Sailor’s Stage - practical thoughts and actions from the frontlines.
DXdao’s Ross Neilson (https://twitter.com/RossNeilson_dev) brings an important reminder: Proposals are code and should execute something - this is what makes DAOs special, right? Right? Let us not forget and check what DXdao is building.
A
A
Hopefully,
you
can
hear
me
relatively
well:
I,
don't
think
the
audio
situation
is
great
here.
So
if
I'm,
not
speaking
loud
enough,
tell
me
because
I
might
not
notice
so
yeah
I'm
Ross
from
DX
Style
I'm,
the
lead
of
DX
gov,
so
we're
building
out
governance
products
for
date,
style
as
well
as
the
rest
of
the
space
yeah.
A
A
Just
a
brief
explanation
for
anyone
not
too
familiar
with
autonomy,
the
easiest
analogy
is
like
nation
states,
autonomy,
sovereignty,
it's
not
about
automation,
common
misconception,
and
if
you,
if
you
want
to
know
more
about
autonomy
and
sovereignty,
Chris
Powers
from
DX
style
did
a
great
talk.
Last
Taoist
sure.
If
you
go
search-
and
you
can
find
that
but
yeah
we're
talking
about
autonomy
today.
So
how
can
we
use
autonomy
in
Dallas?
So
in
DXL
we
have
two
main
sort
of
proposals.
A
We
have
signal
proposals
just
just
text;
they
don't
really
do
any
anything.
You
rely
on
contributors
to
implement
the
text
or
go
and
actually
implement
it.
It's
not
really
what
those
are
about.
What
we're
talking
about
today
is
proposals
with
actions.
That
is
how
we
utilize
autonomy.
So
we
exercise
autonomy
in
Dallas.
Proposals
are
code.
This
is
what
makes
those
special
if
we
didn't
have
that
it
would
kind
of
just
be
a
bunch
of
people
saying
things
and
maybe
doing
them,
proposals
there
are
codes
and
actually
execute.
Something
is
how
Dao's
operate
on
chain.
A
Without
it
there's
not
a
lot
we
can
do
so.
What
can
we
use
it
for
currently,
the
main
way
Dows
use
their
autonomy
is
kind
of
similar
to
how
crypto,
like
initially
got
started
a
lot
of
it's
just
transferring
money
around
it's
kind
of
like
how
have
you
explain
to
your
parents,
what
you're
doing
with
crypto
you're,
like
oh
yeah,
like
money,
moves
between
countries
without
banks,
and
everyone
here
is
probably
pretty
aware.
A
That's
really
just
the
tip
of
the
iceberg
in
terms
of
web
3
and
everything
we're
doing,
and
it's
the
same
with
those
right
now,
a
lot
of
what
those
use
their
autonomy
for
is
just
like
moving
funds
around
giving
this
person
some
money
to
go
off
and
do
something
or
investing
in
something
or
paying
contributors,
but
as
with
explaining
cryptocurrency,
it's
really
just
the
tip
of
the
iceberg.
There's
a
lot
we
can
do
so.
A
What
do
we
do
if
we're
doing
more
than
just
transferring
erc20
tokens?
There's
a
lot
of
things
here.
The
most
obvious
one
is
probably
like
protocol
management,
so
maker
was
just
up
before
me.
They
do
a
great
job
of
utilizing
their
autonomy
to
manage
their
protocol
and
there's
a
lot
of
examples
of
that.
A
The
next
one
is
a
DX
style,
favorite
unconquerable
products.
This
is
how
we
use
ens
plus
ipfs
to
own
our
front
ends.
The
Dow
owns
the
reference
to
the
front
ends
and
how
our
users
are
accessing
our
front
ends.
If
you
want
to
know
more
on
this
Sky's
doing
a
talk
later
today,
I
think
it's
on
the
main
stage
towards
the
end
of
the
day
and
we're
always
happy
to
show
how
we
manage
our
products
and
do
releases.
A
A
So
we
talked
about
moving
money
around,
but
you
know
you
can
move
money
around,
but
there's
a
difference
between
doing
that
and
investing
your
treasury
or
diversifying
your
treasury.
So
a
cool
example
of
how
you
take
Styles
dipping
our
toes
into
this
is
with
cow
swap.
So,
just
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
we
set
our
first
limit
order,
which,
for
a
dial
that
moves
slowly
and
is
very
public
limit.
A
Orders
are
important,
not
getting
front
run,
is
kind
of
essential,
so
that's
pretty
awesome
and
a
nice
use
of
autonomy
and
some
of
our
nearest
applications
like
projectavi,
which
is
our
governance,
application
we're
playing
around
with
actually
having
the
Dow
controlled
parts
of
the
front
end
as
well
in
a
similar
way
to
unconquerable
products,
but
yeah
I
won't
dive
too
deep
into
that.
There's
the
list
really
goes
on,
you
could
do
nft
minting.
You
could
do
investing
in
contracts
for
contributors.
A
I
think
the
the
best
way
of
thinking
about
how
you
can
utilize
autonomy
is.
The
adao
is
essentially
the
same
as
a
user.
Anything
you
can
think
about
doing
in
web3.
Your
Dow
should
be
able
to
do
as
well.
If
it's
on
chain,
then
there's
no
reason
you
shouldn't
be
able
to
do
it.
One
of
my
personal
favorites
that
we're
trying
to
build
out
in
our
application
is
voting
and
other
dials
as
a
Dao.
A
But
if
you
can
incentivize
a
more
senior
Dao
and
experience
Dao
to
start
helping
these
smaller
Dows
move
in
a
direction
or
helping
them
with
governance,
that's
a
pretty
powerful
Tool
and
you
can
do
it
with
autonomy.
If
you're
doing
on-chain
voting,
then
there's
no
reason.
You
can't
vote
in
another
Dao
even
create
proposals
for
another
dial
as
a
Dao.
So
there's
ux
challenges
there,
but
it's
something
we're
working
on.
A
A
A
Essentially
there's
there's
a
bit
of
a
ux
problem.
It's
not
so
much
a
technical
problem
actually
doing
solidity.call
is
not
complicated.
The
difficult
part
is
having
a
user
interface
that
can
like
support
that
and
be
secure
at
the
same
time.
So
this
is
a
bit
of
a
skill
with
poor,
ux
and
great
ux
on
one
side,
then
full
autonomy
and
little
autonomy
on
the
other
axis.
So
here
we
see
that
was
with
flexible
but
complex
systems.
A
So
I
don't
know
how
many
of
you
have
experienced
making
proposals,
but
if
you're
trying
to
do
something
complex,
it's
pretty
complex
to
do
you
kind
of
need
to
put
in
apis
or
like
select
solidity
functions
by
using
the
function,
signatures
and
understand
what
the
code
is
doing
on
like
a
very
deep
level
before
you're
doing
any
of
this
stuff
with
a
Dao
which
isn't
great,
it
creates
a
very
high
barrier
to
of
Entry
to
dials
and
then
the
other
side.
We
have
those
with
great
ux
amazing
ux.
A
It
doesn't
even
need
to
be
improved
right
now,
but
you're
pretty
Limited
in
what
you
can
do
for
the
most
part.
It's
like
sending
your
C20
tokens
back
to
our
initial
analogy
of
like
what
is
autonomy
currently
used
for?
That's
why
it's
because
it's
easy
to
do
and
that
you
act
and
ux
at
least,
and
some
platforms
have
both
of
these
but
very
few.
A
If
any
have
well,
we've
started
calling
accessible
autonomy
that
is
not
just
having
of
ux
for
a
few
actions,
but
having
amazing
ux
for
everything
and
having
it
be
flexible.
So
there's
a
few
parts
of
accessible
autonomy,
but
essentially
the
idea
is
that
anyone
should
be
able
to
use
your
Dow.
Anyone
should
be
able
to
run
it
out.
Anyone
should
be
able
to
govern
in
your
Dao
and
fully
understand,
what's
happening
with
on-chain
proposals.
A
Yeah
as
I
said,
ux
challenge.
There's
a
couple
of
parts
of
that
there's
creating
proposals.
You
need
to
be
able
to
input
things
in
a
normal
way.
Like
you
know,
the
UI
should
be
asking
you
for
the
details
that
it
wants
in
a
human
readable
way
you
shouldn't
be,
like
writing.
Hundreds
zeros
on
the
end
of
a
thing
or
writing,
Unix
timestamps
Etc
and
then
on
the
other
side,
The
Proposal
still
has
to
remain
accessible
after
you've
created
it.
A
The
people
voting
in
the
proposal
should
also
be
able
to
understand
your
proposal,
even
if
they
don't
have
technical
backgrounds,
so
this
is
just
to
visualize
a
little
bit.
How
those
currently
look.
This
is
the
very
least
how
DX
now,
for
the
most
part,
looks
we
have
users
which
we
rely
upon
for
governance.
These
are
people
that
do
most
of
the
governance
decisions,
most
of
the
voting
and
most
of
the
auditing
of
proposals,
they're
technical
contributors,
they're
developers
as
I'm
sure.
A
And
so
you
see
some
nice
inputs
in
here.
We
have
the
start
date.
It
was
on
the
5th
of
October.
We
have
how
long
before
Cliff
it's
just
a
year
two
years.
The
number
of
tokens
is
just
readable,
it's
very
nice
and
yeah.
It's
anyone
could
really
fill
this
in
if
they
understood
that
they
want
to
vest
some
tokens
and
that's
what
the
that's,
what
the
requirements
should
be,
and
so,
if
we
add
this
action,
we
see
that
it's
in
their
action.
Builder
awesome.
A
We
still
see
all
these
details,
they're
still
human
readable,
and
so
we
create
the
proposal.
