Synopsis
State what the proposal does in one sentence.
Payout Juicebox v3 Project ‘CogniDAO’ for bookkeeping/governance operations and product development previously done by Gulan in a recurring payout.
Motivation
What problem does this solve? Why now?
gulan has present the DAO with 3 proposal to reengage gulan in a reoccurring payout proposal. This proposal aims to reduce the asks of the DAO into something more agreeable. JBP-269 → FC#32: Notion -
JBP-290 → FC#35: Notion -
JBP-296 → FC#36: Notion -
Gulan has served in a bookkeeping role for the DAO going back nearly 12 months. Over that time Gulan has been the primary responsible party for the below tasks:
Proposal Reviews Funding cycle configuration Gas Reimbursements Subscription Reimbursements Bookkeeping records
— Bookkeeping upkeep
- Translate all proposals into a machine readable table
- Keep a running tracker of all transactions by juicebox and their related proposals
- Track all compensation payouts and determine status’s
- Track juicebox’s infrastructure receipts and reimburse payee’s
Since I took over the role, I have always believed that the bookkeeping/governance process should be automated to the fullest extent possible. I have always stored proposals in a future machine readable format while I researched what is the best way to automate the tasks. This records going up to FC#34 can be found here.
Accounting tool
Over the past 10+ cycles, I have automated my flow to the fullest extent possible while working in with the constrains of a private AWS RDS database, Parabola.io back end and Retool.com front end.
All data for all cycles currently known to gulan can be found using this retool app (if you notice anything wrong, please let me know).
The app’s data is stored in a private RDS database. It is my hope that this data is to be migrated to a public source be working with @jigglyjams in the coming weeks, making this data more transparent and accessible than ever. The database is currently in the below schema:

CogniDAO
CogniDAO was envisioned to create a scalable and self-sustaining fiat payment processor for juicebox and its related projects. The above Retool tool automatically syncs with CogniDAO’s banking partner and allows for transactions to be easily addable to the juicebox configuration flow.
The overall goal is for CogniDAO to be a self sustaining juicebox project. The project aims to provide 2 solutions;
- Pay fiat expenses as an agency on behalf of the DAO
- Provide a legal vendor for VAT based contributors
The current contribution in the specification can be thought of as funding this projects research and development with the end goal for the project to become self-sustaining.
