Welcome to the first installment of the SuperRare DAO monthly community newsletter — where we’ll cover happenings, updates, and news surrounding the SuperRare DAO. April was an exciting month, with a number of important milestones and successful events. Here are some of the DAO’s recent highlights:
Introduction to SuperRare Improvement Proposals
Our commitment to decentralization starts with the DAO. In the spirit of Web3, we envision a community of artists, tastemakers, operators, curators, and collectors to become the agents that establish and define our movement.
For us to get there, we introduced the first building block in the process called the SuperRare Improvement Proposal (SIP). The SIP empowers community members to submit ideas to the DAO to shape the evolution of SuperRare.
MILESTONES
-
The first SuperRare Improvement Proposal (SIP) went to a community vote and passed with a 99.6% vote, with over 13M votes from 176 participants.
-
The community has spoken, and with the power driven by these SIPs we re-whitelisted three former SuperRare Artists: Robness, Eric Rhodes, and Max Osiris.
-
The SuperRare DAO completed and passed the first SIP proposal (SIP-4) to donate the DAO commission fees collected from the Ross’s Ulbricht NFT sale on SuperRare to the nonprofit charity, Ulbricht Freedom Trust.
-
With SIP-5, the community captured 7.2M votes on Snapshot to approve the proposal to add additional payment methods to include $RARE, $DAI, $USDC, and $WETH.
