- Proposals are the final step of getting an initiative or acquisition funded
- Since they are expensive, on-chain proposals should be almost matter of fact — the vote should almost be known beforehand through community engagement and excitement
- This is why there are multiple steps before an on-chain proposal is made
- Starting with discussions within the community
- Sharing memos and strategizing the approach both financial and operational
- Gaining buy-in from the DAO Core Team to operate the products
- Getting an understanding of how the DAO Core Team will need to grow to be able to operate the new product
- Working with a sponsor to polish your proposal before finally putting it up for vote on-chain
