Grape is committed to continue leading the development of Solana DAO tooling as well as DAO thought leadership.

As part of this ongoing effort, we have started pushing an ambitious Grape Bounty Program where any Grape Member can submit bounty ideas related to tooling, DAOs, and our community and get rewarded.

Title: What is decentralization in DAOs and how do you measure it?

Provide arguments and/or metrics on how one can measure the degree of decentralization in Solana DAOs.

Analyze DAOs using projects on Realms.today and statistics/metrics on DeepDAO.io.

These sites will help you support your thesis and produce an article that analyzes and looks to measure decentralization in a DAO.

Suggested Guidance Questions

• What are the types of DAOs analyzed? (I.e. Investment & Community)
• What kind of resources are managed in these DAOs?
• Are there defined groups of people within these DAOs and how are resources managed in a decentralized way?
• What are the factors or variables that contribute to “DAOiness”?
• How can we measure decentralization for a DAO?
• How does the DAO work or operate? I.e. People, Products, or Processes?
• Are there any other DAOs or projects that are similar? Do you see similarities or common themes/practices among particular DAOs, if yes what are they?
• If the DAO has a community, are the community users rewarded? If yes, How?
• How decentralized are the processes that resources are used in terms of compensation for contributors’ work?
• What is the nature of the NFT/tokens and how are they distributed?
• If you clearly answer the above questions in your bounty article, it will likely do well.

Summary

GRAPE is a Decentralized Social Network that introduced the first open-source verification service, the first decentralized NFT DeX, and provides a suite of DAO tools and products to the Solana ecosystem.

In this GRAPE Bounty, completers are rewarded $GRAPE tokens for writing original, non-plagiarized, articles about decentralization in Solana Realms DAOs and other DAOs for supporting examples. Hunters may use research information from DeepDAO.io and Realms.

GRAPE has deposited 100% of the funds for Creation & Completion in advance. This bounty campaign is fully pre-funded.
