Marketing DAO Proposal Funding Guide

With the new funding vehicle in place, please use this step-by-step guide below to request funding upon the Approval of your proposal in the Forum.

Note:
Each proposal requires the endorsement of 3 council members. The title of your forum post will be updated with [APPROVED] once approved. Please ensure you have read and understand the Terms and Conditions as laid out at the bottom of this Guide.

Step 1: GWG KYC Request Form

Fill in the GWG KYC Request Form

  • First-time applicants who are making a funding request from the Marketing DAO are required to complete the GWG KYC Request Form.
  • If you have previously passed KYC and received funding, you are not required to submit a GWG KYC Request Form again.
    • At present funding applicants need to submit KYC only once every 365 days, therefore it is NOT required for each claim.
  • IMPORTANT you must accept the terms and conditions by checking the Marketing DAO box in the Form.

Step 2: Fractal - Identity Verification

Our third party ID verification service provider, called Fractal, will email you with a prompt to complete a ‘Know Your Customer’ (KYC) identity verification. The company may request a piece of formal ID and a photo.

Complete the KYC process following the instructions sent to your email. All Reward payments are subject to being approved for KYC.

About KYC:

  • KYCs are required in the traditional banking sector, cryptocurrency platforms, and exchanges for AML compliance.
  • At present funding applicants need to submit KYC only once every 365 days, therefore it is NOT required for each claim.
  • I-Am-Human verification is NOT required at the moment until further announcement.

Step 3: Astro DAO Transfer Proposal

Ensure that you include the following in the Description:

  • Brief Description of Project being funded
  • Total Amount Requested in Near tokens
  • Link on approved proposal
  • Target Wallet
  • T&C Acceptance Text ‘I have read and understand the Terms and Conditions of the Marketing DAO’, and information about KYC (write - KYC passed)

  • Click on Propose button
  • The Transfer Proposal will be reviewed and voted on by the Marketing DAO Council.
  • When it receives the majority votes, it will be paid out to the wallet you’ve indicated in your Transfer Proposal.

Step 4: Receive Funding

If KYC verification has been passed, and the Transfer Proposal has been approved, you will receive the payment to your wallet when it has been voted by a majority of Council (within 7 days from the creation of the Transfer Proposal).
