XIP#40 - Extend Javery as DevOps Lead

Authors

Core Team

Summary

This proposal is intended to extend the position of Javery, to continue leading DevOps at NFTX, for an additional year.

Rationale

Since the start of NFTX, we’ve gone through a broad expansion of the DAOs’ Core team by appointing individuals towards the Protocol or Product Squad, which in the long run has caused minor organizational inefficiencies. While the Core team has already solved these by acting as one horizontal organization, the yearly proposals were still merged.

Through this proposal (and XIP#39 + 41), we’re separating this process into extending each individual position independently.

Javery has been active as the DevOps lead within the Core team, being responsible for managing operational activities within NFTX, such as managing integrated APIs (i.e. TheGraph), setting up work environments for the rest of Core, and writing documentation for integrational partners & end-users, including being a main actor on support questions.

In the run towards shipping the third version of NFTX, both on protocol and product level, the core team would like to extend Javerys’ position and move his compensation plan from non-developer towards the developer bracket. This guarantees that the Core team remains operational and has all the know-how internally to switch over to NFTX v3.

If this proposal passes, Javerys’ position on the Core squad of NFTX will be extended for an additional year, according to the specifications listed below.

Effect

Opportunity

  • By retaining Javery, NFTX operations are able to continue as is in the build-up towards launching NFTX v3 later this year.

  • Extending Javery allows him to further execute the mid-to-long-term roadmap defined by Core.

Risk

  • None noted.

Specifications

If this proposal passes, Javery keeps responsible for leading DevOps. His main responsibilities are to:

  • Lead NFTX DevOps on a daily basis

  • Guarantee integrating partners have all the tools and documentation available to integrate NFTX

  • Build product(s) that contribute to the increase of NFT liquidity, inventory, and volumes across the board.

  • Work closely with Dev to ensure the backend services support the NFTX application and supporting tooling

  • Be available for interviews/recordings to discuss NFTX with the broader DeFi/NFTFi ecosystem

  • Maintain the Academy, Help, and tutorial content for NFTX products

Funding request - Yes - Implementation Requires Funding

  • In order to extend the position of Javery, we’d like to offer him a competitive package similar to other development roles within the DAO, for which funds are required from the DAO treasury. Packages are paid with a 75-to-25% ratio in USDC/NFTX.

The total amount of funds required from the treasury:

  • 131.250 USDC yearly vesting schedule using Sablier (or Superfluid/Llamapay if preferred).

  • NFTX (worth 43750 USD), paid out in advance quarterly at spot price.

These funds are to be paid from the DAO Treasury after the vote passes.
