[1RC] Snapshot Pro Subscription

Simple Summary

Subscribe to Snapshot Pro ($6,000/year) to restore delegation voting functionality critical to 1inch governance.

Abstract

The delegation strategy that powers 1inch DAO governance has been paywalled by Snapshot. This proposal requests $6,000 USDC from the DAO Treasury for an annual Snapshot Pro subscription to maintain governance continuity.

Motivation

  • Snapshot recently moved the delegation strategy to their Pro tier
  • Our entire governance system relies on delegation
  • Without Pro, we cannot post proposals using our established voting mechanism

Specification

  • Cost: $6,000 USDC per year
  • Payment: Send to Schnaps contract with metadata provided by Snapshot team: 0xe40bfeb5a3014c9b98597088ca71eccdc27ca410
  • Funding: 1inch DAO Treasury

Rationale

  • Critical Infrastructure: Delegation is fundamental to our governance model
  • Minimal Cost: $6,000/year is less than 0.06% of the treasury
  • Fair Value: We’ve been using Snapshot for the entirety of 1inch DAO’s existence but have not paid up until this point, so this cost seems reasonable
  • Avoid Disruption: Migration to alternative strategies would require smart contract changes and risk participation loss
  • Additional Benefits: Proposal monitoring (2hr response), priority support, delegates dashboard, enhanced visibility

Implementation

Upon proposal execution:

  1. Treasury sends $6,000 USDC to Schnaps contract
  2. Pro features activated immediately
  3. Annual renewal will be required
