ORA Investment DAO

The ORA Investment DAO is designed to support innovation by funding promising projects. The distribution of funds follows a structured process with clear rules to ensure alignment, transparency, and collaboration.

Two-Tiered System

Lifecycle of Fund Payouts

  1. Initial Proposal

    • Any participant (House member) can submit one proposal by paying 333_ORA.
  2. Auction for Senate Seats

    • A bidding period opens, allowing participants to compete for Senate seats by acquiring and staking $ORA tokens from the market.
    • Every 33 days, there will be an auction for one additional seat to become Senate member, ensuring fresh perspectives and reducing centralized influence.
    • The total amount staked in the auction for Senate seats determines the payout for the proposal.

    Formula for Payout:

    Payout = min(T * F, M)
    
    where:
    - `T` = Total $ORA staked in Senate auction
    - `F` = Fund release multiplier (e.g., 1.5x or 2x)
    - `M` = Maximum payout limit for a single proposal (determined by the Ecosystem Fund allocation)
    
  3. Voting Period

    • Senate members vote on proposal.
    • A rate high approval threshold of Y% is required to approve the proposal.
  4. Payout and Execution

    • Once the Y% threshold is met:
      • Funds equivalent to min(T * F, M) are released from ORA’s ecosystem funds.
      • Funds are disbursed in phases based on the project’s execution milestones.

Tiers of Involvement

  1. House
    • Open to anyone who pays 333_ORA to submit a proposal.
  2. Senate
    • Membership is determined by an auction for seats, requiring Senators to acquire and stake $ORA from the market.
    • New Senate members are elected for each proposal, ensuring decentralized governance.
    • Senate members vote to approve or reject proposals and influence fund allocation.

Voting Rules

  • A Y% approval threshold is required for any proposal to pass.
  • Voting is conducted by depositing $ORA tokens into the proposal’s voting pool.
  • Once the threshold is met, the Investment DAO releases funds based on the formula min(T * F, M).
  • A Senator’s influence in voting is proportional to their staked amount.

Incentive Mechanism

  • Senate members must accumulate and stake $ORA tokens, creating demand and aligning their interests with the ORA ecosystem.
  • By tying funding directly to community participation, the ORA Investment DAO fosters a vibrant, engaged ecosystem.

This framework, with its transparent payout formula, voting weight mechanics, and structured governance, ensures alignment between funding, community commitment, and innovation.
