Summary
As Spool V2 development is now heavily underway, it is important to ensure development and maintenance on v1 are not left short-staffed. This proposal is for a summarized monthly budget request and a one-time pay-off to stem the efforts.
Scope
This proposal is to ensure personnel will be dedicated to v1 Maintenance tasks in an on demand fashion from Solidant workforce (the appointed dev team for Spool DAO). This would involve pulling them from other paying clients’ work and prioritising Spool development.
Notes: This is for Maintenance. If features are requested, Maintenance would be reduced to make room for it as all devs are focussing all efforts on bringing v2 forward.
Monthly budget for these efforts: 35,000 DAI
Monthly Operational Budget
There are many third-party expenses that Spool is unable to pay directly as a DAO. Solidant offers to cover these expenses in fiat and invoice DAI from Spool DAO in return.
(These are at cost and are subject to change month to month on expansion, any large variation would need an additional vote )
