Title: Election Grant Community Moderation 2024
Status: Stage IV
Track: Other
Created: 05/04/2024
This GIP is a follow up of the GoodDAO Community Moderation Grant 2024
First of all, thanks to everybody who showed interest and applied to the Community Moderations Grant 2024! As we progress with the redeployment of the GoodDollar Protocol, more opportunities will arise from the DAO.
Following the initial screening to ensure alignment with the grant’s objectives, three applications have advanced to the voting phase: Q-Team, GIMT-Team and The Good Team.
This proposal aims to select one of these Community Moderator teams to take over the scope of work and responsibilities fully described in the Community Moderation Grant post.
- The total budget allocated for community moderation is 14,400 cUSD for the entire 6 months, to be paid monthly after review of the monthly report. This budget is donated from Good Labs Foundation.
- The grant is to cover a 6 month time frame, April 2024 - September 2024.
- The grant scope covers moderation for all global GoodDollar community channels, for minimum coverage of 100 hours per week (full scope & channel list below). For example for a group of 4 would be 25 hours each, and 600cUSD each month.
The team selected for the role will be chosen through a single-choice voting process on Snapshot. The current team is extending their functions until the end of the voting period and over the next few days, ensuring a smooth transition in the event of a new team being selected.
In April’s GoodDollar Community Call, the three teams presented their compelling applications, introducing themselves to the community and presenting reasons why other members should vote for them. You can view their presentations at the last 20 minutes of the call.
These are the candidate teams for the role:

Working Experience;
I am a 23 years old Nigerian and recent graduate from the University of Maiduguri. I started my crypto journey since 2018 and at that time many of my community members aren’t aware of the advent of crypto. Looking at this, I started working on essential measures to take in other to promote the knowledge of crypto within my community and beyond. At last, I was able to come up with a team named “SOCIAL-HUSTLERS” where I created a forum titled " THE SOCIAL-HUSTLERS FORUM", this provided me a room to onboard, engage and interact with divers community members in other to create awareness on the opportunities available online. This also makes me stand on the cutting edge to serve as a community moderator attending to both physical and virtual assistance and meetups in different aspects of the online opportunities especially the crypto space.
In the subsequent years when many crypto projects started their journey, especially the mobile mining projects. I joined the trend and serve as a lead there by promoting some of these projects while assisting my community on how to get started and to be familiar with such mining projects. Today, not only crypto mining, I took many contracts from different crypto companies such as (Busha) and non - crypto companies. I am currently a Spurt! Ambassador and a HR Assistant at Pailot (A decentralized Logistics Platform on Pi Network) all assigned with the task of moderation, leads generations and promoting their products and services which were attained efficiently and effectively. This gave me the Ideal experiences to work consistently and apply essential measures to attain to the stated goals in any task assigned to me. I believe applying such verse experiences achievements and enough time to work with my young age and as a graduate, if chanced to take part in the Gooddollar Moderation, Gooddollar shall thrive to the next level.
My Experience with Gooddollar;
I have joined the Gooddollar project around 2021 where I navigated through various research to understand the potential of the project in other to engage and take it forward to my community. In my research, I found that Gooddollar is a legit project which is targeted towards the provision of Universal Basic Income (UBI) as an ideal scenario to address income differences, and to enhance transparency in financial transactions. In a nutshell, I also noticed that Gooddollar token (G$) is not just a mere speculative token but serves as a token that can be used in exchange of goods and services which makes it becomes a Utility token.
Looking at that, I joined the project and started engaging with it’s community to learn more about what the project entails. For the matter of fact, the mods there have been doing great looking at the rapid response rate which encouraged me to start preparing the strategies to take in other to promote the Gooddollar project looking at it’s potential and the positive impact it will make on my community. I created a group specifically to promote Gooddollar and thankfully, alot has been achieved as a result of that. Many of my communities have joined and understand a little on what the Gooddollar project is all about.
- GIMT Targets for Gooddollar Improvement;
As a team that is geared towards contributing collectively to the success of the Gooddollar project, it is ideal to brace up with three essential points to serve as our plans and targets for the effective and efficient delivery of the Gooddollar Moderation. To this note, the three targets of the GIMT towards the improvement of the Gooddollar project are summarized based on some essential parameters which are as follows;
- Adherence to the Moderation Scope/Terms and Conditions: Our team will ensure that the we are familiar with and follow all the guidelines and rules that have been set for the community. This includes things like code of conduct, posting policies, and other guidelines. It’s important to follow these rules to maintain a healthy and safe community environment.

- Occasional Campaigns for Project Promotion: Our team will periodically be running campaigns or initiatives to promote the project or cause. This could include things like social media campaigns, awareness-raising events, or other activities that generate interest and support for the project. This helps to keep the community engaged and motivated, and helps to spread the word about the project, it’s potential and leads to bringing new members to the project and the Gooddollar community.

Four individuals with different backgrounds, cultures, nationalities, and insights that have joined with a common goal: rekindle the passion for a project that breaks financial barriers and was created to help others.
