Special Note: Thanks to @Arthur and cycle_dao for accelerating this bounty. I’ve called it “A DAO for cycles” to avoid confusion, but this is a cycle dao, and THE cycle_dao has collaboratively agreed to be a sponsor on the bounty.
Special Note 2: This idea was inspired by a conversation I had with @Maxfinity about how we could use the IC’s properties to fund the actual operation of the IC(cycles).

Description
This bounty gives the opportunity to
- learn about DAOs and how they work
- learn about cycles on the IC
- learn about governance on the IC
The goal of this bounty is to create a DAO that collects cycles for a particular application’s canisters and rewards users that supply those cycles with DAO tokens that can be used to manage the DAO.
Functions:
wallet_recieve()-> async () - must be called from a cycle wallet that can pass cycles. Use the experimental_cycles functionality to deposit the cycles and mint new DAOTokens according to the following schedule:
- If the Canister has more than MAX_CYCLES, refund all cycles.
- Consult the CYCLE_EXCHANGE_CONFIG and reward enough cycles to get to MAX_CYCLES and reward with minted tokens according to the menu levls. If MAX_CYCLES is greater than the highest configuration should use the highest configuration as max_cycles. Default Config:
MAX_CYCLES = 150_000_000_000_000;
[
{min:0; max:2_000_000_000_000; rate_per_T: 1: float;}
{min:2_000_000_000_000; max:10_000_000_000_000; rate_per_T: 0.8: float;}
{min:10_000_000_000_000; max:50_000_000_000_000; rate_per_T: 0.4: float;}
{min:50_000_000_000_000; max:150_000_000_000_000; rate_per_T: 0.2: float;}
]
The canister should support calling the DIP20, EXT(Fungible), and Ledger canister standards for the issued DAOToken for fungible tokens and DIP721, EXT(non-fungible), and the nft_origyn standard for NFTs. The canister should be a minting canister for the DAO token canister and call mint on the DAO token canister passing in the determined value as the token value(fungible) or the meta_data variable if an NFT.
The canister should implement:
configure_dao(command: ConfigureDAOCommand) → async Nat;
Each command must be submitted to the configured governance canister for approval. The governance canister should return a Nat that is a unique proposal id. The governance canister is free to implement any approval or voting scheme that it would like.
type ConfigureDAOCommand:{
#UpdateMaxCycles: Nat;
#UpdateMintConfig: [ExchangeLevel];
#DistributeBalance: { //sends any balance of a token/NFT to the provided principal;
to: Principal
token_principal: Principal;
amount: Nat; //1 for NFT
id: ?{#Text: Text; #Nat: Nat}; //used for nfts
standard: Text;
};
#DistributeCycles; //cycle through the allow list and distributes cycles to bring tokens up to the required balance
#DistributeRequestedCycles; //cycle through the request list and distributes cycles to bring tokens up to the required balance
#ConfigureDAOToken: {
principal: Principal;
};
#AddAllowList: {
principal: Principal;
min_cycles: Nat;
};
#RequestTopUp: { //lets canister pull cycles
principal: Principal;
};
#RemoveAllowList: {
principal: Principal;
}
#ConfigureGovernanceCanister: {
principal: Principal;
};
};
type ExchangeLevel {
min: Nat;
max: Nat;
rate_per_T: Float;
};
The canister should implement execute_proposal(Nat) → Result<Bool, Error> that runs a proposal and should only be callable by the governance canister.
As an implementation detail of DistributeCycles, it should likely be wired up via timer function and automatically approved and executed by the governance canister. The internal logic should keep it from running too often.
The canister should implement query cycle_balance() → Nat that returns the current number of cycles in the canister.
The inspiration for this kind of generic infrastructure was inspired by Max and the InfinitySwap team that is implementing something similar to support their canisters.
To apply for this bounty you should:
- Include links to previous work writing tutorials and any other open-source contributions(ie. your github).
- Include a brief overview of how you will complete the task. This can include things like which dependencies you will use, how you will make it self-contained, the sacrifices you would have to make to achieve that, or how you will make it simple. Anything that can convince us you are taking a thoughtful and expert approach to this design.
- Give an estimated timeline on completing the task.
- Post your application text to the Bounty Thread
Selection Process
The ICDevs.org developer’s advisors will propose a vote to award the bounty and the Developer Advisors will vote.
Bounty Completion
Please keep your ongoing code in a public repository(fork or branch is ok). Please provide regular (at least weekly) updates. Code commits count as updates if you link to your branch/fork from the bounty thread. We just need to be able to see that you are making progress.
The balance of the bounty will be paid out at completion.
Once you have finished, please alert the dev forum thread that you have completed work and where we can find that work. We will review and award the bounty reward if the terms have been met. If there is any coordination work(like a pull request) or additional documentation needed we will inform you of what is needed before we can award the reward.
Bounty Abandonment and Re-awarding
If you cease work on the bounty for a prolonged(at the Developer Advisory Board’s discretion) or if the quality of work degrades to the point that we think someone else should be working on the bounty we may re-award it. We will be transparent about this and try to work with you to push through and complete the project, but sometimes, it may be necessary to move on or to augment your contribution with another resource which would result in a split bounty.
Funding
The bounty was generously funded by the DFINITY Foundation and cycle_dao. If you would like to turbocharge this bounty you can seed additional donations of ICP to 596b5cdecdae9a8ba967d3bdc448d829f353c40c40a284b5f51a6ca283249e02. ICDevs will match the bounty 0.25:1. All donations will be tax deductible for US Citizens and Corporations. If you send a donation and need a donation receipt, please email the hash of your donation transaction, physical address, and name to donations@icdevs.org. More information about how you can contribute can be found at our donations page.
General Bounty Process
Discussion
The draft bounty is posted to the DFINITY developer’s forum for discussion
Ratification
The developer advisor’s board will propose a bounty be ratified and a vote will take place to ratify the bounty. Until a bounty is ratified by the Dev it hasn’t been officially adopted. Please take this into consideration if you are considering starting early.
Open for application
Developers can submit applications to the Dev Forum post. The council will consider these as they come in and propose a vote to award the bounty to one of the applicants. If you would like to apply anonymously you can send an email to austin at icdevs dot org or sending a PM on the dev forum.
Assigned
A developer is currently working on this bounty, you are free to contribute, but any splitting of the award will need to be discussed with the currently assigned developer.
In Review
The Dev Council is reviewing the submission
Awarded
The award has be been given and the bounty is closed.
