# Loot Survivor Advancement Proposal
**One Liner**
This proposal requests 50 ETH to support the next major expansion of Loot Survivor whilst providing Loot DAO with an increased economic and governance stake in the Loot Survivor ecosystem.
## **History and Inspiration of Loot Survivor**
Loot Survivor emerged from the minimalist brilliance of the original Loot project, a deceptively simple NFT collection launched by Dom Hofmann in 2021. Comprised of white text on a black background, Loot appeared at first glance to represent the ultimate low-effort NFT grift. Strangely, though, the creator paid thousands of dollars to deploy this collection on Ethereum and made it available for… free?
It turns out the deceptively simple appearance of the Loot bags was a feature of the artwork. Meanwhile, encoded in the contracts was a rich structure of metadata, providing the blueprint not just for a game but an entire world \- the Lootverse.
As an early Lootverse pioneer, I was among the first to discover some of Loot’s hidden secrets, wonderfully detailed by @timshel [here](https://x.com/TimshelXYZ/status/1453988147134533634). This became a defining moment in my life and for many others in the Loot community, including the creator.
Despite hundreds of millions in trading volume, it suddenly became apparent that no one actually understood Loot. Meanwhile, one of the previous challenges with Loot was that if everything was “open to interpretation,” how could the community establish basic canonical principles that would allow us to build a world together?
As someone drawn to Loot as an onchain gaming primitive, this changed everything. As I began to understand the data encoded in the Loot contract, I saw the structure for an entire game \- a game that would allow the Loot items to escape the confinement of the Loot bags, be equipped by onchain Adventurers, and realize their full greatness potential.
I would spend the next four years, with several other elite builders, working within the constraints of Ethereum and its network of rollups to deliver on that vision. Despite feeling like a billion random jigsaw-puzzle pieces at times, the structure laid out in the Loot contract served as a reliable guide \- each piece snapping crisply together as the vision of Loot Survivor materialized.
**Loot Survivor is not a Loot derivative; it is Loot brought to life.**

## **Previous Funding Proposal**
Loot DAO is one of several DAO sponsors of Loot Survivor 2 (proposal: [https://loot-dao-site.vercel.app/vote/4](https://loot-dao-site.vercel.app/vote/4)). While a number of specific details in the original vision for Loot Survivor 2 are not present in the finished product, Loot Survivor 2 is simply the tip of the iceberg.
Powering Loot Survivor 2 is an onchain dungeon engine called Death Mountain, which provides the scaffolding for advanced features such as Bring-Your-Own-Bag. In the two years between that proposal and delivery, it became clear that the market for onchain gaming was too small to focus on leaderboards and competitive play; it was far more strategic to focus on Quests and Collectibles.
Over the last couple of years, we also developed a deeper understanding and appreciation for DeFi systems, learning how to use them to more efficiently distribute value. Where the original proposal envisioned discrete, infrequent rewards (e.g., someone randomly rolling your bag to start the game), the actual implementation uses a more powerful and efficient token buyback system based on the $SURVIVOR token.
To honor and acknowledge Loot DAO’s sponsorship, the Loot Survivor team has allocated 2.5% of the $SURVIVOR supply to Loot DAO.
This provides Loot holders with optionality, including (but not limited to):
* HODL $SURVIVOR to maintain a significant shared economic and governance stake in Loot Survivor.
* A simple distribution of $SURVIVOR to Loot holders.
* Gamified distribution via a custom Loot-only Death Mountain dungeon.
In all cases, the above structure is more economically efficient and simple for Loot holders. The 2.5% is currently being held in a 2/3 multisig on Starknet by the Loot Survivor core devs. [Wallet is here](https://voyager.online/contract/0x061a55ab9a4c739ab1d4e04a4f6628d51b8601de150d2ee46c7835c8da5964dd).
While we are in custody of Loot DAO’s $SURVIVOR tokens, we agree to adhere to all custodian requirements outlined in the Loot Treasury Charter ([https://loot-dao-site.vercel.app/vote/10](https://loot-dao-site.vercel.app/vote/10)).

