1Hive Ops Swarm

Create the 1hive Operational Swarm

Summary

This proposal seeks approval from the 1Hive community to form the 1hive Ops Swarm for a trial period of three months. The swarm will focus on handling essential day-to-day management tasks, including organization, creating processes, and managing treasury-related responsibilities. This initiative is designed to address gaps in 1Hive’s operational needs through a collaborative, community-driven effort.

Motivation

1Hive thrives on community-driven governance, but key operational tasks—like organizing workflows, documenting treasury activities, and implementing processes for payments—require consistent attention and ownership.

By forming a swarm dedicated to these responsibilities, we can ensure that these critical needs are met efficiently, setting a strong foundation for long-term sustainability. This proposal represents a bottom-up initiative to empower contributors to collaboratively address these challenges and enhance our ecosystem’s effectiveness.

Team

The Management Swarm will start with the following team members:

  • Paul
  • Zer8
  • Rohek
  • Mati

These team members will collaborate to tackle the day-to-day management tasks and ensure that the initial processes are put in place to support the community’s ongoing needs.

Trial Period and Work Commitment

The trial period will last for three months, with the swarm collectively providing 50–60 hours of work per month. This will allow us to experiment and refine our processes, ensuring we optimize our approach to management.

At the end of each month, we will provide an updated progress report to the community, including an evaluation of what worked, what needs improvement, and any recommendations for adjustments in the following month. Additionally, we will be requesting funding for the following month’s activities to maintain momentum and ensure the continuity of the swarm’s work.

Funds Request

We are requesting 195 HNY for the first month, equivalent to $1,262 (at a redemption price of $6.47). The funding will be allocated as follows:

  • Swarm Compensation: Payment to swarm members for their hours work.
  • Resources and Tools: Supporting the swarm with necessary tools for task management and collaboration.
  • Buffer: Covering unforeseen operational expenses.

Request Details:

  • Current HNY Supply: 64,065 HNY
  • Redemption Price of HNY: $6.47
  • Council Safe Funds: $414,865

Implementation Plan

  1. Execution: Prioritize initial tasks, including:
    • Organizing workflows and processes for monitoring streaming proposals.
    • Creating treasury documentation for better transparency.
    • Developing efficient payment processes for streaming, swarm teams, and pocket expenses.
  2. Monthly Reporting: Share updates and outcomes with the community at the end of each month, including lessons learned and recommendations for next steps.
  3. Continuous Improvement: Based on the feedback from each month, refine and optimize our processes, ensuring that the swarm’s work becomes more efficient and impactful.

Why This Matters

The creation of the Operational Swarm addresses gaps in day-to-day operational needs, ensuring that critical processes are established and maintained. This initiative represents a collaborative, bottom-up approach to strengthen 1Hive’s governance and operational efficiency.

By supporting this proposal, we can collectively improve the organization and management of our ecosystem, laying the groundwork for more effective collaboration and sustainable growth. The trial period will provide us with valuable insights and allow for adjustments, ensuring that we can optimize this process over time.
