SpiritDAO is an inclusive community. We recognize that every individual has inherited a unique set of circumstances, and that want to ensure pathways to access outside of capital.

Proof of Curiosity

This free membership tier provides users 30 days to complete SpiritDAO's Onboarding Process.

Upon successful completion of onboarding, PoC members will be airdropped a one-time no cost Advocate membership token. All standard benefits, restrictions, and length of membership token will apply.

All membership tokens are available for purchase with $SELF, so members have the capacity to perpetually earn no-cost membership through their contributions to SpiritDAO.

SpiritDAO membership contains two potential pathways for members to explore depending on their desired level of engagement.

Supporting Members represent all token-holding members of the SpiritDAO community. Supporting members possess a wide range of access and agency within the DAO and serve to further our shared efforts in a variety of directions. Supporting members have not completed SpiritDAO's onboarding process and do not possess governance rights.

Verified Members are individuals who complete our onboarding process. Voting and governance rights are reserved for our verified members. Governance at SpiritDAO is a privilege and responsibility. Verified Members must remain active in our community to retain their status. Formal onboarding support helps members understand the "why" and "how" behind our philosophy, practice, and purpose and adds a layer of Sybil resistance.

SpiritDAO offers ample pathways for contribution irrespective of your choice to formally onboard or not.

At SpiritDAO we embrace core values to align us with the single truth and relational universe.

Our commitment to equity in our interpersonal and systemic relationships demands that we include the voices of those who would otherwise have no access to us, prioritizing the presently disenfranchised. A portion (TBD) of each membership round will be set aside to support outreach and community building.

The Executive Pod is organized as a High Council Pod, providing elected members the power to unilaterally add and remove members, manage assets and membership requirements through democratic consensus within the pod. Members act as stewards responsible for supporting the working groups of the organization.

Responsibilities

The Executive Pod has the following powers:

1. Delegate capital to pods/members of pods

2. Make grants to other community members at their discretion, providing:

   • Transactions are disclosed transparently on the SpiritDAO Forum.

   • An Escrow is used to hold funds until the completion of the agreed-upon deliverable.

   • The deliverable has been fully assessed by the members of the Executive Pod.

   • Pay suppliers of the SpiritDAO network, providing such transactions are disclosed transparently on the SpiritDAO Forum.

3. Make grants to organizations and DAOs supporting furthering the Eight Dignities at their discretion, providing:

   • Transactions are disclosed transparently on the SpiritDAO Forum.

   • An Escrow is used to hold funds until the completion of the agreed-upon deliverable.

   • The members of the Executive Pod have fully assessed the deliverable.

   • Pay suppliers of SpiritDAO, providing such transactions are disclosed transparently on the SpiritDAO Forum.

Executive Pod members have the following responsibilities:

1. Keep an up to date record of their activities and use of funds.

2. Hold a weekly General Meeting (online or offline) and record the meeting meetings available to SpiritDAO token Holders.

3. Not miss any more than three (3) consecutive General Meetings without providing a valid excuse (medical or force majeure) or a public explanation to SpiritDAO Members.

Decision-Making Process

1. Any member of the Executive Pod can schedule an action in the DAO.

2. If another member disagrees or wishes to discuss said action, provided that said action has not been backed by a majority vote of the Executive DAO members in SpiritDAO, they can:

   • Speak directly with the member who scheduled the action, in preference through a channel that’s readable asynchronously by the community

   • Cancel the scheduled action to provide enough time for the discussion if necessary.

3. If the discussion between members doesn’t lead to an agreement or can not be scheduled soon enough (as determined subjectively by each member), each member of the Executive Pod can trigger a vote of the Executive Pod members to resolve the dispute through a simple majority. The vote must be open for a minimum of 4 days and no longer than 14 days.

4. The vote’s result will be invalid if:

   • Not all Executive Pod members vote AND the voting period has lasted less than 14 days or longer than 30 days. For clarity, if all Executive Pod members vote, the vote will be considered valid irrespective of the duration.

   • Less than 50% of Executive Pod members have voted.

