BIP-86: Ecosystem Team 3-Month Extension & BA Devconnect Funding (Dual Biblio/RoyaltyDAO)
Ecosystem Team — 3-Month Extension (Oct–Dec 2025)
TL;DR
-
Extend the Ecosystem Team (Calc, Nejc & Squiddy) for 3 months with the same monthly budget and remit structure.
-
Add a one-off $12,500 USDC “Devconnect Argentina Pot” for lean, high-leverage event activations (unused funds return to the DAOs).
-
Focus this term on: Pirate Nation claim onboarding, Devconnect Argentina execution (Gaming District), weekly DAO updates, social media ops, EOY LLC compliance & 2026 planning, and execution of the Loot Treasury plan.
-
Funding split: We are asking that this funding come from BiblioDAO (58%) & RoyaltyDAO (42%).
Note: Nejc is the volunteer lead curator of the Devconnect Gaming District, providing high visibility to Loot and its culture through spotlighting Realms and other Loot-native projects.
Why a bridge term?
This 3-month bridge keeps ops tight while we sprint into Devconnect Buenos Aires, finish EOY obligations, and wrap up three high-impact deliverables: the Pirate Nation claim, Devconnect execution (Gaming District), and the Loot Treasury plan. Assuming passage, we’ll return before year’s end with a 3–6 month proposal informed by outcomes from this term.
Scope of Work (Oct–Dec 2025)
1) Pirate Nation Claim — Plan, Coordinate, Execute
Objective: Bring diamond-handed holders of Pirate Nation Founder Pirates (holder snapshot made before the NFT burn event) into the Realms ecosystem via a structured claim that drives new wallets, DAU, and cross-community engagement.
-
Organise “Realms Bag” claim of games in our ecosystem.
-
Finalise claim mechanics.
-
Tech coordination.
-
Comms & GTM.
2) Devconnect Argentina — Plan & Execute (Gaming District)
Objective: Maximise exposure and gameplay for ecosystem titles during Devconnect.
-
Curate and schedule all ecosystem game activations: demos, playtests, and talks.
-
Manage gaming district and asset operations: banners, merch, and shared materials.
-
Coordinate creator and press touchpoints: interview slots, hands-on sessions, and daily recap content.
-
Oversee onsite logistics: tournaments, playtests, speaker coordination, meetups, and partner engagement.
-
Produce and execute Loot Day: a flash, Loot-inspired cultural takeover of the Gaming District featuring art, CC0 poem readings, and game tournaments, recorded for inclusion in a Loot mini-documentary.
-
Conduct post-event debrief and collect actionable insights for future activations.
-
Lead BD efforts and partnership development throughout and after the event.
3) DAO Updates (Now includes Socials)
Objective: Provide a reliable, digestible heartbeat to the DAO across channels.
-
DAO Updates: ecosystem progress, links, next-week focus.
-
Media: ship 3–5 weekly posts across priority channels, amplifying ecosystem milestones, partner beats, Devconnect/Pirate Nation progress, and Realms.world-related articles (plus healthy “reply-guying”).
-
Interviews: a monthly Realms interview series covering ecosystem projects, contributors, personal journeys, and views on the space.
4) Listings & Platform Stewardship (Hygiene)
-
Maintain CMC/CG/Dexscreener/DappRadar/Realms.world data parity.
-
Discord housekeeping, security, link hubs, OpenSea collections, basic site copy updates.
-
Serve as POC in Discord for tickets, enquiries, etc.
5) EOY LLC Work (Fulfil Criteria) + 2026 LLC Plan
Objective: Close 2025 cleanly and set 2026 structure/options.
-
EOY compliance checklist (filings, bookkeeping, resolutions, document pack).
-
Options review for 2026 (status quo vs. alternative jurisdictions/providers; cost, risk, ops burden).
-
Organise and execute the proposals needed for 2026.
6) Loot Treasury Plan — Execute
Mandate: The Ecosystem Team (authorised multisig signers) will operationalise the approved Lootverse Microstrategy over this 3-month term.
What that means (concise):
-
We execute: source, approve, and sign treasury actions end-to-end (venue selection, OTC/TWAP execution, settlements) in line with the passed strategy and DAO approvals.
-
We document: maintain a public execution log (tx links, dates, sizes) and keep custody/compliance hygiene (multisig policies, 3/5 signer review).
