So, Let’s get started!

Note: Only after whitelisting, you will have the opportunity to purchase DRIFE COUNCIL NFTs from the private sale before they are made available to the general public.

The DRIFE DAO Framework!

DRIFE NFT is an integral part of the DRIFE DAO Framework. To know more about DRIFE DAO, read here.

Why NFT for Council?

We believe that there is a need for an NFT to exist in the ecosystem. NFTs enhance the concept of digital collectables by providing holders with real-world rewards and other privileges linked to ownership, leading to both economic and non-economic values. Meanwhile, with Fungible tokens like DRF, there is no way or form to prove unique ownership and their value keeps changing.

Purpose of Council Collection

The purpose of launching an NFT collection is to make sure that we do a fair launch and allow everybody in the community to apply to become a council member.

  • This starts with a whitelisting process where you tell us why you should be holding the DRIFE Council NFT.
  • After getting shortlisted, you become eligible to buy the Council NFT before the general public.
  • The NFTs will be used to power the DRIFE DAO, which will be responsible for managing the DRIFE ecosystem. To ensure that the DRIFE community has a say in the management of the protocol.

Note : DRIFE Council NFT has a very separate utility and significance for the growth of DRIFE ecosystem, including DAO.

DRF token holders are eligible for voting, staking, and presenting proposals which will be a part of the Mother DAO.

A deep dive into the DRIFE Council

“We believe in the power of the community”

That’s why we’ve created the DRIFE Council, a community of 200 NFT holders called Council Members. The Council is designed to offer a wide range of perspectives on the DRIFE platform and the NFT industry as a whole. As Council Members, you’ll have the opportunity to shape the future of the DRIFE platform and the NFT industry.

The DRIFE Council is created to ensure that every user takes an active role in decision-making activities and determines policies for the community’s future through transparent and distributed decision-making.

This Council enables the DRIFE community to have a say in the management of the protocol and make sure that the DRIFE management team is not taking all the decisions. For example, — any proposal submitted will need to be approved by Council members and then only will be available for voting, ensuring every proposal gets a fair chance before the Council.

The Council is responsible for vetting every franchise application that is submitted, and for making sure that only the best franchises are chosen. Furthermore, the Council will work on minimum staking requirements for every franchise and on other franchise onboarding procedures. The Council has access to the DRIFE Treasury funds and can use these funds to help finance various initiatives within the DRIFE ecosystem.

Finally, the DRIFE Council has the following abilities:

1. To set the strategic direction of the DRIFE ecosystem

2. To allocate resources to achieve the ecosystem’s objectives

3. To oversee the operation of the DRIFE ecosystem

4. To advise and guidance to the DRIFE community

5. To represent the DRIFE community in interactions with external stakeholders

6. To overlook the DAO governance and work on reforms

The most important role and responsibility of the Council members are to act in an unbiased manner for the growth of the DRIFE ecosystem, and it starts with every proposal that comes up for voting in the DRIFE ecosystem. The proposals will be first scrutinized by the Council members, and only after their approval, will they be put to a vote by the DRIFE community members, where every community member who holds DRF will be eligible to vote, and accordingly, the proposal gets passed.

  • Every Council member will on the first eligible to become a chairperson to run the whole council in the most effective and efficient way possible.
  • Every Council member gets a vote, which they can use to vote for themselves or for other Council members in order to get elected as a chairperson or for other posts that will exist in the Council.
  • To make sure that the best candidate gets the DRIFE franchise, every application that DRIFE receives will go through the initial vetting process, where Council members will look over the proposal and accordingly move the franchise candidate to the next level, where the DRIFE community and DAO will vote.