While the possible directions SpiritDAO may support are endless, there are some additional pods that we should consider within the near future:

Message Pod: MEMEs, Lore, Design, and more to spread the message of self-actualization in alignment with the single truth and relational universe.

Compliance Pod: As shared in Self-actualization in the Age of Crisis the formal incorporation for the DAO is a non-profit 501(c)3 religious corporation. This intersection of non-profit, spiritual/religious, and DAO law is uncharted legal territory. A compliance team consisting of SpiritDAO members with legal expertise and/or a high proficiency for detail to ensure that our operations are remaining with compliance of both the SpiritDAO Charter and the laws of our incorporated state/nation.

Dev Pod: A important component of the sovereignty, privacy, and effectiveness of our community is our capacity to build solutions to our problems. The Dev Pod should serve the following purposes:

1. Review technical proposals in the Primary DAO and Pods to assess them from a technical risk perspective.

2. Remove technical proposals in the Primary DAO and Pods that represent a material or technical risk to the project.

3. Approve technical proposals they believe would be beneficial to the SpiritDAO project and DO NOT require a 3rd party technical security audit due to being low risk.

4. Suspend technical proposals they believe would be beneficial to the SpiritDAO mission, pending the completion of a 3rd party technical security audit.

5. When needed, add approved proposals to GitHub and other repositories and merge the code.

6. Maintaining a list of whitelisted technical security auditors they deem sufficiently competent to audit SpiritDAO smart contracts.

Eight Dignities Pod: In accordance with our pursuit of systemic actualization, we seek to support and strengthen other DAOs working towards the eight dignities. Eight Dignities Pod members will be responsible for proactively forming cross-DAO connections between members and distributing resources to said DAOs. Also may act as a support for all other pods by sharing learnings from other DAOs.

High Ritual Pod: Serves to support the spiritual practice of high ritual as described in Self-actualization in the Age of Crisis. Includes resource cultivation and management, as well as the practice's educational, safety, and therapeutic components. Given the sensitive nature of this practice it may be ideal to organize as a "The Dictator" model, where a trusted and committed member of SpiritDAO oversees the entire operation.

Member Experience Pod: SpiritDAO intends to serve as a "wide net" for people entering web3. To accomplish this, we must be vigilant in creating and ideating seamless user experiences in all aspects of interest in and engagement with SpiritDAO.

Operations Pod: Serves to support the continued operations of core team members and projects. It may also include the management of future physical locations, such as self-actualization centers.

Security Pod: SpiritDAO exists to serve our members as much as it does to spread our message. The security of our code and tools is paramount to this mission. The Security Pod might serve as a third-party auditor with cross-pod access permissions.

Wisdom Pod: Responsible for Sensemaker Prime. Including, but not limited to, knowledge additions, data analysis, etc.

The following bodies will form part of the SDGP process and are collectively called the SpiritDAO Network, composed of a Primary DAO and Pods. Pods are customizable coordination structures where we can encode specific governance rules into the smart contracts enabling them. We leverage to support the formation of Pods. For more details on how to organize pods, see

Primary DAO

Votes to validate the community’s sentiment and then schedule for on-chain execution, enabling SpiritDAO Members to exercise direct democracy (directly propose and approve proposals of any kind) and elect members to new or existing Pods.

Primary DAO votes are considered community-wide proposals and will typically involve the strategic direction of our DAO/non-profit efforts, major financial decisions, and meta-governance proposals.

For Primary DAO votes, the Executive Pod holds the right to organize proposals as Optimistic, meaning that any individual not voting is counted as a "Yes" vote.

Pods

Pods are controlled by the Primary DAO but may operate within custom frameworks of governance. See for more details about existing Pods.

In compliance with the legal requirements associated with operating a 501c3 Nonprofit in the United States, SpiritDAO has a formal Executive Director. This section details the responsibilities and roles of an Executive Director at SpiritDAO.

