Summary
This proposal seeks funding to establish the S&oacute;nar+D DAO by Polkadot, potentially becoming the first DAO for a premier global music festival with an annual attendance of over +120k and a digital community of +500k.
More info about <a href="https://sonar.es/en">S&oacute;nar</a> and <a href="https://sonar.es/en/programme/sonar-d">S&oacute;nar+D</a>
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!
&nbsp;
Why is this beneficial and a worthy investment for Polkadot?
<ul>
<li>Development of an open-source DAO frontend&mdash;a public good available to the broader Polkadot community and serving as a model for future builds.</li>
<li>Impact on $DOT valuation - thanks to S&oacute;nar&rsquo;s brand affiliation, reputation, and a strategic marketing campaign.</li>
<li>Exclusive Polkadot space and VIP event at S&oacute;nar Festival 2024, enabling ecosystem ambassadors to onboard new users onsite.</li>
</ul>

&nbsp;

The S&oacute;nar+D DAO, built on Moonbeam, will initially distribute membership NFTs to S&oacute;nar+D ticket holders, festival attendees, and the wider Polkadot community. Initial exclusive incentives include an NFT collection designed by renowned S&oacute;nar artists and a giveaway for a chance to win tickets for S&oacute;nar 2025.
DAO governance will allow members to shape the festival experience, from proposing artists for the S&oacute;nar Complex stage, accessing exclusive events and meet &amp; greets, to participating in crucial decisions, such as determining the winner of the S&oacute;nar+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 m&iacute;nimum of 3 years (2024, 2025, 2026), enhancing the project's capacity to deliver added value to the Polkadot community.

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!
&nbsp;
Why is this beneficial and a worthy investment for Polkadot?
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Development of an open-source DAO frontend&mdash;a public good available to the broader Polkadot community and serving as a model for future builds.
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Impact on $DOT valuation - thanks to S&oacute;nar&rsquo;s brand affiliation, reputation, and a strategic marketing campaign.

<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Exclusive Polkadot space and VIP event at S&oacute;nar Festival 2024, enabling ecosystem ambassadors to onboard new users onsite. 
</li>
</ul>
The S&oacute;nar+D DAO, built on Moonbeam, will initially distribute membership NFTs to S&oacute;nar+D ticket holders, festival attendees, and the wider Polkadot community. Initial exclusive incentives include an NFT collection designed by renowned S&oacute;nar artists and a giveaway for a chance to win tickets for S&oacute;nar 2025.
DAO governance will allow members to shape the festival experience, from proposing artists for the S&oacute;nar Complex stage, accessing exclusive events and meet &amp; greets, to participating in crucial decisions, such as determining the winner of the S&oacute;nar+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 m&iacute;nimum of 3 years (2024, 2025, 2026), enhancing the project's capacity to deliver added value to the Polkadot community.
