Thanks, zylo, tomorrow works. Below is the final text of each, ready to paste. The wording is exactly what’s in #7 above and the first post of t/1109, in English only like AIP-18, with a link to the Chinese text. Only the Implementation section changed: it now says the upload is on 2 November and the vote opens 24 hours later and lasts 48 hours, so it stays right whatever time you upload. For both: choices are For / Against / Abstain, and the discussion link is the forum link at the end of each text. Once they’re up I’ll update the dates in both forum posts to match Snapshot. **AIP-21** Title: `AIP-21: Supporting statements for the mission` ```auto **1. Summary** AIP-18 made peace AssangeDAO's mission. This proposal adds a vision, a set of values, and a short test for whether a piece of work fits the mission, so that holders, signers and applicants read the mission the same way. **2. Motivation** A mission says what the DAO is for. It does not say how to judge a proposal or a request for funds when the case is unclear. Most DAOs publish a few supporting statements for this. AssangeDAO's earlier drafts of these (t/285) were never voted on. **3. Proposal details** *Vision* A world in which truth reduces the power of lies to start wars, and no one who speaks for peace has to stand alone. *Values* - Neutrality: we neither support nor oppose any political party, government, or candidate. - Solidarity: the worldwide network that helped win Julian Assange his freedom is our model. - Truth as the method: we pursue peace by making facts public and checkable. - Open coordination: cryptography and public process, not closed deals. - Accountability: every treasury action is posted in full before it is signed, so any holder can check it, unless an AIP provides otherwise. - Dignity: we don't use war or suffering to promote the DAO or the token. *The mission test* A proposal, project or grant fits the mission when the answer to all four questions is yes: 1. Does it help resolve conflict or build understanding, or support people who speak up for peace? 2. Does it respect the neutrality principle? 3. Can the people receiving support lawfully accept it? 4. Will they report back publicly on what was done? These statements are published alongside the mission on the DAO's website. They can be amended by a later AIP. This vote authorizes no treasury spending. **4. Voting options** - For - Against - Abstain (Approval voting is set for the whole space, so please tick only one option.) **5. Implementation** Discussed on the forum until 31 October 23:59 UTC. Uploaded to Snapshot on 2 November, together with AIP-22. The vote opens 24 hours after upload and lasts 48 hours. $JUSTICE-weighted. Discussion and Chinese text (中文全文): https://forum.assangedao.org/t/1105/7 ``` **AIP-22** Title: `AIP-22: Perpetual Fund grants, paid in $JUSTICE` ```auto **1. Summary** AIP-20 staked 59.65 ETH and kept the rewards in the Perpetual Fund until holders chose a mission. Holders chose peace. This proposal sets how the rewards are spent: grants to work that fits the mission, decided by holders in one vote each quarter, and paid in $JUSTICE, with ETH as a limited exception. The principal is never spent. **2. Motivation** The rewards are small for now, about 1.3 ETH a year at the current rate (0.056 ETH in the first 15 days). They will grow as more of the treasury is put to work. A separate Snapshot vote for each grant would mean a quorum to reach every time for amounts this size. One vote per quarter, covering every application at once, keeps the decision with holders without wearing them out. Paying grants in $JUSTICE means that most of every round is also a purchase of $JUSTICE, and that recipients become holders with a voice in the DAO that supported them. Some groups can't accept a token like $JUSTICE, so they can ask for ETH instead, up to a quarter of each round. **3. Proposal details** *Budget* - The principal is the 59.649856 stETH staked under AIP-20. It is never spent. - Each round's budget is the stETH value of the wstETH in the Safe, minus the 59.649856 stETH principal, minus any grants already approved but not yet paid. Grants are paid by selling that wstETH, so past payouts are already reflected in the balance. Anything unspent stays in the fund for the next round. - If a later AIP stakes more of the treasury, or directs other income such as liquidity-position fees to the Perpetual Fund, those returns join this budget under the same rules. *Who can apply* - Anyone, for work that passes the mission test in AIP-21. - No grants to political parties, campaigns, candidates, or governments. - Signers, Consensus Unit members and their close associates may apply, but must say so in the application, and a signer does not sign a payment to themselves. *Quarterly