# BIP-86: Ecosystem Team 3-Month Extension & BA Devconnect Funding (Dual Biblio/RoyaltyDAO)
# Ecosystem Team — 3-Month Extension (Oct–Dec 2025)
## TL;DR
- Extend the Ecosystem Team **(Calc, Nejc & Squiddy)** for 3 months with the same monthly budget and remit structure.
- Add a **one-off $12,500 USDC “Devconnect Argentina Pot”** for lean, high-leverage event activations (unused funds return to the DAOs).
- Focus this term on: **Pirate Nation claim onboarding**, **Devconnect Argentina execution (Gaming District)**, **weekly DAO updates**, **social media ops**, **EOY LLC compliance & 2026 planning**, and **execution of the Loot Treasury plan**.
- **Funding split:** We are asking that this funding come from **BiblioDAO (58%) & RoyaltyDAO (42%)**.
> **Note:** Nejc is the volunteer lead curator of the Devconnect Gaming District, providing high visibility to Loot and its culture through spotlighting Realms and other Loot-native projects.

## Why a bridge term?
This 3-month bridge keeps ops tight while we sprint into Devconnect Buenos Aires, finish EOY obligations, and wrap up **three high-impact deliverables: the Pirate Nation claim, Devconnect execution (Gaming District), and the Loot Treasury plan**. Assuming passage, we’ll return before year’s end with a **3–6 month** proposal informed by outcomes from this term.
---
## Scope of Work (Oct–Dec 2025)
### 1) Pirate Nation Claim — Plan, Coordinate, Execute
**Objective:** Bring diamond-handed holders of Pirate Nation Founder Pirates (holder snapshot made before the NFT burn event) into the Realms ecosystem via a structured claim that drives new wallets, DAU, and cross-community engagement.
- Organise “Realms Bag” claim of games in our ecosystem.
- Finalise claim mechanics.
- Tech coordination.
- Comms & GTM.
### 2) Devconnect Argentina — Plan & Execute (Gaming District)
**Objective:** Maximise exposure and gameplay for ecosystem titles during Devconnect.
- Curate and schedule all ecosystem game activations: demos, playtests, and talks.
- Manage gaming district and asset operations: banners, merch, and shared materials.
- Coordinate creator and press touchpoints: interview slots, hands-on sessions, and daily recap content.
- Oversee onsite logistics: tournaments, playtests, speaker coordination, meetups, and partner engagement.
- Produce and execute **Loot Day**: a flash, Loot-inspired cultural takeover of the Gaming District featuring art, CC0 poem readings, and game tournaments, recorded for inclusion in a Loot mini-documentary.
- Conduct post-event debrief and collect actionable insights for future activations.
- Lead BD efforts and partnership development throughout and after the event.
### 3) DAO Updates (Now includes Socials)
**Objective:** Provide a reliable, digestible heartbeat to the DAO across channels.
- **DAO Updates:** ecosystem progress, links, next-week focus.
- **Media:** ship **3–5 weekly posts** across priority channels, amplifying ecosystem milestones, partner beats, Devconnect/Pirate Nation progress, and Realms.world-related articles (plus healthy “reply-guying”).
- **Interviews:** a monthly **Realms interview series** covering ecosystem projects, contributors, personal journeys, and views on the space.
### 4) Listings & Platform Stewardship (Hygiene)
- Maintain CMC/CG/Dexscreener/DappRadar/Realms.world data parity.
- Discord housekeeping, security, link hubs, OpenSea collections, basic site copy updates.
- Serve as POC in Discord for tickets, enquiries, etc.
### 5) EOY LLC Work (Fulfil Criteria) + 2026 LLC Plan
**Objective:** Close 2025 cleanly and set 2026 structure/options.
- EOY compliance checklist (filings, bookkeeping, resolutions, document pack).
- Options review for 2026 (status quo vs. alternative jurisdictions/providers; cost, risk, ops burden).
- Organise and execute the proposals needed for 2026.
### 6) Loot Treasury Plan — Execute
**Mandate:** The Ecosystem Team (authorised multisig signers) will operationalise the approved **Lootverse Microstrategy** over this 3-month term.
**What that means (concise):**
- **We execute:** source, approve, and sign treasury actions end-to-end (venue selection, OTC/TWAP execution, settlements) in line with the passed strategy and DAO approvals.
- **We document:** maintain a public execution log (tx links, dates, sizes) and keep custody/compliance hygiene (multisig policies, **3/5 signer review**).
- **We report:** include progress in DAO updates and deliver an end-of-term treasury summary (positions, cost basis, cap usage, next-steps recommendation).
### 7) Studio Alignment and Grantees POC & Support
**Mandate:** Continue hands-on support for aligned studios and grantees; keep roadmaps on track; release funds against verified milestones; and amplify launches/playtests with clear comms.
**What we’ll do**
- **POC per studio/grantee:** maintain a POC for every aligned studio and active grantee.
- **Cadenced check-ins:** light regular async check-ins + a monthly review to track progress, risks, and help needed.
- **Milestone gating & payments:** verify deliverables against the approved plan; prepare vesting/payment packets; execute grants when due.
- **Launch & playtest support:** slot teams into the content calendar; coordinate playtests; provide GTM boosts (socials, Discord, KOLs); ensure listings/link hubs are current.
- **Issue escalation:** flag slippage/blocked items early; agree remediation or scope adjustments with teams and (if needed) the DAO.

