Initial Token Disbursement for Core Contributors & Launch Costs

Community, this is it β our very first Decentralized Improvement Proposal (DIP) is now live and ready for your vote!
Just one day after launching DAOForum, we're already putting our governance to work. This is what true community ownership looks like.

DIP-1: Initial Token Disbursement for Core Contributors & Launch Costs
This proposal authorizes the disbursement of tokens to recognize and reward the people who made DAOForum possible. Here's exactly what the funds will cover:
Core Team Rewards β Compensation for the team who handled design, development, and deployment
Final UI/UX Polish β Covering the costs of final interface adjustments and user experience improvements
Content Creator Compensation β Rewarding contributors who created the foundational threads that give our forum substance and value

This isn't just about paying people back β it's about setting the foundation for everything DAOForum will become.
The contributors being recognized here didn't just build a website. They created:
- A governance system that actually works
- Educational content that helps real builders
- A community space free from Web3 grift and noise
- The technical infrastructure for transparent, on-chain decision making
This is a one-time allocation specifically designed to recognize early contributions and ensure DAOForum starts with a strong foundation.

New to DAO voting? Here's how it works:
- Proposal Creation β Community members (like us) create proposals for how the DAO should spend funds or make decisions
- Community Discussion β That's what we're doing right here! Share your thoughts below
- On-Chain Voting β Token holders vote directly on the blockchain using DAO.cafe
- Execution β If the proposal passes, the smart contract automatically executes the decision
No middlemen. No corporate boards. Just transparent, community-driven decisions.

Voting Requirements:
- Hold DAOForum Token (DFT) in your wallet
- Connect your wallet to DAO.cafe
- Review the full proposal details
- Cast your vote: YES or NO
Don't have DFT tokens yet? Stay tuned β we'll be announcing how community members can participate in our upcoming token distribution soon.

This is your DAO, and your decision. Before you vote, let's talk about it:
