Description

**Proposal Summary** We propose the introduction of a submission fee for certain categories of proposals within the Decentraland DAO. This fee, set at $25 worth of MANA, will be directed to the DAO Treasury. The implementation of this fee will address key issues related to proposal submissions, enhance the value and seriousness of submitted ideas, and contribute to the DAO’s financial health. ___ - **Enhancing Proposal Quality:** By introducing a submission fee, we aim to filter out less serious or low-quality proposals. The cost will encourage community members to submit well-thought-out and valuable proposals, as they will be investing financially in their ideas. - **Supporting the DAO Treasury:** The fees collected will go directly to the DAO Treasury, providing additional funds for various DAO initiatives and projects, thereby strengthening the overall ecosystem. - **Reducing Trolls and Overload:** Implementing a fee will help reduce the number of spam or frivolous proposals, making the review process more efficient and focused on genuinely impactful ideas. ___ **Fee Structure and Categories** We propose the following structure for the submission fees: **Free Categories:** **Name Ban:** As name bans are typically related to preventing abuse or protecting the community, this category will remain free to ensure accessibility and responsiveness. **Hiring:** To facilitate the growth and development of the DAO, hiring proposals will be free, encouraging the recruitment of talent without financial barriers. **Removing Point of Interest**: Removing a point of interest should be free. **Paid Categories ($25 worth of MANA):** - Catalyst Node - Point of Interest - Linked Wearable Registry - Grant Request - Pitch - Special Case - Poll: **Initial Poll Submission:** Free. Polls & Drafts allow the community to gauge interest and gather initial feedback without financial constraints. **Polls and Final Poll Stages:** Once a poll passes the initial stage and reaches the Final stage, a $25 fee will be required to proceed. This fee ensures that only serious and well-supported proposals advance through the final stages. **Expected Outcomes** - **Improved Proposal Quality:** With a financial stake involved, proposers are likely to submit more thoughtful and impactful ideas. - **Increased Treasury Funds:** The DAO Treasury will benefit from an additional revenue stream, supporting more projects and initiatives. - **Efficient Proposal Management:** The review process will become more efficient, focusing on high-quality proposals and reducing the administrative burden. **(Treasury Allocation: All collected fees will be directly transferred to the DAO Treasury.)**
