Overview

CIP stands for CityDAO Improvement Proposal. Passing a CIP is needed whenever funds are allocated by the DAO towards an initiative. If you have an idea for a CIP, the first step is to write up the CIP using the below template. Then post it on https://forum.citydao.io. If you get confused, pop in the Discord and ask questions.

Proposal Process

1. Any Citizen NFT holder may write a proposal and post it on the forum.
2. For a proposal to move from forum to snapshot, it must receive 20 likes within 3 weeks.
3. A proposal is posted on Snapshot for a vote.
4. If it passes, the multisig allocates funds to the project.
