SUMMARY
This MIP proposes allocating 1,500 $MYTH per month, for 13 months, for a Mythos DAO Ambassador Program. The Program’s objective is to promote the Mythos Ecosystem, increase community engagement, and attract new members via a dedicated team of Mythos Ambassadors.
BACKGROUND
The early stages of a DAO can be slow, as membership and activity is still growing. This Ambassador program is meant to accelerate the DAO’s growth, by incentivizing members to promote Mythos and inspire the community to be active and engaged, primarily through Discord and on social media. In this way, we can build momentum in these early days of the Mythos DAO.
OBJECTIVE
This MIP is meant to establish a Mythos DAO Ambassador Program. It proposes the compensation, success criteria, and selection process for the Ambassadors, whose purpose will be to drive community engagement, promote our ecosystem, and attract new members, in order to accelerate MIP submissions and expand the impact of our DAO.
TEAM
The team responsible for implementing and administering this Ambassador Program will consist of the Mythos Foundation administrators and community managers. The Ambassadors themselves will be members of the Mythos Discord who demonstrate a passion for the Mythos Ecosystem and its mission.
Selected Ambassadors will need to fulfill certain monthly requirements, detailed below, in order to retain their position and receive their monthly compensation. Ambassadors who do not meet these requirements will be removed from the Program and replaced, so long as the potential replacement meets the eligibility criteria, detailed below.
SPECIFICATION
The Ambassador Program will cap at 25 members at any given time. Each ambassador will be given 60 $MYTH at the end of each month, provided they fulfil the requirements, as incentive for their contributions. Ambassadors who do not fulfil the monthly requirements will be removed from the Program.
The monthly requirements for Ambassadors to receive payment and retain their position are:
-
Post at least 30 messages on the Mythos Discord, tracked via the MEE6 leaderboard.
- Messages must avoid any spam-like characteristics (e.g., “Good morning,” “Hello,” “How are you”). Ambassadors who spam without contributing to the community will have their monthly activity reset.
-
Amplify the @EnterTheMythos Twitter handle at least 10 times, such as:
-
Mentioning @EntertheMythos
-
Quote Tweeting @EnterTheMythos
-
-
Be a member of the Mythos DAO Discourse (https://forum.mythos.foundation/)
Ambassadors are also encouraged to assist new members in navigating the Mythos ecosystem, helping them understand the governance process and participating in the MIP process.
Before the end of each month, Ambassadors will submit a templated report to the Mythos Foundation administrators, who will use the report to assess whether the Ambassador has fulfilled their requirements. If so, the Ambassador will receive payment for the prior month. If not, a new spot will open up and a snap nomination process will commence to fill it, in line with the nomination process detailed below.
IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
If this MIP is passed, the following steps will take place to select the Mythos DAO Ambassadors:
-
A new channel will be opened on the Mythos Discord, titled “Ambassador Program Nominations.”
-
Members who are interested in becoming an Ambassador will self-nominate by sending a message in this channel, which includes their Discourse handle and Twitter handle; nominees are encouraged to make their case for why they should be selected by the 25th of each month.
-
The members whose posts receive the most Likes after a period of 7 days following the establishment of this channel will be selected as the Ambassadors. The amount of Nominees selected to become Ambassadors will be dependent on how many Ambassadors are being removed from the program in that month. The right to vote on potential Ambassador Nominees will be exclusive to $MYTH token holders.
In the event of a tie in Ambassador Nomination voting, a secondary vote will be held among the existing Ambassadors to settle the tie. In the event of a tie during the secondary vote, a Mythos Foundation administrator will make a selection as the final tie-breaker.
To reduce clutter, any messages sent in this channel that are not self-nominations will be deleted. For discussion, please use the General or “Ambassador” channels.
Ambassadors who joined the program in the initial starting month of the Ambassador program will receive their 60 $MYTH payout for the month prior to the submission of MIP-2.
COST
The budget required for the Mythos DAO Ambassador Program is 1,500 $MYTH per month over 13 months (starting May 2023), for a total 19,500 $MYTH. If the community wishes to continue the Program after one year, it can be reinitiated via a new MIP.
