Proposal #8 - New Snapshot Authors and Admins
Summary
This proposal covers the introduction of new Snapshot Authors, accounts with the ability to write proposals, onboarding two Panther contributors and six community members.
It introduces two new Admin accounts, community members, to play a role within a two-out-of-three multisig that can change the Snapshot settings for Panther's Snapshot space. Both of these actions will be applied during a timeframe of six months, after which the community is to nominate a new list of Admins and Authors.
This proposal aims to increase Panther’s degree of decentralization. This will be achieved by:
Increasing the number of accounts with the ability to publish proposals on the Panther Protocol space on Snapshot.org (Authors).
Setting up a Gnosis Safe multisig wallet, with 3 signers and a "2-out-of-3" signing policy as the only admin account for the Panther’s Snapshot.org space.
Adding two new community members additional to the current Admin as signers on the multisig.
The identities of the nominees are available in the proposal’s Description section. If this proposal passes, Panther’s Snapshot.org space will have eight new Authors and two new Admins, allowlisted for the next six months. The community will propose a list of nominees every six months and vote on their appointment. Furthermore, the Snapshot.org space’s settings will be set so that future changes to its settings will require approval from two of three allowlisted Admins.
Background
Increasing the number of allowlisted addresses, appointing additional Admins, and setting up a multisig for Admin actions increases the community’s presence in the Protocol’s governance and eliminates single points of failure.
Description
If this proposal passes, Panther Protocol’s space on the Snapshot.org cloud service will have eight new allowlisted Authors and two new Admins. Changes in settings of the space following the approval of this proposal will require the signature of two of the three allowlisted Admins. The permissions for this set of Authors and Admins are proposed to last for six months, after which we expect the community will propose its own list of nominees and vote on their appointment. This is part of Panther’s decentralized governance process with a focus on community governance. The new addresses allowlisted as Authors will belong to:
