budget.
    • 7 roles (open for applications) and many open “guest analyst” roles to further onboard new talent
    • 120,000 BANK allocation for bounties
