Linked Draft Proposal
Should LandWorks landowners keep their VP?
Summary
Allow LandWorks landowners to utilize their VP as at the moment it’s locked in the LandWorks protocol.
Abstract
Update: This is the second time this proposal is raised. Feedback from the first time was that this proposal has not been voted within EnterDAO first. On behalf of EnterDAO, I want to thank the Decentraland community for their involvement and dedication to ensure the transparency and integrity of the process. Last week a vote was initiated within EnterDAO. The purpose of the vote was to ensure that the EnterDAO community is behind the idea of LandWorks landowners to to keep their VP when listing DCL lands on the LandWorks platform. The result of the vote (6.7MENTR - 100% For) is indicative of the enthusiasm of the community about making this happen.
Abstract:
At the moment landowners who have listed their properties for rent on LandWorks cannot utilize their VP as it’s locked in the LandWorks protocol. With the recently enacted proposal by Nacho - Decentraland landowners can now keep their VP when listing their properties for rent on the Decentraland Marketplace . This proposal aims to allow LandWorks landowners to keep their VP as well.
Motivation
The LandWorks landowner community has requested to utilize their VP as they believe they can be more invested in the Decentraland DAO. Therefore this proposal is due to the collective request by the LandWorks landowner community.
Specification
LandWorks is a metaverse land rental marketplace. It’s a product of EnterDAO and was launched with support for Decentraland in January 2022. Since its inception, LandWorks has supported Decentraland LANDs and ESTATEs rentals and so far has accumulated over 300 rents.
The protocol has been active in the Decentraland community. Last summer LandWorks hosted the Open Scenes Grant Program where more than $50,000 were rewarded to builders in the Decentraland community for their scene creations. The scenes were also open sources for anyone to use them. We have also purchased a 2x2 ESTATE where we have our signature scene which has already hosted two parties for our community and friends.
With the recently enacted proposal by Nacho - Decentraland landowners can now keep their VP when engaging in a rental transaction. This has been requested by our landowners community as well and we would like to allow for landowners using LandWorks to keep their VP as well.
Our development team has already created the snapshot strategy based on the enacted proposal. The code is available here.
This could potentially allocate back about 320,000 VP to a small community who have proactively requested to use their VP.
Impacts
The imapct of this proposal is to include VP of LAND/Estate that have been listed in LandWorks. As the community has expressed interest in this,
we have implemented a strategy, similar to the one created for Decentraland’s Renting protocol. You can find the implementation here.
Implementation Pathways
In order the proposal to become active, here are the steps that need to be implemented:
We think that a member of the Decentraland development team would be great to verify that the snapshot strategy is implemented as expected.
Then, we will create a Pull Request to the main Snapshot repository.
Once the Pull Request has been merged, an admin from the Decentraland Snapshot Space has to enable the strategy.
Let me know if there are any questions, comments or concerns (@fungibletaco).
Conclusion
The LandWorks team and landowners community believe every landowner should be allowed to utilize their VP within the Decentraland community. This can be achieved due to the enacted proposal and we have already prepared the code (strategy) to do so. We believe going through the official proposal process will promote transparency and will allow the strategy to be considered valid and enabled by Decentraland.
