Proposal: Probate process

Status : DRAFT

Summary :
This proposal aims to standardize the way a user can request Decentraland DAO to transfer ownership of all LAND and STATE from one account to another.

Abstract:
A user starts by presenting her case to the DAO’s community using our forum to gather feedback. Then she opens a proposal using our governance dapp by providing the address to collect LAND and STATES from and paying a fee of 1000 MANA.

The proposal will follow our community voting guidelines. When the proposal is enacted it will transfer ownership of all LAND and STATE owned by the first account to the one paying the fee.

Motivation:
Private keys will be lost. If enough proof is presented to the DAO the rightful owner should gain access to her non-fungible tokens. See Ethen’s case as the first example.

Specification:
Update the LAND and ESTATE smart contracts to allow the DAO to change the owner of a property. Also, update the governance’s UI to allow users to create a new type of proposal under the name “Initiate Probate”.

For:
Upgrade Decentraland’s smart contracts to empower the DAO to transfer ownership of all land/state from one account to another.

Against:
Do not upgrade Decentraland’s smart contracts to empower the DAO to transfer ownership of all land/state from one account to another.

Yemel,

Can we set up a time to speak about this process? I would very much appreciate a conversation about the whole thing.

Best,