1. Position Title

Executive Director Held by: as of 4/1/24

2. Membership in the Executive Pod

The Executive Director shall be a member of the Executive Pod. This membership is essential for ensuring that the Executive Director is fully integrated and aligned with the strategic direction and governance model of the DAO.

3. Appointment

The Executive Director serves at the privilege and discretion of the Executive Pod. Appointment to this role is contingent upon the consent and approval of the Executive Pod members, as outlined in the DAO's governance framework.

4. Role and Responsibilities

The Executive Director serves primarily as a figurehead for the DAO. The responsibilities of the Executive Director include, but are not limited to:

• Representing the DAO in external engagements and communications, ensuring a consistent and professional presentation of the DAO's objectives and achievements.

• Implementing the decisions and directions determined by the Executive Pod and the broader DAO membership.

• Facilitating communication between the Executive Pod and other components of the DAO structure, ensuring that all parts of the organization are informed and aligned with the overall strategic direction.

• Ensuring that the operations of the DAO comply with applicable laws and regulations pertinent to 501(c)(3) organizations.

5. Nature of the Role

The role of the Executive Director is primarily symbolic and does not entail autonomous decision-making powers. The Executive Director is expected to act in accordance with the decisions and policies established by the Executive Pod and is accountable to the Pod for carrying out the collective will of the DAO.

6. Accountability and Review

The performance of the Executive Director shall be reviewed periodically by the Executive Pod, in accordance with the DAO's standard procedures for performance assessment. This review will focus on the effectiveness of the Executive Director in fulfilling the role as a representative and facilitator within the DAO's governance structure.

Members may not be elected to leadership positions in multiple pods simultaneously.

The Primary DAO can deploy a new Pods, be given control over an already deployed Pod, dissolve an existing Pod, or spin off a Pod as an independent DAO at any point in time.

Each Pod shall have its own operating agreement outlining, at a minimum, the responsibilities of its members, which shall be listed as an Appendix to the .

In case of conflict between agreements, the shall prevail over any Pod operating agreement.

Pod Proposal Templates may be found within our .

Community Vault: The reserve treasury of SpiritDAO. Used to fund Pods and/or to obtain yield.

• Any SpiritDAO Token Holder can make proposals for Financial Proposals as described in the Financial Proposals section of this SDGP process document.

• The Executive Pod is responsible for the responsible delegation of Community Vault funds to other Pods. A Primary DAO vote must approve any yield/vesting arrangements.

• Community Vault:

Operations Vault: A central treasury of the SpiritDAO Network. Used to fund general operations and make strategic funding.

• Any SpiritDAO Token Holder can make proposals for Financial Proposals as described in the Financial Proposals section of this SDGP process document.

• And any wallet with permissions for the Executive Pod (i.e., any member of the Executive Pod) can program and delete Financial Actions in the Executive Pod as per the Executive Pod operating agreement.

Additional Treasuries:

• Pods create additional treasuries under the exclusive control of the Pod (but not entirely outside the control of the Primary DAO). Pods use a lightweight permissions layer around a multi-sig wallet to create more flexible and composable working units.

• Both the Primary DAO and Pods may create additional treasuries through a majority vote of SpiritDAO Token Holders (Primary) or Pod Members (Pods)

  • Example: SpiritDAO will provide virtual and physical utility for holders, and therefore, the operations vault may require sub-vaults in future moments.

Note: For a abridged visual representation of the Proposal Process see .

Any Verified SpiritDAO Member can create a Proposal in the Primary DAO. Members may visit our to view our available proposal templates and guides.

Any Pod may remove a scheduled proposal at any time (e.g., Veto right) should they have the power to do so as per their operating agreement and this Charter.

All proposals must comply with the Requirements for Proposals & the specific format and process for the type of proposal as follows:

The Requirements for Proposals:

1. Public deliberation: all proposals must be shared during the public deliberation phase in the SpiritDAO Forum located in our Collaboration Center and linked in the unless these services are unavailable.