## **The Next Chapter in the Loot Survivor Series**
In addition to debuting a revolutionary onchain game stack and shattering previous records, Loot Survivor 2 also sets the stage for the next major chapter in the Loot Survivor series with the debut of Survivor DAO \- a fully onchain governance structure.
Up to this point, Loot Survivor has been directed by a small number of builders empowered largely via grants from Loot, Bibliotheca, and Genesis Project. Those grants were made to specific entities to execute specific roadmaps. Over the years, however, we have seen a substantial increase in organic contributors to Loot Survivor. From music to art to code, Loot Survivor is becoming a major source of creative inspiration \- just like Loot.
To provide room for additional thought leaders and visionaries to emerge, it’s essential to decentralize the future funding of Loot Survivor initiatives. As such, instead of submitting a proposal for a specific roadmap executed by a specific team, this proposal requests that **Loot allocate 50 ETH to the Loot Survivor DAO, entrusting $SURVIVOR token holders to allocate it in the best interest of Loot Survivor.**
While the spirit of this proposal recognizes Loot Survivor’s ability to spread the spirit and lore of Loot as a public good, it also seeks to further increase Loot’s economic and governance stake in Survivor DAO. This is achieved by **using the 50 ETH to participate in the DAO’s initial offering of 15% of the $SURVIVOR supply.**
This token offering will happen on Ekubo, the most trusted decentralized exchange on Starknet, which features a powerful time-weighted automated market maker (TWAMM). TWAMM allows tokens to be efficiently streamed into an AMM pool over time, enabling efficient and orderly distribution.
By using the 50 ETH for a 90-day DCA buy order that corresponds with the 90-day DCA distribution order, the 50 ETH will be converted into $SURVIVOR on a block-by-block basis, ensuring optimal, and near-unbeatable, price execution. All entities that issue this same order to Ekubo, regardless of size, will receive an identical price. With 100% of proceeds going to the DAO Treasury, this results in Loot providing 50 ETH of support for the continued growth and expansion of Loot Survivor while gaining increased economic and governance interest.
* If participation in the DAO token distribution is low, Loot will acquire a substantial portion of the 15%.
* If participation is high, Loot will acquire a smaller portion, but Survivor DAO will be seeded with more starting capital.

**Provable Games’ Vision for the Future of Loot Survivor**
While the long-term success of Loot Survivor requires it to evolve beyond a single vision executed by a single team, Provable Games remains willing and capable of delivering the next big expansion which we see as Loot Survivor RPG.
While detailing specific features during early stages of development has proven unwise, the headline features include the addition of a native coordinate system for the Loot Survivor Adventurer primitive \- allowing onchain Adventurers to exist within shared, persistent worlds. Whereas previous version of the game take place within a confined treacherous dungeon, Loot Survivor RPG will allow Adventurers to explore the world outside the dungeons.
We intend to lay out a more detailed vision for this title in the coming months as part of a funding proposal to Survivor DAO.

## **Loot Holders Voting on Survivor DAO**
As part of this proposal, the active custodians of Loot DAO’s $SURVIVOR treasury agree to mirror all Loot Survivor DAO proposals with a Loot DAO proposal on whichever governance platform Loot DAO is using. The custodians will take the result of the Loot DAO proposal and apply it to the Loot Survivor DAO vote pro rata. For example, if the Loot DAO vote is 75% YES / 25% NO, the custodians will vote YES with 75% of Loot’s $SURVIVOR tokens and NO with 25%.

## **Consistency with Loot Treasury Charter**
### **Section 1.04 \- Treasury Tenets**
Loot Survivor is a high-leverage contributor to multiple tenets of the Treasury Charter:
* **Awareness:** As one of the few actively maintained, highly played, and media-covered Loot games, Loot Survivor increases Loot’s visibility across Ethereum and Starknet.
* **Legacy:** Loot Survivor has achieved what few onchain games have: continuity. It is on its third major version, with original code, art, and design open source and CC0.
* **Community:** We prioritize onboarding new players, builders, and storytellers. Our governance is public, and participation is open to anyone with a $SURVIVOR token.
### **Funding Category (Charter Article IV)**
As a **large-scale distribution (\>20 ETH)**, this proposal is structured to comply with **Article IV** of the Loot Treasury Charter:
* **Milestones:** Proposals and initiatives funded via Survivor DAO must pass token-holder votes, creating an ongoing, milestone-driven funding flow.
* **Oversight:** The treasury and all Survivor DAO votes are public, onchain, and governed by community-defined rules.
* **Transparency:** All decisions are timestamped, traceable, and verifiable \- ensuring Loot DAO’s participation is fully auditable.
This framework ensures that the funds allocated through this proposal remain **transparent, accountable, and used for their intended purpose**.

### **Execution of Proposal and Transfer of Funds**
If this proposal is accepted, the current custodians of the Loot Treasury will transfer 50 ETH to the following L1 Multisig: 0x6bE4E27E62F27Ad82AB4482f88e60A80C5007e99 where the signers are the trusted Loot Survivor core team members: loothero, distracteddev, await.
The ETH will be bridged to the Starknet Multisig custodying Loot’s current allocation of 2.5% $SURVIVOR [here](https://voyager.online/contract/0x061a55ab9a4c739ab1d4e04a4f6628d51b8601de150d2ee46c7835c8da5964dd). The ETH will be converted to USDC and used to participate in the 90 day $SURVIVOR DCA. At the end of the DCA, the $SURVIVOR proceeds will be deposited back into the multisig where they will not be touched without a Loot DAO vote.

### **Forging the Next Chapter of Loot Survivor**
Over the last four years, Loot Survivor has transformed from a spark into one of the most prolific, visible, and based onchain games ever created. Loot Survivor isn’t a Loot game simply because it has Loot in its name or because it features the names of the Loot items, it’s a Loot game because by simply playing Loot Survivor, one develops an increased understanding and love for Loot.
A **“Yes”** to this proposal represents:
* A vote of confidence in Loot Survivor.
* A vote of confidence in loothero.
* A vote in favor of Loot increasing its economic and governance stake in Loot Survivor.
* A desire to see the next chapter of Loot Survivor.
