DAO Contributor Program

Development of Safe DAO Contribution Efficiency System

Overview

Safe DAO proposed the Outcomes-Based Resource Allocation framework, or ‘OBRA’, which structured the use of resources to ensure the most efficient and useful utilization of SafeDAO’s assets. To support Safe DAO’s key contributor initiatives, namely OBRA, the Contribution Efficiency System (CES) enables Safe DAO to operate seamlessly, enhancing transparency and elevating process standards to an institutional level. The CES streamlines OBRA onboarding, milestone setting, progress tracking, and outcome reporting to SafeDAO.

Our Work

One of Areta’s core service offerings involves the tailored set-up of key governance elements and structures, including conducting DAO diagnostics and creating bespoke solutions to help DAOs operate sustainably. For the Contribution Efficiency System, we designed the processes to enhance and extend upon existing governance infrastructure within Safe DAO.
