Proposals

Authors

Core Team

Summary

This proposal is intended to extend the position of JB, to continue leading UX/UI Design at NFTX, for an additional year.

Rationale

JB has been active as the UX/UI design lead within the Core team, being responsible for designing all user-facing interfaces, such as the recently launched NFTX V3 app.

In the coming year of V3 iteration, both on protocol and product level, the core team would like to extend JBs’ position. This guarantees that the Core team has a designer to ship new features and updates, based on internal roadmaps and learnings from user feedback post-V3-launch.

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

Effect

Opportunity

  • By retaining JB, NFTX operations are able to continue in executing our mid-to-long-term roadmap defined by Core and Product.
  • We will be able to support, improve, and iterate NFTX’s frontend following the launch of V3, driving toward key feature releases planned by Core.

Risk

  • None noted.

Specifications

If this proposal passes, JB keeps responsible for leading UX/UI design. His main responsibilities are to:

  • Lead NFTX UX/UI on a daily basis
  • Guarantee designs for new products are delivered to other team members to be used for new products
  • Build product(s) that contribute to the increase of NFT liquidity, inventory, and volumes across the board.
  • Coordinate across product/dev team to gather feedback and iterate product
  • Collaborate with Marketing and BD where needed for assets and/or gathering product insights

Funding request - Yes - Implementation Requires Funding

  • In order to extend the position of JB, we’d like to offer him a similar competitive annual package to the previous year, 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:

  • 120,000 USDC over a 12-month vesting schedule via Sablier.
  • NFTX tokens worth 40,000 USD, paid quarterly based on the current market rate.

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