2. Voting period: the vote must be at least 7 days.

3. Scheduling: once approved, proposals are executed by the Executive Pod.

Types of Proposals:

1. Charter Improvement Proposals: proposals focusing on the amendment or enhancement of the SpiritDAO charter.

2. Funding Proposals: proposals that require the transfer of funds, typically to compensate for work completed/committed to be completed.

3. Meta Governance Proposals: proposals that change the governance processes, parameters, or tooling of SpiritDAO.

4. Elections Proposals: proposals where an election has already been agreed by the community (in the SpiritDAO Charter or in a previous proposal), and the proposal aims to source the candidates/options and then launch a vote to decide between them.

5. Pod Proposals: proposals to fund new/existing pod operations and efforts.

6. Text Improvement Proposals: proposals to add new, remove, or edit content within Self-Actualization in the Age of Crisis.

7. Other Proposals: any other type of proposal.

Process for Financial Proposals and/or Other Proposals (sequential order):

Public deliberation phase: A post with the draft of the proposal is posted in the SpiritDAO Forum for a minimum of 7 days and a maximum of 14 days and must follow the appropriate format. Proposals must follow the appropriate format depending on the type.

Voting: the proposal (or a revised version incorporating the community’s feedback) is posted for a vote.

1. For calculating voting power:

   1. Primary DAO: 1 Membership Token = 1 Vote

   2. Pod Voting: Voting power per membership token may in relation to merit earned.

Approval: a proposal is deemed approved and scheduled for execution if the following conditions are reached:

1. Support: The vote shall be deemed as “passed,” with a simple majority (>50%) of the participating SpiritDAO Token holders having voted in favor.

   • Primary DAO proposals intend to leverage Optimistic Governance to overcome voter apathy and organizational impasse. Any vote not cast in a specific direction (yes/no) out of the total possible votes is considered a "Yes" vote. The scope of total votes may vary for specific pods, but the Primary DAO always considers all possible votes.

   • Pods may also choose to leverage Optimistic Governance or require specific quorums (minimum vote amounts) for votes to pass.

• When a proposal includes a code submission, the Dev Pod has up to 14 days to decide and communicate via a post in SpiritDAO Forum whether a proposal will be:

  1. Accepted and incorporated.

  2. Submitted to a 3rd party audit to determine its safety (conditional on the Operations Vault having the necessary funds).

  3. Rejected as malicious, technically infeasible, or economically infeasible (if an audit is required and the Operations Vault lacks the necessary funds to cover the costs of the audit).

Process for Elections (sequential order):

Public deliberation phase: A post with the draft of the proposal is posted in the SpiritDAO forum for a minimum of 10 days and a maximum of 30 days with the format:

1. Title of Proposal (in the format “Election Gov Proposal: [Proposal Title]”)

2. Description of the Action (including what permissions will be given/removed for which Pod and/or Primary DAO)

3. If the election is proposed before the stipulated in the agreements of the Pod, add a description of why an advanced election is needed

4. Optional but ideal: ETH Wallet address of the author(s) and/or other identifiers.

Sourcing Candidates: Candidates can be proposed (and/or propose themselves) by replying to the Forum post (only one candidate per post reply) in the following format:

1. Identifier: ETH wallet address, name, discord handle, and optional twitter handle / other identifiers

2. Rationale: description of why they are an ideal candidate for the position

Voting: top 10 candidates with the highest number of upvotes in the SpiritDAO Forum will be put forward to a vote.

1. If the election is proposed before the frequency stipulated in the operating agreement of a specific Pod (if any), the vote must also include the option to keep the current permissions even if the current wallets were not amongst the top 10 candidates.

Approval & Execution:

1. In the exceptional case that two proposed users gain the same number of votes, the winner will be the candidate who reaches the tied number of votes first.

   • Example: Candidate A and B both tied at 7 votes, Candidate A wins because it reached 7 votes a day before Candidate B. If votes are submitted in the same block, repeat the vote.

Disputes between members that can not be addressed through facilitation or mediation, shall be resolved by the Executive Pod.

In the future SpiritDAO may develop an internal court to separate the function from the Executive Pod.

