We've refined it based on Polkadot community feedback and open discussions, outlining Polkadot's benefits and adjusting the budget. Thanks for your input; we're excited about making this happen!
Why is this beneficial and a worthy investment for Polkadot?
The Sónar+D DAO, built on Moonbeam, will initially distribute membership NFTs to Sónar+D ticket holders, festival attendees, and the wider Polkadot community. Initial exclusive incentives include an NFT collection designed by renowned Sónar artists and a giveaway for a chance to win tickets for Sónar 2025.
DAO governance will allow members to shape the festival experience, from proposing artists for the Sónar Complex stage, accessing exclusive events and meet & greets, to participating in crucial decisions, such as determining the winner of the Sónar+D open call. As well as a rewards program based on governance actions and contributions, it will also include ticket giveaways and perks exclusive to the DAO community.
In addition, the proposed budget includes provisions for covering operational and management costs for a mínimum of 3 years (2024, 2025, 2026), enhancing the project's capacity to deliver added value to the Polkadot community.

The Sónar+D DAO by Polkadot is our ticket to a future where Polkadot shines as a go-to hub for crypto and consumer applications. As we gear up for the next bull run, the Sónar+D DAO encourages developers, founders, and artists to build on Polkadot and its parachains.

Threshold
Hello @GUZZU,
I'm a fan of electronic music and have attended Sónar Istanbul in the past. Sónar is one of the most important electronic music festivals, and it would be very exciting to see development related to Sónar on Polkadot. Music business is notoriously inefficient, I know it first-hand as a once-full-time producer and musician, and web3 could play a crucial role in improving the industry. So, I find your proposal very exciting and relevant.
Yet, I think you should restructure your proposal in milestones instead of asking for a lump sum for 3 years of activity. Your first proposal's outcome and the outlook of this one show that you need to build up trust.
Start with smaller milestones, and work with both Sónar and Polkadot communities to develop and demonstrate smaller sections of your idea. This way, you can prove to the community that you're able to deliver on smaller budgets, and build trust up from there.
I'm voting against this proposal, but looking forward to a more efficient proposal that works in much smaller initial milestones. Most of us build for free when we start out, just out of necessity or curiosity or for the love of it. Community is going to support you if you earn trust first.
Best regards,
