We’re excited to announce that we’ll be releasing new submission guidelines soon!

We’ve simplified the process to make it more user-friendly by introducing a submission form.

As part of this transition, we will no longer accept SIP submissions through the SIP email inbox. All submissions must go through the new form once it’s available.

Stay tuned for updates regarding the official release of the new guidelines.

Best regards,
The DAO Team

Yay! I’m excited to see this. How is the back and forth review accomplished between the author and the DAO team?

Hello @Geraldine :wave:, when will the new guidelines for submitting a proposal be shared?

Is there a specific format or document that outlines the elements that should be included in the proposal, such as the budget, value proposition, description, etc.?

Hello Everyone,

We’re excited to announce that the new Guidelines are now available on the DAO website.

These guidelines are designed to help identify which SIPs can bring value to the DAO at this time.

While submissions can be made directly through the form, you must first share and discuss your ideas with the community in the forum here: About the SIP Ideas category.

Have a great week!
The Sandbox DAO Team.

I posted my coverage of the new SIP guidelines. It ended up being a long episode to go over the new process. I cover the SIP guideline webpage, compare the old process to the new process, and I do a dry rehearsal of the new Typeform.

Here is the video, and beneath it are the highlights:

  1. the guide to promote a SIP
  • Looks really well made. Nicely done! It’s filled with lots of valuable tips.
  1. “Before starting the submission, ensure you have posted in “SIP Idea”, and the DAO team has invited you to submit your SIP.”
  • What must be met to receive an invitation?
  1. “The DAO team reviews it”
  • How long does this step last?
  • Do comments need to be resolved here or at step #4?
  1. “Review all comments & refine SIP”
  • How long does this step last?
  1. “SIP submissions have to fall under one of the following categories.”
  • Of the 9 budget categories on the Dashboard, 5 are listed in the new SIP Guidelines. Could you please clarify what will happen to the 8.1M $SAND budgets for the 4 categories not listed?
  • Will the SIPs already submitted be allowed to continue in the same process?
  1. “We guarantee 70% of the requested budget”
  • Could you please clarify what this means? I had a really hard time figuring out how to apply the math.
  • Recommendation: change “SIP Draft” to “SIP Active” instead of Draft to account for FX volatility of 30-day period of discussion + voting period. The 7d range via CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap can exceed financial commitment to no fault of the SIP author.
  1. “To manage excessive FX volatility, we cap our financial commitment at 110% of the requested budget in USD”
  • Recommendation: Change to 150% for Tier 1, 115% for Tier 2, 110% for Tier 3. 110% of 50K is 55K, which is a very small flexibility afforded FX volatility.
  1. “SIP that do not comply with international regulations and local laws.”
  • If a SIP author from France were to submit a proposal, which country regulations and laws apply to them? France? The Cayman Islands where the Sandbox DAO Foundation is incorporated? Elsewhere?
  1. Recommended changes I saw in the Typeform when going through it

Thank you for your detailed review and feedback, we are always looking to improve and get quality SIP submitted! Most of the response will be reflected in the Guidelines page to benefit everyone.

To receive “an invitation” from the DAO team / @theKuntaMC , the idea must be illigible as per the guidelines, and receive enough interest by the community.

The duration of the DAO team’s review varies based on the volume of proposals and author responsiveness. There’s no set timeframe, but authors are encouraged to remain active in addressing comments. SIPs submitted before these guidelines can proceed under the prior process.

The team will soon update the website with a scenario exemple to be more concrete. We took into account changing to SIP Active with a 14 days period. As for the band they will remain up to 110% for the moment.

For your last point, I will come back to you with a legal answer.

Have a good day!

Thank you for the response, Geraldine.

What is the amount of interest that must be received for it to receive an invitation?

SIPs submitted before these guidelines can proceed under the prior process.

Okay, thank you.

For your last point, I will come back to you with a legal answer.

Thank you!
