Rethinking the DAO Contributor Funnel

重新思考DAO贡献者漏斗

Not everyone who joins your Discord server is a member of your DAO, and neither should they be. Different levels of community engagement have different privileges and expectations, and to conflate them is a disservice to your community. Some people want to participate casually, while others are seeking full-time employment. Some join for leisure, while others aim to untie the Gordian knot of decentralized governance.

并非每一位加入你的Discord服务器的人都是你的DAO成员,并且他们也不应如此。不同级别的社区参与度对应着不同的权限和期望,混淆这些对于社区是有害的。有些人想随便参加一下,然而另一些人则寻求全职的工作。有些人加入为了休闲娱乐,而另一些人则寻求解开戈耳迪之结 —— 去中心化治理。

Other issues arise from misaligned financial incentives. Members with a $500 investment are inclined to think differently than members with a $5,000 or $15,000 investment. Responsibilities differ as well. Asking someone to take notes in a meeting differs from managing a $25k project. In the latter scenario, the community assumes risks in opportunity costs, even if the funds are safe in a multisig. Consider the following questions when thinking about the organization of a DAO:

  1. Does it segment groups with defined availability, responsibility, and expectation levels?
  2. Does it leverage tools and access rights that correspond to those segmentation levels?
  3. Does the financial upside of each segment match the expected levels of commitment and responsibility?

其他问题,由于不协调的财务激励,亦随之而来。投资500美元的成员,和投资5000或15000美元的成员,有着不一样的想法。责任也不同。要求某人做会议记录和管理一个25000美元的项目是不一样的。在后一种情况中,社区承担着机会成本的风险,即使在多重签名下资金是安全的。所以,在思考组织一个DAO时,请考虑一下这些问题:

  1. 有没有依据定义好的可用性、责任和期望的级别来进行分组?
  2. 是否通过与分组级别相对应的方式来运用工具和权限?
  3. 每个分组的财务优势是否与预期的该级别的承诺和责任相之匹配?

If the answer to any of these questions is no, a community will inevitably suffer from frustrations, confusion, resentment, and talent bleed. The experience and goals of everyone, including the DAO itself, are undermined with everyone lumped in the same undifferentiated basket.

如果对于以上问起的回答是否定的,那么这个社区将会不可避免的遇到挫折、困惑、痛恨和人才流失。如果把所有人都放进同一个不加区分的篮子里,那么大家的经验和目标,包括DAO本身,会被削弱。
