Name

FlatPyramid DAO

About

FlatPyramid is an existing 3D Model NFT Marketplace that is decentralizing itself by turning over the operation and ownership of its marketplace to its 3D artist community with the creation of the FlatPyramid DAO.

FlatPyramid 3D Model NFT Marketplace (FlatPyramid.com) has integrated NFT technology and cryptocurrency payments into its platform. It offers an extensive 3D model library created by its 3d artists with thousands of stock 3d model assets. These 3d models are used by 3d artists in a number of industries including Gaming, Metaverse, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Film and Special Effects, and other Interactive Media.

Mandates

  1. Empower 3D Artists to set the direction of FlatPyramid by owning and voting on the marketplace’s platform overall direction and roadmap to benefit the 3d artist community.

  2. Increase Revenue for 3D Artists from their royalties with new and favorable revenue models and opportunities, partnerships, and platform ownership.

  3. Promote Participation, Collaboration & Advancement of 3D artists by rewarding referrals, moderation and high quality professional feedback among 3d artists on the marketplace platform.

Deliverables

Next 3 months

  1. Promotion of FlatPyramid DAO to 3D Artists
  • Content creation and campaign setup to promote FlatPyramid DAO to 3D artists
  • Promote FlatPyramid DAO on social media and alternate channels for 3D artists
  1. Launch of the new revenue model for 3D artists to earn higher royalties from selling their 3d models and NFTs on FlatPyramid.
  • Platform updates to support the new revenue model which allows 3D artists to earn more from the sale of their 3d model NFTs, thus incentivizing more 3D artists to join the DAO and offer their 3d model NFTs for sale. This is the DAO’s own path to self-sustainability.
  • Promotion of 3D artists participating in the new revenue model on social media platforms and alternate channels.
  1. Referral of 3D artists to join the FlatPyramid DAO by other 3D artists. 3D artists get rewarded for referrals, providing professional feedback to other 3d artists, voting and for moderation.
  • Reach-out to 3D artists to refer other professional 3D artists to the DAO.
  • Distribution of rewards to 3D artists for referrals.

  1. 100 3D artists join the DAO
  2. 100 3D artists opt in to participate in the new revenue model.
  3. 200 3D artists sign up from referrals by other 3D artists.

Not enough metrics in place when u ask for 250k.
What stops you from just onboarding ppl and paying them to join so u can get the funding.

This seems as you quote a pyramid scheme.

STRAIGHT UP NO FROM ME

Hello, @eav! Thank you for bringing this innovation to Harmony :blue_heart:

I would like to encourage you to visit our DAO Funding Guidelines page and review how we evaluate and fund DAOs.

We break our DAO funding into - at minimum - three “tranches”; Bootstrap, Operational, Expansion. You can read more about it in the guidelines.

The Bootstrap grant is initially $50K. Please note that we are currently revising the Harmony DAO Bootstrap program. We believe that a “Minimally Viable DAO” is one that has accomplished, at least, the following three items:

  1. Established a multisig wall with a 5 out of 9 signature requirement. $15K
  2. Held an election for those 9 signatories that includes at least 12 candidates and over 100 voters. $15K
  3. Has issued an “Membership Token” of some sort (a DAO NFT, for example) $20K

When preparing your revised submission, please take these guidelines into account.

Thank you for your time and interest! Looking forward to hearing from you :soon:

Following up with this @eav, the FlatPyramid DAO proposal is still missing a few key elements to be considered for approval.

Note, that a DAO proposal that meets all criteria does not guarantee a proposal for approval or funding. A small caveat :blue_heart:

Due to the lack of activity on this thread I’m going to deny this proposal without prejudice and close this thread.

@eav Please feel free to post a new proposal following the DAO Funding Guidelines at your convenience.

Thank you for your time and interest.
