Detailed Summaries of Discussion Points

Deploy Plan for Bananapus, Revnet, and Bannyverse

jango led the discussion regarding the deployment plans for various projects. The Bannyverse entails media, naked bannies, outfits, educational content, and outreach/marketing. The targeted testnet date is around February 12th and production release, around February 17-20th. Jango emphasized the coordination among multiple parties during the process.

Revnet needs to add stages support to the revnet.app. This platform will facilitate access to Banny tokens, allowing users to join/exist the network and manage revenues.

For Bananapus, several requirements surfaced:

  • A fee-collecting project on mainnet plus Optimism and Arbitrum for treasury operations.
  • Swap terminal implementation: essential for accepting various currencies as fees.
  • Cross-chain revenue funnels, particularly for conducting operations across different blockchain networks.

Jango suggested focusing on partnerships with chain environments like Optimism and Arbitrum for project awareness. Testing, particularly for Bananapus, was emphasized, with attention on the base infrastructure and ensuring the Bannyverse works effectively.

Partnerships and Grant Proposals

The team discussed the need for writing grant proposals, primarily targeting Optimism as the primary platform where bannies will be sold first. There is a significant amount of work involved in application processes, including understanding governance forums for proposals.

Brileigh.eth and matthewb.eth offered their experience in writing grant proposals and were going to craft one for Roman Storm on Optimism, which can provide insights for future proposals.

Optimism provides substantial funding opportunities through two types of grants: "mission grants" and "retroactive grants." The group concurred to leverage both opportunities.

Nouns DAO Proposal

Matthewb.eth highlighted Proposal #493 under Nouns DAO, supporting a legal defense for developers Roman and Alexey of generic cash. He encouraged the community to vote and stated the significance of the Nouns community accepting this proposal. It was the first proposal ever that would pay a Juicebox project, marking a historic milestone.

The deadline for the vote was approaching, and community support, particularly from members with connections to Nouns DAO subgroups like SharkDAO, was solicited.

Governance and Platform Updates

There was a general appreciation for the community's patience and participation in the Juicebox governance cycle. Emphasis was placed on the importance of voting on proposals and engaging in thoughtful discussions.

Nance updates included the potential addition of more flexible commenting on voting reasons, suggestion to link out long explanations via IPFS, and PDF upload capabilities. Nance continues to work with other DAOs like CryoDAO and MoonDAO to integrate them into its governance system.

Podcast Recommendations

The meeting concluded with jango420 requesting recommendations for podcasts involving "four VC guys" for roughly 90 minutes, symbolizing the abundance of similar format shows. Filipvv and matthewb.eth stepped up with suggestions.