And
so
then,
for
example,
we
have
another
user
comes
along
and
they're
looking
at
our
voting
interface
and
they
say:
oh
there's,
a
new
proposal,
I
wonder
what
it's
doing
and
they
see
right
immediately
we're
having
two
DxD
creating
a
vesting
contract.
It's
pretty
pretty
clear!
A
So
obviously,
that's
not
all
the
information
you
would
want
to
check
more
before
you
voted
on
something,
especially
if
it's
dealing
with
funds,
and
so
you
can
still
see
that
I'll
move
out
the
way
a
bit,
but
you
can
see
a
bit
more
details
here.
We
still
have
that
human
readable
explanation
of
what
this
proposal
is
doing
you.
Don't
always
you
can't
always
rely
on
a
nice
description.
I
couldn't
be
bothered
without
any
description
here.
A
It
just
says
accessible
autonomy
at
work,
but
we
can
still
see
what's
actually
happening,
and
so,
if
you
want
to
audit
it
some
more,
you
can
jump
another
level
deeper.
We
can
see
if
we
press
the
drop
down.
We
have
all
of
these
inputs
that
we
had
before
we
have
a
date.
We
have
a
year
and
there's
still
human
readable,
and
this
is
everything
that's
getting
sent
to
the
contract.
A
Now
you
may
have
noticed
there's
another
part
in
here
as
I
hope.
A
few
of
you
would
know
generally
before
you're
doing
transactions
or
calling
contracts.
You
need
to
do
an
approval.
If
you
don't
know,
essentially,
when
you
go
to
uniswap
like
you
have
to
approve
tokens
before
you
swap
them
right.
Those
are
the
same.
We
have
to
play
by
those
rules.
It's
still
it's
still
ethereum,
but
we
don't
want
users
to
to
know
that
they
have
to
approve
a
token
before
they're
calling
contracts.
A
We
certainly
don't
want
to
be
approving
infinite
infinite
tokens
for
the
Dao.
That's
a
big
scary
No-No.
So
we
do
automatically
for
people
it's
kind
of
Hidden
Away
in
here.
But
if
you
look
at
it,
we
can
still
see
we're
approving
a
spending
call
and
then
we're
creating
a
vesting
contract.
So
yeah,
the
cool
part
about
this
is
how
it's
built.
A
We
could
very
easily
make
a
demo
of
this
and
just
hard
code
all
this
stuff,
but
this
is
flexible.
We
can
adapt
this
system
to
just
about
any
contract
in
ethereum.
There's
some
asterisks
he's
there.
We're
just
on
V1
and
I,
already
have
plans
for
veto
to
make
this
better,
but
that's
the
whole
idea
and
then,
if
you
want
to
go
further,
this
might
look
a
bit
more
familiar
to
people
that
have
tried
to
do
governance
and
other
platforms
before.
A
A
Imagine
if
we
look
back
at
that
graph,
where
we
had
this
big
group
of
people
excluded
from
governance
and
the
small
group
of
people
doing
governance
and
understanding
it.
What
happens
when
you
remove
that
blockade?
And
you
have
a
large
group
of
diverse
individuals
deciding
what
an
organization
does
is
decentralization?
It's
autonomy,
it's
a
decentralized
autonomous
organization
which
is
pretty
awesome,
so
yeah,
decentralization
and
autonomy
are
very
closely
linked
together.
One
helps
the
other.
A
The
other
helps
the
other
one,
so
yeah
everything
you've
seen
here,
we've
been
trying
to
build
out
in
our
new
governance
project
called
project
Davi
we're
attempting
to
launch
an
open
beta
for
Devcon
Bogota.
We
also
ran
a
hackathon
over
the
weekend
and
that
took
a
lot
of
time,
but
we
should
be
on
track
for
launching
and
Devcon
potentially
even
today,
depending
on
how
late
we
stay
up,
but
you
can
also
access
the
landing
page
right
now,
as
I
mentioned
before
we
use
unconquerable
products.
A
A
If
you
want
to
get
in
touch
with
me,
to
ask
me
any
questions
about
the
talk
or
just
in
general
about
Jake's
doubt
you
can
scan
this
lovely
QR
code
here
made
by
our
friends
at
nimi,
DX,
Dao,
I,
guess
funded
project,
as
maybe
the
best
way
of
of
seeing
it.
It
came
out
of
a
hackathon
and
is
very
awesome.
A
Go
make
your
nimi
page
and
you
can
access
all
of
my
contact
details
through
there,
as
well
as
seeing
my
ens,
Etc
and
DXL
I'm
kind
of
blocking
digital
right
now,
but
big
style.
We
have
a
DX
style
home
page
where
you
can
see
everything
that
we're
doing
all
the
cool
stuff
we
get
up
to
and,
of
course,
Twitter
dig
style
underscore
go.
Follow
us
I!
Think
that's
everything!
Any
questions.
