Abstract

• Proposing Value Alignment Program for grantees to be aligned long-term with the Safe ecosystem

• Creates mutually beneficial long-term relationships between SafeDAO and smart account modules

Proposal details

Purpose and Background

VAP aims to turn short-term grants to long-term relationships with smart account module builders, to extend the long-term functionality of the Safe Protocol.

Synergistic components:

• Fee Engine
• Module Registry
• Grants Program

Value Alignment Program (VAP)

VAP augments the current Safe Grants Program, allowing grants applicants the option to pledge a portion of their future native tokens or on-chain fees to the SafeDAO Ecosystem Contribution pool.

If accepted to both the Grants Program and the VAP, projects benefit from:

• The grant itself