rounds* - Applications are posted on the forum. Each says who will receive the grant, what it is for, the amount in ETH, the receiving Ethereum address, and how the work will be reported. An application that asks to be paid in ETH rather than $JUSTICE says so, and why. - Applications close at 23:59 UTC on the last day of February, May, August and November. The vote opens at 00:00 UTC on the 7th of the following month, leaving at least 6 days of discussion. - All of a round's applications go into one Snapshot vote with approval voting, plus a "None of these" option for holders who want to take part without backing anything. Holders tick every application they support. A round can hold up to 19 applications, the most Snapshot allows alongside "None of these". - An application is funded only if its support is more than half of the voting power cast in the round. Snapshot counts each wallet once in that total, so anyone can check it on the results page. Funded applications are paid in order of support until the budget is used up. - If a round doesn't reach quorum, nothing is approved and the budget carries forward. - No single grant may take more than half of a round's budget. - So votes are held in March, June, September and December. For the first round, applications open when this proposal passes and close at 23:59 UTC on 30 November 2026, and the vote opens at 00:00 UTC on 7 December. *Urgent requests* For something that has just happened and needs help now, a request can go to a vote of its own without waiting for the next round, if: - the event happened within the last 30 days, and - waiting for the next round would make the help much less useful, and - it passes the mission test. It is marked [Urgent] on the forum, discussed for at least 48 hours, then put to a For/Against vote. An urgent grant can be at most half of the budget available at that time, and what it uses comes out of the next round's budget. It follows the same payment rules, and if it is paid in ETH, it counts toward the next round's ETH limit. *Payment* - Grants are approved in ETH. After the vote, the signers sell the matching amount of wstETH for $JUSTICE through CoW Protocol, in equal parts over at least 3 days. The price is capped by the same two limits as AIP-20: no more than 115% of the 7-day volume-weighted average price, and no more than 4 times the treasury's ETH per $JUSTICE. - This proposal authorises the Safe settings these purchases need, such as the fallback handler for CoW orders, for each round's purchase only. They are restored when the purchase ends. - If a capped purchase doesn't fully fill, the unsold wstETH stays in the Safe. The grants it was for stay approved: recipients receive what was bought, and the rest is bought and paid with the next round's purchase. - Each recipient receives $JUSTICE in proportion to their approved ETH amount, at the average price of the purchase. - A recipient that can't accept $JUSTICE, for example an organisation whose rules only allow ETH, can ask in its application to be paid in ETH. Holders see this when they vote. - Grants paid in ETH can take at most a quarter of a round's budget. If the ETH requests in a round go over that, those with the least support are offered $JUSTICE instead, or can apply again in the next round. - Recipients without an Ethereum address can't be paid under this proposal yet. Reaching them would need a registered entity or partner, which is a matter for a later AIP. - Before signing, the signers check each named recipient and receiving address against the sanctions lists that apply to them, and keep a record of the check. - As AIP-15 requires, execution starts within 72 hours of the vote closing. Every transaction is posted on the forum before it is signed. *Reporting* - Recipients report on the forum within 90 days of payment: what was done and how the grant was used. - A recipient who doesn't report can't apply in later rounds. This proposal can be amended by a later AIP. **4. Voting options** - For - Against - Abstain (Approval voting is set for the whole space, so please tick only one option.) **5. Implementation** Discussed on the forum until 31 October 23:59 UTC. Uploaded to Snapshot on 2 November, together with AIP-21. The vote opens 24 hours after upload and lasts 48 hours. $JUSTICE-weighted. Discussion and Chinese text (中文全文): https://forum.assangedao.org/t/1109 ``` ─── 中文 谢谢 zylo，明天上传没问题。下面是两份提案可直接粘贴的最终文本。措辞与上面 #7 和 t/1109 首帖完全一致，和 AIP-18 一样只放英文，末尾附中文全文的链接。唯一的改动是"实施"一节：改为 11 月 2 日上传、上传 24 小时后开始投票、持续 48 小时，这样无论几点上传都准确。 两份提案的选项都是 For / Against / Abstain（赞成 / 反对 / 弃权），讨论链接即各自文末的论坛链接。上传后，我会把两个论坛帖子里的日期改成与 Snapshot 一致。 --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.assangedao.org/t/next-steps-immediately-after-the-mission-is-decided-vision-values-goals/1105)._
