• [x] Scrap current leveling system and the permissions it conveys in Discord

A ‘permissioned shell’ was suggested in the original outline. This means membership requirements.

https://forum.bankless.community/t/outline-for-proposed-dao-reorg-working-edition-4th-edition-5-31-24/10650

The https://snapshot.org/#/tlbank.banklessvault.eth/proposal/0xda13ec7fcc3618304629232d976111f35c5daf812fba9ab6a552cc8da8bf58ca vote supported a two-level membership system.

1. Full Membership
   • Requires a soulbound token
     • If we have soulbound governance tokens, these would have to be earned or gifted
     • NFT token or ERC-20 token?
     • The soulbind could work like the tlBANK NFT, where it can be transferred once
     • Expires?
     • Non-monetary, no economic value
   • Requires some kind of Proof-of-Humanity validation
     • We should not be too doxxy
     • Any suggestions? GitHub? BrightID? WorldCoin? Phone number 2FA?
   • Social consensus of current Stewards
   • Need to have X amt of Contributor Token staked to maintain Full Membership
     • We’ll need to develop staking a staking mechanism for the contributor token
       • And also what advantage does staking it provide?
     • Maintain a minimum token holding
   • Stake to nominate new Full Members who hold X number of Contributor Token++ Requires three (3) Full Members to take for Full Membership++ Released after X epochs
2. Contributor Membership
   • Requires staking of one (1) Full Member
   • Requires X amt of Contributor Token
   • Requires Membership Working Group approval
3. Rage quit function w/ auto treasury triggers for Full Members
4. Links’ idea about PoolTogether-type Treasury (buy membership, earn yield on amt contributed)

<aside> 🤔

what if membership was checked and auto-updated regularly? e.g. soulbound seasonal/annual membership nfts/badges that can be blockchain referenced by something like collab.land.

</aside>

Be gifted a time-limited guest pass or invite?

Maintain a smaller token holding requirement for the basic level membership?

Hold a different particular NFT?

Onboarding

How do we admit new members?

When do we admit new members?

What kind of people do we want to become members?

Do we use some kind of staking/referral system?

Users nominate new members

Users stake tokens to vouch for the new member

If the new member is determined by the community to be a bad actor, the stake gets slashed and claimed by the org’s treasury. If the new member joins as a full member, perhaps the referrer could also be incentivized with a reward. Gotta be careful not to incentivize onboarding for onboarding again.

Some stewards or some kind of human layer would vote whether to admit the nomination

Acts as a check and balance on unrestrained promotions like we saw with the L2 system
