It’s that time again!
We’re distributing another round of rGIV tokens for regular contributors.
You can acces the rGIV DAO on Optimism here: https://optimism.aragon.blossom.software/#/rgiv/ 
*If you’re having issues loading the DAO, please be patient, it is slow and I apologize. However if it is really stuck and not loading at all please DM me!
For this round, each current contributor will be requesting to mint up to 377 nrGIV tokens. If you’re not sure of your eligibility, please refer to this excerpt from our Governance Process:
rGIV Token Holder
This is a form of executive council held for trusted Giveth contributors. rDAO members hold rGIV and use an Aragon DAO deployment to create and vote on proposals using simple Yes/No voting mechanics. Anyone can make a proposal, but only rGIV holders can vote. Proposals will remain open for voting for 5 days and must adhere to the Quorum and Support Required percentages or else it will fail. **In order to get rGIV you must be a regular contributor to Giveth for at least 3 months.
This means if you were already an active contributor as of October 1st, 2023 
then you could be eligible for rGIV. To clarify, we can usually refer to praise data on our Discord and role proposals to identify regular contributors. 
Our DAO doesn’t allow users without rGIV tokens to make votes. If this is your first time asking for rGIV you’ll need to ask a current token holder to make a request for you on your behalf! 
rGIV minting requests for this quarter will no longer be accepted 1 month from the first proposal going up for this round.
If you’re not sure of your eligibility please ask before creating a DAO vote - for reference here is a spreadsheet of past recipients:
Entries marked eligible meant the contributor was eligible but didn’t ask for tokens in the eligibility window, contributors cannot retroactively claim rGIV.
To request tokens you’ll need to do so from the DAO’s Tokens App:
Watch this loom video for a tutorial on how to create a rGIV token request on the DAO
Remember: 377 rGIV tokens for this round.
please any questions from current contributors please reach out either on this forum post, in the dao channel or to me via Discord.
Once you have made your vote requesting rGIV tokens add a link to your vote via a comment on this forum post! 
rGIV minting requests for this quarter will no longer be accepted 1 month from the first proposal going up for this round.
You will not be able to claim your tokens from this round or a previous round at a later period, don’t miss the boat. 
Should we add rGIV tokens to Snapshot? 
Reflecting on this latest distribution - we currently don’t use rGIV for anything!
It was used once upon a time for these things:
- Sending GIVback and $nice distributions on Gnosis Chain (Moved to GIVbacks DAO)
- Allocating vesting distributions (Done through multisig)
- Approving monthly compensation reimbursements in GIV (Gnosis nrGIV DAO broke)
A simple way to add some utility back to rGIV is to have it’s balance calculated along side GIV holdings for your voting power in the Giveth snapshot Snapshot
Given that rGIV tokens aren’t distributed in the same volume of GIV tokens we would also need to scale up it’s impact - I would suggest multiplying its voting power by a factor of at least 100 - 300x
That would mean if you hold 500 rGIV tokens you would have between 50k - 150k more voting power in snapshot.
Open for more debate on this one, WDYT?
Add rGIV to Snapshot?
- Yes! 100x its voting power
- Yes! 200x its voting power
- Yes! 300x its voting power
- Yes! but we should do something else
- No
- Abstain
