Lead a Save

Well well well! Welcome to the big leagues.

Looks like you’ve decided to step your Saving up a level!

As a Leader of a Save, you will bear the responsibility of seeing it through from start to finish - through the good, the bad and the ugly. As emphasized in our code of conduct we prioritize shipping at all costs. This often means you’ll need to go above and beyond to make sure all gaps are filled.

Where leading certain Saves may not have hard coded economic benefits, you do stand to earn a DAO Badge for successfully completing your first Save. To Lead a Save, please do the following:

  1. Ensure the Save is logged in Airtable as Saveing.
  2. Find a Cleric (Account Manager) and a Monk (Project Manager) responsible for interfacing with the client. If you wish to perform these aspects yourself, please self-assign yourself the role.
  3. Signal that you will be leading a Save either during Round Table or by posting in Guild HQ #general.
  4. Establish a Scope of Work for the Save. This task is generally handled by Clerics or Monks, but in the case this is you, please ensure a timeline, scope and budget is properly laid out to ensure expectations are aligned. An outline of a Scope of Work can be found here.
  5. Create a Save Party using Guild HQ #who-is-available and tagging the relevant roles like Archer (Design) or Paladin (Back-end)
  6. If a Client Chat has not been started, please start one using the project name so others can easily identify the Save. (i.e. #aave)
  7. Start a #Save channel and ensure access is restricted only to Save Guild Members and Apprentices. Please reference the permissions of other Save Channels for guidance
  8. While not mandatory, we strongly recommend setting up a Gnosis Safe Multisig Wallet for your Save Party to accept client payment. This ensures that funding can be allocated and distributed with consensus from all participants.
  9. We also recommend using the Save Guid Escrow service to facilitate payments from the client.

For those looking for guidance on how to structure a Save bounty, here’s what we suggest:

  • 10% War Chest Treasury — mandatory
  • 5% Hunter (Biz Dev)
  • 10% Cleric (Account Manager)
  • 15% Monk (Project Manager)
  • 60% Project (Wizard, Paladin, Archer, etc.)

This is meant to be a framework and as such, different Save breakdowns may vary. All that we ask is that a minimum of 10% of Save work is tributed back to the War Chest upon completion.
