The birth of HydraDAO... and so much more! The HydraGon project's approval is a noteworthy milestone on our journey. This crucial step offers a sense of liberation, having been designed as an insightful self-assessment that acknowledged all discovered shortcomings. It has given us the opportunity to clearly discuss our challenges and pair them with the optimal solutions we've identified. Furthermore, HydraGon gaining support to move forward from the community implies we can initiate leveraging the power of EVM compatibility and embark on crucial tasks even before its full implementation. Hydra's EVM chain has the potential to support countless new opportunities, eliminating the "conversion friction" associated with prior technical limitations. This, combined with our commitment to share all we've learned with the community, paves the way for the birth of the Hydra Decentralized Autonomous Organization. Acknowledging the community's requests for increased involvement, we're pleased to propose a fresh, organized DAO environment. This will serve as a breeding ground for innovation and foster productive discussions rooted in expertise and research. Moreover, it will establish a sandbox environment where we aren't hindered from sharing unrefined ideas or taking risks with unconventional service providers and projects. For the DAO, we're considering adopting a structured Discourse platform. Discourse enables threaded discussions and provides an open API backend that could facilitate building additional plugins and custom tools. More agile than conventional forums, Discourse encourages more dynamic interactions. Also the simplified DAO framework that has been tested with the HydraGon vote comes as a very good instrument that can be coupled with the communication platform. What does the HydraDAO Discourse forum offer? - A platform for presenting ideas. Service providers, marketing agencies, listing agents, technology developers, product developers, and all are invited to propose their ideas, not merely to the team, but to the entire community. - It's permissionless and open for everyone to join, however it is also under strict moderation to ensure a professional, respectful environment where DAO peers can present well-informed viewpoints and focus on rationale discussions and results, opposed to bias. - All proposals must be thoroughly detailed and include a proposed model for evaluation based on specific KPIs. The HydraDAO Proposal Channels: _active-votes: this channel will communicate active votes. We will also mirror them on Telegram for wider exposure. _completed-votes: an archive of past votes. dao-framework: this is where the DAO's general terms will be shared with all participants. Although the DAO is permissionless and open for everyone, it will adopt a zero-tolerance policy for emotional messages or outbursts to ensure efficiency and a professional culture. economic-proposals: the channel for pitching ideas related to topics like inflation, grants-proposals -> the channel to discuss grants and seed funding for projects deemed strategic for the Hydra Protocol. liquidity-proposals: a channel for discussions on exchanges and liquidity topics. tech-and-security-proposals: a place for security auditing and engineering conversations. launchpad-proposals: a space where projects could apply for whitelisting and announcement to the HYDRA community. All applications would be relevant for Hydra's EVM deployment and could be temporarily bridged with an HRC20 token on the existing hydradex.org. grants-proposals: section where strategic projects could apply for incentives and/or where the community can decide to allocate incentives to onboard powerful existing EVM projects marketing-proposals: a section where community governed marketing campaigns can be discussed