SpiritDAO members earn merit through their contributions to the DAO and community. Presently we're leveraging Hats Protocol to assign merit to unique, non-transferable membership NFTs.

Today we are presently leveraging merit as a means of voice and vote amplification within the community. However, this is an experimental technology with plenty of room to expand. Whatever trajectories we take, our community of Verified Members will determine the ideal courses of action.

We as community members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in the SpiritDAO a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation. We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, effective, and healthy community for ourselves, each other, and the planet.

Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our community include:

• Assuming good intentions and demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people.

• Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.

• Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback.

• Proactively taking responsibility.

• Communicating if we might fail to uphold responsibility, working to avoid or repair negative consequences on others, adequately apologizing to the affected parties, and learning from the experience.

• Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals but for the overall community.

• Embodying the values of the .

Examples of unacceptable behavior include:

• Selling or renting votes.

  • Note that this does not include formal vote delegation, which may be a feature leveraged by the SpiritDAO community as we expand.

• Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal attacks.

• Public or private harassment, including stalking or repeated unwanted contact, non-consensual sexual attention, sexualized language or imagery, or advances of any kind.

• Misleading or passive-aggressive comments.

• Publishing others' private information, including Personal Identifiable Information (PII) such as a physical address or email address, without their explicit permission.

• Hate speech, such as promoting violence or hatred against people based on characteristics like race, ethnicity, national origin, caste, disability, disease, age, sexual orientation, gender, or gender identity.

• Doing any unlawful purpose or in furtherance of illegal activities.

• Spam (unsolicited off-topic messages, primarily commercial in nature).

• Inciting or threatening violence, encouraging, glorify or inciting violence against anyone relating to extremism, terrorism, or human trafficking, directly or indirectly, or encouraging others to hurt themselves.

• Propose or make any payments or behave directly or indirectly in a way that violates applicable anti-corruption laws.

• Repeatedly yelling (e.g., ALL CAPS or excessive exclamation points!!!!!!!!).

• Discussing the price of a token or asset or giving any type of financial advice.

Community Members will follow the guidelines listed below in determining the consequences for any action they deem in violation of the Code of Conduct:

1. Correction Community Impact: A single use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed unwelcome in the community.

   1. Consequence: Deletion or removal of the post in question, in addition to communicating which rule was violated and how to avoid such violations in the future. If the action was in person, directly communicate with that individual to identify which rule was violated and how to avoid such violations.

2. Warning Community Impact: A violation through a single incident or series of actions.

   1. Consequence: A warning with consequences for continued inappropriate behavior. No interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels like Telegram, Discord, Reddit, Community Forum, etc. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or permanent ban.

3. Temporary Ban Community Impact: A severe violation of community standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior.

   1. Consequence: A temporary ban from any interaction or public communication with the Community for a specified period. No public or private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period. Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.

4. Permanent Ban Community Impact: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals. Vote-selling or vote-renting classifies for a permanent ban.

   1. Consequence: Permanent removal from any interaction or public communication with the Community for a specified period. If an individual has alternate accounts, those may be removed as well. No public or private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed.

Every community member has a duty to promote the use of the Community Guidelines, call to attention members of the community who come close to or violate the Guidelines (as long as this doesn’t put their personal safety in jeopardy), and inform platform admins of violations. Ultimate responsibility for enforcing the Community Guidelines in each platform rests with the platform admins of each platform.

To report a violation of the Community Guidelines, members can:

• Tag a moderator in the platform where the violation has occurred,

• Email the moderators at community@spiritdao.org

• Anonymously submit a report via:

The guidelines in this section shall not be amended and shall apply to all proposals submitted to SpiritDAO. If any other guidelines in this Agreement conflict with these immutable guidelines, the immutable guidelines shall take priority for enforcement purposes. Proposals submitted in conflict with our immutable guidelines will be removed without consideration and repeat offenders will risk disciplinary action.

Proposal compliance:

• Proposals must be governed by this Agreement, or a future version of this Agreement as modified within the bounds of the Agreement.

