Societal - A Homebase for Decentralized Communities

UPDATE: We are working on updating the proposal based on the comments from the community. We will update the post below when the new proposal is ready.

Dear Kusama Community,

My name is Graeme Fox - Co-Founder & CEO of Societal. For those of you that dont know, Societal is a parachain that makes it easy to organize, govern, and grow on-chain communities. Its streamlined SaaS application is the ideal platform for any Kusama community including the creator economy, protocols, social clubs, gaming, DAOs, and more.

Societal is seeking $238,041.72 USD / 8,883 KSM in treasury funding to become the homebase for decentralized communities on Kusama and provide governance and treasury management services to any tokenized project. The payment would be in two installments - half on acceptance and the other half after the completion of Milestone 1.

As it stands today, the DOTSAMA ecosystem does not have the creation, governance, and treasury management tooling products that other major blockchains do. By building these products, we will strengthen the DOTSAMA community, as NFT projects, DAOs and dApps will have a platform to manage their governance and community.

Societal has not applied for treasury funding before and has a small amount of VC backing. We are asking the treasury to support our project so that we can bring our product live on Kusama, onboard users. We believe that after we do this we will be in a position to go after more VC funding, as funding is currently at a stand still for early stage crypto projects. Additionally, we believe that the DOTSAMA ecosystem needs more usable applications, as most projects today are DeFi or smart contract platforms.

Please find the full proposal here. It would be great to hear your input about our proposal and I would be happy to answer any questions that you may have.