-
We report: include progress in DAO updates and deliver an end-of-term treasury summary (positions, cost basis, cap usage, next-steps recommendation).
7) Studio Alignment and Grantees POC & Support
Mandate: Continue hands-on support for aligned studios and grantees; keep roadmaps on track; release funds against verified milestones; and amplify launches/playtests with clear comms.
What we’ll do
-
POC per studio/grantee: maintain a POC for every aligned studio and active grantee.
-
Cadenced check-ins: light regular async check-ins + a monthly review to track progress, risks, and help needed.
-
Milestone gating & payments: verify deliverables against the approved plan; prepare vesting/payment packets; execute grants when due.
-
Launch & playtest support: slot teams into the content calendar; coordinate playtests; provide GTM boosts (socials, Discord, KOLs); ensure listings/link hubs are current.
-
Issue escalation: flag slippage/blocked items early; agree remediation or scope adjustments with teams and (if needed) the DAO.
Budget
1) Team funding (unchanged)
-
$7,300 USDC per month ($6,350 + 15% buffer) × 3 months = $21,900 USDC.
-
Unused funds return to the DAOs at term end.
2) Devconnect Argentina Pot (one-off)
-
$12,500 USDC cap, used responsibly and sparingly for:
-
Team attendance light subsidies critical to delivery.
-
Event merch (stickers/tees/small materials/banners).
-
Lordly meetup/event (reasonable bar/venue cap).
-
Lightweight activations in/around the Gaming District throughout the week.
-
Loot Day commemorative event that will take over the Gaming District with a day’s worth of activities.
-
LATAM gaming-related charity contribution, planned to coincide with Devconnect Argentina and organised with local charities (to be refunded if it does not take place).
-
-
Reporting on spend and unused funds return to the DAOs.
Total Ask (Term 1.5): $34,400 USDC ($21,900 funding + $12,500 Devconnect Pot).
Rollover: There is $5,388 USDC remaining from Term 1; this offsets Term 1.5 requirements.
Execution (unchanged mechanics)
Funding structure: This proposal is submitted in equal form to BiblioDAO and RoyaltyDAO. Net of rollovers, BiblioDAO will cover ~58% of the total by applying leftover USDC from the prior term. Rationale: while all work advances the Loot ecosystem, the team’s day-to-day execution this term is primarily within Realms World.
-
The RealmsDAO L2 wallet will immediately sell $14,506 USD of EKUBO & ETH for USDC.
-
50% from ETH tokens.
-
50% from Ekubo tokens.
-
-
The RoyaltyDAO wallet will immediately sell $14,506 USD of ETH for USDC.
- 100% from ETH tokens.
-
The Ecosystem Team may claim up to $21,900 USDC at 1:1 within the term; allocation at the team’s discretion until term end.
Contingency & Dual-DAO Ratification
Context: This funding term is being proposed to two DAOs. To avoid mismatch or unilateral execution, the following rules apply.
Ratification condition (both or nothing):
-
Funding is only ratified—and any execution (token sales, disbursements, Devconnect Pot usage, etc.) may begin—once both DAOs have approved the proposal at the same total amount.
-
Until dual approval is achieved, the proposal is pending/void and no funds move.
If one passes and the other doesn’t:
-
The passed side remains approved but unexecuted and will not trigger any actions alone.
-
We will make up to three (3) re-submission attempts per DAO to secure matching approval.
-
If one DAO requests edits, we will update only that DAO’s version provided the total amount does not change.
-
If an edit changes the total amount or materially alters scope, the already-approved DAO must re-ratify.
Failed ratification (after attempts or deadline):
-
If matching approval is not achieved after the allowed attempts (or by the term start deadline, if earlier), the proposal lapses for this term.
-
We will return any remaining USDC from the prior term to BiblioDAO as previously committed. (This clarifies that leftover funds are not being held contingent on passage.)
Operational holds until ratified:
-
No treasury conversions (e.g., ETH/EKUBO → USDC), disbursements, or Devconnect spending occur prior to dual-DAO approval.
-
Signers will publish a short confirmation once both approvals are in place and before execution begins.
Governance & Conduct
-
Bound by the previously approved Binding Code of Conduct (welcoming, honest, anti-manipulation, pro-collab).
-
Weekly updates to keep the DAO informed; end-of-term report with outcomes and recommendations for the next 3–6 month proposal.
