RFC - Working Group Coordination Infrastructure for Radix

TLDR: I’ve built and deployed open-source coordination tooling for Radix — task marketplace with on-chain escrow, badge-gated working groups, trust scoring, and a 14-page dashboard. Proposing to connect this to the community’s governance framework and maintain it full-time.

The Gap

The community is standing up governance structures — the RAC is elected, MIDAO legal is progressing, Daffy has published a WG framework, Phil has proposed a Strategic Council. These define who decides, what the rules are, and how groups are organised.

What’s missing is where the work happens. DAOs typically stitch together 5-7 tools (Snapshot, Safe, Dework, Discord, Notion). Each has its own login, its own data, and none know about Radix.

What’s Already Built (verify it yourself)

Component Verify
Badge Manager (Scrypto v4) On-chain
TaskEscrow (Scrypto v2) On-chain
Dashboard (14 pages) radixguild.com
Telegram Bot (37 commands) @rad_gov
REST API (34 endpoints) /api/health
Source code GitHub (MIT)

Plus: trust scoring (Bronze/Silver/Gold), gateway event watcher, PR merge auto-verification, 75 automated tests, 5 working groups with badge-gated membership. All self-funded.

What I’m Proposing

Connect this infrastructure to the community’s governance framework. Specifically:

Working Group Operations — scoped task boards per group, role system (lead/steward/member), budget tracking, monthly structured reporting, charter lifecycle management

Dashboard Write Operations — vote and create proposals from the web (not just TG), fund tasks with one-click wallet TX (fund button already built)

Multi-Token Escrow — accept xUSDC + xUSDT alongside XRD so task rewards hold stable value

Conviction Voting — on-chain Scrypto component, time-weighted voting that’s anti-sybil by design

How This Fits

Initiative Relationship
Daffy’s WG Framework This implements the tooling that makes those rules operational
Phil’s Strategic Council Council leads would use this infrastructure to coordinate
RAC WG reports flow through structured templates
MIDAO Legal entity needs operational infrastructure
CV2 Already integrated — dashboard displays CV2 proposals

Complementary to all of the above, competitive with none.

WIP Open to ideas - feedback collaboration - guidance - community player.

Cost

Free for now while the community evaluates. Proposing a trial arrangement — $4000 USD/month hybrid ($2400 base + $1600 milestone bonuses) subject to RAC approval or community crowdfunding and negotiation. Funding allows me focus full-time on Radix (40 weeks pa). The scope is TBC.

All code stays MIT licensed. All infrastructure is transferable. If I don’t deliver — stop paying, fork the code, everything is open source.

Track Record

  • 5 years holding XRD

  • 2 Scrypto components on mainnet

  • First on-chain escrow service on Radix

  • First task marketplace on Radix

  • 75 automated tests, 0 failures

  • All self-funded, all open source

Open Questions

I’d welcome feedback on:

  • Priority — which deliverables matter most?

  • Working group alignment — should this be submitted under Daffy’s framework as the first chartered WG?

  • Reporting — who should monthly reports go to? RAC? Forum? Both?

  • Budget — is the hybrid structure clear? Should milestones be defined differently?

Full proposal with detailed deliverables and timeline: RFC-001 on GitHub


Built by operators, for operators. The code is the proposal.


Just MHO, it’s a cool proposal, but not essential now and too expensive at first glance (not a good cost/benefit for the DAO).

Thanks for the feedback - it is a loose proposal - I see nothing like it yet - and of course it needs refinement and more information for everyone - it is a start.

I have my hand up for governance or tech roles in general and obviously cost benefit needs to be honed to suit both parties before agreement. Perhaps you’re correct governance manager isn’t necessary right now. Perhaps I am correct and workgroups (governance included) will be the key to radix moving forward and need careful management to co-ordinate at scale.

As far as I am aware we have no idea how many people the DAO will employ - it will probably need a few is my guess - at what $rate we have no idea - what and how the community will instruct the DAO is all in the air. So lets keep open mind for scope of work and rates. Or better yet start think what roles would be needed and what rates might be appropriate so we can temp check/vote on it?
