Disclaimer: Participation in any SNS is at your own risk.
There are many ways members can participate in an SNS DAO, both on-chain and off-chain. Creating proposals requires coding skills. Some examples include:
- Vote on SNS proposals: You can vote on different types of proposals manually or follow other neurons that vote.
- Create upgrade proposals: Submit an upgrade proposal to update the code of the dapp that the SNS DAO controls. This allows anyone to contribute code to an SNS DAO.
- Upgrade the asset canister: Currently updates to asset canisters don't go through proposals. However, you can still make changes to the frontend by upgrading the asset canister controlled by an SNS DAO. To do so, you have to first create a proposal to add your principal ID to the list of controllers who can make updates.
- Create motion proposals: Motion proposals don't upgrade the code of the dapp, instead they steer the direction of the DAO in terms of new features and dapp development.
- Create SNS parameter update proposals: You can propose upgrades for many of the DAO's parameters such as maximum staking period, voting rewards and many more. See parameters.
- Content moderation: Many social media dapps may incorporate content moderation as they scale to millions of users. Moderators review and approve content based on the content policies of the DAO.
- UI / UX design work: Users can contribute not only by coding, but designing different aspects of the dapp.
- Off-chain marketing / inviting friends: Members of the DAO can be advocates of the dapp and promote it in different ways.
