Composition
The Partnership subDAO is formed by three pillars (working teams), each of them with clear mandates.
Teams operate independently but also act in conjunction when necessary:
- Partnership: responsible for seeking projects that can potentially be integrated into the Balancer Protocol. The mandate is not limited to integrations and BoB (Built on Balancer) initiatives, but also to the search of innovative products and potential partners willing to make Balancer their primary source of liquidity;
- Liquidity Mining: The LM Committee, now absorbed under the Partnership subDAO, is responsible for BAL allocations that maximise capital efficiency, attract and retain Protocol Liquidity;
- Rising Stars: Team specifically dedicated to the discovery and attraction of promising projects. Rising Stars should be leveraged in conjunction with LBP Platforms such as CopperLaunch. The Leveraging effect is coordinated with the Marketing subDAO via AMA initiatives and similar arrangements; The Rising Star Program is a pilot program and is evaluated on a Quarterly basis depending on Performance.
Workflow
In addition to the areas of expertise of each pillar, groups should follow Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) to reduce subjective opinions and with the intent to streamline processes.
With this in mind, a high level workflow has been created to be used as a guideline. The workflow can be adopted as a general guidance to be consulted by the Balancer team and external entities seeking to interact with the Balancer Partnership subDAO.
