Following an in-depth review of the current situation, specifically the significant divergence between community expectations and the proposal team’s objectives, the team has elected to cease development of the DAO v1.1 platform. Furthermore, all acquired funding will be reimbursed to the CKB Community Fund DAO.
Upon this official notification, the following actions will be initiated:
Provision of all existing source code to the community as an open-source resource. While the GitHub organization remains under the proposal team’s control, they will coordinate comprehensive arrangements should community members express interest in assuming stewardship of the project.
Deactivation of the DAO v1.1 platform’s domain name.
Termination of server hosting and associated services for the platform.
Cessation of code maintenance by the proposal team.
Return of Milestone 1 funds to the CKB Foundation.
Dissolution of the project’s steward team.
The proposal team extends its heartfelt gratitude to the community members who championed this project and those who offered constructive criticism necessary for its evolution. We also wish to recognize the dedicated efforts of the steward team and the independent community testing group.
With the code now accessible to the public, the community is empowered to develop and iterate upon their own visions for an optimized DAO governance platform.
When you say the DAO 2.0 was too large a step what do you mean by that statement?
The DAO 2.0 was never part of the community DAO.
It was a different version and separate to the current DAO and it would run along side of it as a different version in my understanding? A western designed version that people could jump on board too, to see how it could run parallel within the community?
It’s supposed to be an alternative for the community to use. CKB should have more than one DAO, and it will be separately funded (Or so I was told by Jan, Whether this has been changed is another story, but would be news to me), and built not only as a contender, but for decentralisation purposes.
Edit: I’m editing/removing this post of mine due to it being disrespectful to certain people while written with a bit of anger and disappointment with the situation.
as a powerful and influential person who worked in the interest of compromise and ended up causing more harm than good in this process, I understand your sentiments but respectfully disagree with your conclusion.
The frustration is merited though, there was a great deal of time spent here. We gain the lessons learned in how each of us could do better in this paradigm, a LOT of brainstroming about the design space for voting and an open source code base that in the end, mostly accounted for critical questions raised.
I do however believe this was always destined to be a learning experience, rather than a concrete step forward. Unfortunately.
Hey Matt, I’m not going to back down from my overall view here, but yeah, I’ll go back on that statement about standing by and doing nothing, there’s probably way too much emotion there.
But whether you guys want this job or not, you, Jan and Terry are the people here that had the ability to meditate a solution to this situation and it didn’t happen, so I’ll stand by the failure part.
But I’ve ‘known’ you for a fair while now and I know of all people you have nothing but the best intentions for CKB, so I definitely don’t think you weren’t trying.
In consideration of Terry’s advice, the following updates are provided regarding the closure of DAO v1.1:
Payment: The proposal team will retain the payment corresponding to the already‑delivered Milestone 1.
Code: The code will remain open source and is accessible at this repository. A total of eight repositories encompass all code for the DAO v1.1 platform (excluding Web5 services, which are available here). Additionally, the community may access the open‑source vote auditor tool here.
Contract: The voting contract deployed on the mainnet has been terminated, whereas the testnet voting contract continues to operate. The did:ckb contracts remain active on both the mainnet and the testnet.
Server: Servers supporting the current DAO v1.1 platform will be decommissioned shortly. Following this action, services for both the mainnet and the testnet will be terminated.
Domain name: Domain resolution for ccfdao.dev and ccfdao.org will be terminated in the near future. Consequently, the documentation website at https://docs.ccfdao.org/ will also be shut down. However, relevant documentation can be found within the source code repository accessible here.
This marks the official conclusion of the DAO v1.1 project. The proposal team wishes to once again express its gratitude to all those who provided constructive feedback and support. May the community identify a suitable governance model at a future date. Thank you