• Proposals must align with SpiritDAO's three core purposes. SpiritDAO may not serve to further dominion spiritual philosophies and practice.

• Proposals must not disproportionately benefit a majority of SpiritDAO Token Holders voting on a proposal over the minority.

The guidelines in this section may be amended. These guidelines apply to all proposals put forth to SpiritDAO.

Proposal compliance

4. If the proposal amends one or more Network contracts, then a security audit report of the Network contract amendment may be carried out and deemed passed (as defined in the Governance Proposal Process).

Disputes

1. Disputes over any proposal relying on this Agreement must be resolved by the Executive Pod or, in the future, a SpiritDAO Court.

2. Other disputes between SpiritDAO Token Holders should be resolved according to the Community Guidelines or by the following incremental processes: dialogue, facilitation, mediation, and arbitration (by default, the Executive Pod). Unless a participant cannot participate for legal or psychological reasons, the order for choosing the appropriate mechanism is first to last, as described above.

On 6/1/23 R. Rivers transferred all past/present revenues from physical/audio book sales to the SpiritDAO vault via Coinbase direct transfer.

100% of the sales revenue from Self-Actualization in the Age of Crisis in all forms support the community vault. Vault: 0xF3c47077C406FeA33daD4BE498fDf03Cb5d4537f Hash: 0x7edb4578f07e7e1e7bfcd11e62771877a3c950ecb5fd09569f71c72ca9721b07

Upon formal incorporation of the DAO full rights to the book and all relevant IP will be signed over to the organization.

SpiritDAO is reimagining who and what we are in alignment with the single truth and relational universe. We will periodically make artifacts available to purchase for members and non-members alike. Members can acquire these relics with $SELF tokens or standard accepted currencies at a reduced price. Non-members will be able to purchase items as well.

100% of proceeds from artifact creation will support the SpiritDAO Community Vault.

In an effort to expand our influence and impact, SpiritDAO will proactively develop tools and protocols to help empower our community members and those of other DAOs seeking to advance systemic actualization through the Eight Dignities.

Member fees (donations) represent a source of recurring revenue for SpiritDAO. Membership tiers are means based, meaning that members are expected to contribute an appropriate amount given their personal circumstances. Unlike most spiritual communities, tithing is not a central focus of our operation or message. Memberships help to create a steady revenue stream that supports our Community Vault.

For more information, see Membership Model Details.

As a 501(c)3 religious non-profit SpiritDAO community members may donate capital in a variety of forms and functions to our community. Donations are tax-deductible under standard U.S. state and federal legal frameworks. SpiritDAO may on occasion attempt to leverage donation raises to kick off new initiatives.

As a non-profit Impact DAO, we seek grants from various sources. These grants will typically fall under programmatic (funding a specific program) or general operating (capital that can be used to meet overhead needs).

Grants will typically flow to the Community Vault, but Pods applying for and receiving grant funding from external organizations may have the capital transferred directly to their Pod multi-sig.

While SpiritDAO is a decentralized community, our purpose, practice, and community will be significantly strengthened through the facilitation of events.

Events may take the form of significant occasions where members are encouraged to travel to a centralized location or through local chapters.

Some events may have fees associated with them. Members can exchange $SELF tokens for access to these events for partial/complete entry fees. Depending on the event, non-members can join and participate for a standard entry fee.

100% of proceeds from our events will flow to our Community Vault.

SpiritDAO self-actualization community centers will be designed to facilitate community connection via gathering spaces, community productivity centers, and retreats. Net revenues flow to the community wallet. Accessible via standard currencies and community token holders. Token holders are always prioritized.

Except for any indemnification obligations or specific liability set out in this Charter, the liability of each natural or legal person that has drafted any part of this Charter or supported the initiation of this Charter or e SpiritDAO, each SpiritDAO token Holder, each member of a governance body (Pods) and each natural or legal person interacting with the SpiritDAO Network shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The liability of each of the aforementioned is several and not joint, and each shall be liable only for its obligations (and not those of anyone else) under this Charter or in connection with this Charter or with the SpiritDAO Network.
