The MetisDAO Foundation’s DAOtribution Campaign is an effort to foster the community growth of DACs on the KORIS application. Starting February 6th, apply for a grant issued by MetisDAO Foundation to launch their DACs on KORIS. DACs can receive upwards of $1,500 issued in Metis tokens awarded after a community vote is hosted through weekly governance proposals. In total, MetisDAO Foundation will issue up to $15,000 worth of grants in Metis tokens. 

To apply for the grant, qualified applicants will be selected through a governance voting process hosted on the KORIS platform. Communities are encouraged to vote for the applicants they wish to receive the grants. Through this community-led decision making process, the first DACs on KORIS will be formed, kicked off by a grant sponsored by MetisDAO Foundation. 

The goal of the DAOtribution Campaign is to provide funding for groups to launch their DAC and to use the KORIS application to benefit other DAOs through a core product or service.

1. Applicants with 3 verifiably individual people on their team - Verifiably eligible individuals are people that can be verified by a social identity e.g. Twitter direct message
2. Have a product/service in the proposal that would be created or expanded upon that would benefit an existing DAO
3. The DAO that you are providing a product/service for must have a live website
4. The DAO has to have both a Twitter and Discord

• Create a DAC to support the development of an existing DAO or application
• Launch a Podcast related to an existing DAO
• Create a proposal to educate Web2 developers on Web3 technologies for an existing DAO

The only change that may occur is if your qualified proposal is approved for a grant by the community, then your pending status will be expedited and you’ll be granted the ability to start your DAC and onboard members to the KORIS platform. 

The DAOtribution is sponsored and hosted by the MetisDAO Foundation, the MetisDAO Foundation will be using KORIS as a platform to post proposals and have users vote on the listed proposals.
