Request for Proposals (RFP): Educational Marketing Initiatives for Shutter DAO 0x36

Background As decentralized technologies evolve, it’s crucial to emphasize the significance of accessibility for both developers and end users. However, the conventional approaches to marketing, such as public relations (PR) and token shilling, need to be more sustainable for DAOs like Shutter DAO 0x36.

Create an RFP for a Dev House on Retainer

Proposal I propose that Shutter DAO 0x36 create an RFP for a dev house on retainer as defined below. After having spoken to a bunch of brainbot people over the last couple of weeks, I have realized that it could be helpful for the DAO to off-load some of the devs focusing on Shutter core development. So this proposal should help with this by outsourcing some of the lower hanging fruits as to not distract the core devs of Shutter too much. I also gives people / entities interested in contributing…
