SUMMARY

The core mission of the DAOLationships Guild is to facilitate and coordinate relationships between external organizations and BanklessDAO. When other guilds in the bDAO need support from external organizations, they come to DAOLationships to help understand and navigate the personal connections we have. When other orgs want to establish a connection with bDAO, the DAOLationships Guild helps to coordinate those efforts for maximum mutual benefit.

Season 3

We clarified our Guild’s mission to include generating both cross-DAO relationships and generating revenue for BanklessDAO. We refined the process of DAO-to-DAO relationship building through discovery calls and AMAs that culminated in value-added information sessions that we host within BanklessDAO Discord. We increased the number of active guild members in the face of an overall decline in BanklessDAO activity.

Season 4

Our goal in Season 4 was to facilitate relationships between BanklessDAO and other leading Web3 organizations by utilizing our old-school CRM and good-old-fashioned institutional knowledge. When other guilds in the bDAO or organizations in the DAOsphere need support they come to DAOLationships to help understand and navigate the personal connections we have. AMAs, Demos, IRL Events, and cross-pollination meetings are just some of our collaborative activities.

AMAs and Demos

The AMA work stream has transformed from a single person initiative to a multi-collaborator effort. This year, we have brought in over 2,000$ in USDC to the DAO. Here is a quick list of the DAOlationship events over the year.

Demos

  • bip.so, kudos, and Wonderverse, charmverse

AMAs

  • S3 - ETH Guardians, Beanstalk,
  • S4 - Kresko Finance, Moon DAO, Nation 3

Looking to the Future

Season 5

In Season 3 & 4 we brought in over $2,000 USD of revenue to the DAO. Our purpose is to always be developing talent, but this season we will be doubling down on Talent and Revenue!

  • Develop Governance and Guild Coordination Mentorship Programs

Why do we have the budget for Daolationship for different period then the bdao? Why is this not allingined with the rest of the DAO?
I think this only create confusion.

the Ops Guild (there is no DAO schedule) had a 3 week gap because they got behind. Ops guild produces Season Specs. Our Specs were set in season 3, which defines each season as 13 weeks. we were just not behind schedule we didn’t need a Gap Week. They are mostly behind again as are other guilds. Even based on their own schedules.

Hey @ernest_of_gaia, this is a great proposal!

Although there is a DAO schedule and S5 starts August 1st.
OPS did get behind, although the time to dispute, or reorient around that has passed.

If you need additional funding, the Grants Committee has funding available for that.

We are good and on schedule thanks. Yes there is a DAO schedule for the Public Passing of the season. and the Season Specs do determine when the DAO coordinape is, the Season Specs do not set the schedules for the Guilds so while there are DAO things that are scheduled, what i mean by there is no DAO schedule is there is no schedule that dictates when the Guilds or Projects do things.