## Budget
### 1) Team funding (unchanged)
- **$7,300 USDC per month** ($6,350 + 15% buffer) × 3 months = **$21,900 USDC**.
- Unused funds return to the DAOs at term end.
### 2) Devconnect Argentina Pot (one-off)
- **$12,500 USDC** cap, used responsibly and sparingly for:
- Team attendance light subsidies critical to delivery.
- Event merch (stickers/tees/small materials/banners).
- Lordly meetup/event (reasonable bar/venue cap).
- Lightweight activations in/around the Gaming District throughout the week.
- **Loot Day** commemorative event that will take over the Gaming District with a day’s worth of activities.
- LATAM gaming-related charity contribution, planned to coincide with Devconnect Argentina and organised with local charities (**to be refunded if it does not take place**).
- Reporting on spend and unused funds return to the DAOs.
**Total Ask (Term 1.5):** **$34,400 USDC** ($21,900 funding + $12,500 Devconnect Pot).
**Rollover:** There is **$5,388 USDC** remaining from Term 1; this offsets Term 1.5 requirements.
---
## Execution (unchanged mechanics)
**Funding structure:** This proposal is submitted in equal form to **BiblioDAO** and **RoyaltyDAO**. Net of rollovers, **BiblioDAO will cover ~58%** of the total by applying leftover USDC from the prior term. _Rationale: while all work advances the Loot ecosystem, the team’s day-to-day execution this term is primarily within Realms World._
- The **RealmsDAO L2** wallet will immediately sell **$14,506 USD** of EKUBO & ETH for USDC.
- 50% from ETH tokens.
- 50% from Ekubo tokens.
- The **RoyaltyDAO** wallet will immediately sell **$14,506 USD** of ETH for USDC.
- 100% from ETH tokens.
- The Ecosystem Team may claim up to **$21,900 USDC** at 1:1 within the term; allocation at the team’s discretion until term end.
---
## Contingency & Dual-DAO Ratification
**Context:** This funding term is being proposed to two DAOs. To avoid mismatch or unilateral execution, the following rules apply.
**Ratification condition (both or nothing):**
- Funding is **only ratified**—and any execution (token sales, disbursements, Devconnect Pot usage, etc.) may begin—**once both DAOs have approved** the proposal **at the same total amount**.
- Until dual approval is achieved, the proposal is **pending/void** and **no funds move**.
**If one passes and the other doesn’t:**
- The passed side remains **approved but unexecuted** and will **not** trigger any actions alone.
- We will make up to **three (3) re-submission attempts per DAO** to secure matching approval.
- If one DAO requests edits, we will update **only that DAO’s** version **provided the total amount does not change**.
- If an edit **changes the total amount or materially alters scope**, the already-approved DAO must **re-ratify**.
**Failed ratification (after attempts or deadline):**
- If matching approval is not achieved after the allowed attempts (or by the term start deadline, if earlier), the proposal **lapses** for this term.
- We will **return any remaining USDC from the prior term to BiblioDAO** as previously committed. _(This clarifies that leftover funds are not being held contingent on passage.)_
**Operational holds until ratified:**
- No treasury conversions (e.g., ETH/EKUBO → USDC), disbursements, or Devconnect spending occur prior to **dual-DAO approval**.
- Signers will publish a short confirmation once both approvals are in place and before execution begins.

## Governance & Conduct
- Bound by the previously approved **Binding Code of Conduct** (welcoming, honest, anti-manipulation, pro-collab).
- Weekly updates to keep the DAO informed; **end-of-term report** with outcomes and recommendations for the next **3–6 month** proposal.
