Here’s the current 1Hive Community Covenant: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmfWppqC55Xc7PU48vei2XvVAuH76z2rNFF7JMUhjVM5xV
This is the on-chain document everyone signs when they create or challenge a proposal at 1Hive. When a proposal is challenged, a randomly selected jury of Celeste stakers are chosen and tasked with deciding if there was a violation of the Covenant. If they vote to block the proposal no funds are released.
As it is, the document does a pretty good job of laying out 1Hive’s high level purpose and listing actions within the DAO that are OK or not OK, but it doesn’t do a good job at describing the types of proposals that are unacceptable. This is probably the most important part of the Covenant since this is what jurors are looking at when deciding to block a proposal.
This is coming up now since there’s an active Celeste dispute that is quite subjective:

I think we should add a section to the Covenant that outlines the types of proposals that should be blocked. Here’s a start that we can work from:
## Acceptable Proposals
Proposals in 1Hive should further the collective interests of the community and create shared wealth within the community and give 1Hive resources to create value beyond our community as well.
The following are unacceptable for any type of proposal and should be rejected by keepers in Celeste if disputed:
- Fraud. Any proposal that misrepresents the scope of the proposal, the funding recipients, the planned use of funds, the skills and experience of the proposers, or any other piece of the information provided in the proposal.
- Unethical Vote Campaigning. Promoting the support of a proposal, abstaining from a proposal, or challenging of a proposal through bribery, quid pro quo, slander, misdirection, misinformation, or any other means not directly related to the merits of the proposal and the value/harm it can bring to the community.
- Vote Manipulation. Working around the technical and social structures that exist for the fair passage of proposals with the intent of making it more or less likely for a proposal to pass. For instance, not giving reasonable notice to the community of a pending/active proposal through our communication channels, submitting many proposals at once to obfuscate proposals, gaming conviction voting parameters, or any other subversive measure.
Based on the ongoing conversations with the current dispute, here’s another bullet to add if we agree on banning proposal splitting at 1Hive:
- Proposal Splitting. Creating multiple funding proposals for the same funding event to make it easier for the fundings proposals to pass with less community support.
The more specific we can be with the types of proposals that aren’t allowed, the easier life will be for Proposal creators, voters, challengers, and disputers.
Let’s make life easy! #PamperTheBees
