Project Overview

Problem

Currently, Bankless DAO bounties are not in a centralized location causing confusion and makes it challenging for members, new and old, to contribute. Also Level 0's do not have intuitive ways to get involved and earn $BANK other than buying in the secondary markets.

Solution

For the DAO to grow, we need a way to attract, retain and coordinate talent. The bounty board, accessible to members and non-members will connect the DAO to a continually expanding talent pool.

In addition, we need a way to codify meaningful units of work. Given the diversity of jobs to be done in a DAO, the bounty board allows bounty creators to define and specify the scope of tasks along with expected deliverables.

Finally, we need a way to formalize the flow of capital, beyond an informal, organic tipping culture that exists to formally recognize contributors for their knowledge, skills and abilities.

The bounty board will be a key mechanism for coordinating talent, tasks and capital.

Minimal Viable Product 1.0

Bounty Card Definition

For the MVP, we are focusing on the bare requirements for a Bounty Card to be created by a user via DEGEN and/or Frontend UI, with the following key fields:

• Title: Bounty Titles should be like headlines
• Description: Provides space to flesh out the scope, deliverables and timeline for the bounty.
• Criteria: When is a task considered "done" or "complete"?
• Reward: Bounty creator indicates amount (i.e., 10000) and currency (i.e., $BANK) to be paid for completing the work.
• HashId: Auto-generated ID for each bounty.
• CreatedBy / RequestedBy: Bot automatically enters bounty creator's discordHandle.
• ClaimedBy: Bot automatially notes discordHandle claiming the bounty.
• SubmittedBy: Bot automatically notes discordHandle submitting the bounty.

User Experience Discord: Creating a Bounty with DEGEN

The follow description is of Serendipity in the Bankless Bot Garage, but is intended to mirror how DEGEN works in production.

1. Create: Bounty creator creates new bounty with /bounty create, inputing title and reward. DEGEN will dm you to input a description, requirements for completion and a due date (yyyy-mm-dd). DEGEN takes your input and returns a card with three options: 👍 publish, 📝 edit or ❌ delete

2. Create Multiple Bounties: Bounty creator creates new bounty with /bounty create, inputing title and reward. Then, hit tab to see an optional copies feature to create multiple bounties at once.

3. Edit: Select 📝 to edit. DEGEN provides a link to the frontend to edit any field. DEGEN then re-shows a newly edited card (and automatically publishes to #🧀-bounty-board channel)

4. Publish/Open: Bounty creator clicks thumbs up emoji 👍 or /bounty publish in Discord, bounty published to #🧀-bounty-board channel and website (url provided); status is now Open on website.

5. Claim/In Progress: Within #🧀-bounty-board Bounty claimer click black flag 🏴 or /bounty claim, entering the HashID to 'start', card changes color in Discord, Bounty creator receives message that bounty has been claimed; Bounty card on website now has Claimed By; card status is now "In Progress".

6. Submit/In Review: Bounty claimer hits red mail box emoji 📮 in Discord, receives auto-generated message from DEGEN notifying the bounty is ready for review. They should reach out to the person who submitted the bounty. Alternatively, user can submit directly through a new bot command /bounty submit, entering HashId; card status is now "In Review".

7. Complete/Completed: Bounty claimer can signal completion ✅ on the post in the #🧀-bounty-board channel or directly through a new bot command /bounty complete true; card status is now "Completed".

Degen Commands

1. NOTE: DEGEN is available for use on any channel within the Bankless DAO discord (08/31/2021)
2. Enter / and see a list of commands pop up.

The following commands (and input fields) are available for DEGEN:

/bounty claim (bounty-id) /bounty complete (bounty-id) /bounty create (title)(reward) /bounty publish (bounty-id) /bounty list (list-type) /bounty delete (bounty-id) /bounty submit (bounty-id) /help bounty

Refer to the Bounty Board Commands and Workflow Notion Page for in-depth details.

User Experience Frontend: Claiming a Bounty

Note: Currently, the frontend mirrors the interaction with DEGEN in discord and displays changes in card status. Frontend interactions are suited for those wishing to claim bounties.

1. Claim: Click on any card that says Open. To claim, click the Claim it button. You will be re-directed to #🧀-bounty-board channel. Within #🧀-bounty-board Bounty click black flag 🏴 emoji. DEGEN present a link back to the frontend and a prompt to reach out to the Bounty Creator.

2. Frontend Status: In Progress: A link back to the frontend shows card status as "In Progress" and "Claimed By" claimer's discord handle.

3. Discord/Bot: Submit: Bounty claimer hits red mail box emoji 📮 in Discord to submit, receives auto-generated message from DEGEN indicating "bounty in review" and a link back to the frontend where status is now "In Review".

4. Discord/Bot: Complete: Bounty claimer can signal completion ✅ on the post in the #🧀-bounty-board channel. Bounty creator receives message to tip bounty completer.

5. Frontend Status: Completed: Back at the frontend, the bounty card status is now "Completed".
