So, let’s see what we can fix over here…
Acquiring Rare Pizza NFTs for GreenPill Network Events
Funding Requested: 0.2392 ETH for 5 Rare Pizza NFTs (2 OG + 3 OpenSea) + gas fees
Category: Community Engagement & Partnerships
Purpose
- Strengthen Partnership with PizzaDAO: Deepen collaboration with PizzaDAO, aligning with GreenPill’s mission of fostering community-driven initiatives
- Support Chapter Events: Enable 5 GreenPill chapters to become PizzaDAO members and fund pizza-focused IRL meetups (potentially 8 chapters if the deal for free boxes with Snax will go through)
- Engage Chapters: Distribute NFTs to active chapters to maximize community impact
Background
PizzaDAO has been a partner since GreenPill Nigeria’s early days. They host the annual Global Pizza Party on May 22 (Bitcoin Pizza Day) with 20,000+ attendees across 400+ cities. Rare Pizza NFTs grant PizzaDAO membership, allowing holders to propose and fund pizza events - perfect for enhancing our chapter activities.
What We’re Proposing
Purchase 5 Rare Pizza NFTs through a combination of:
- Minting new NFTs (0.08 ETH each) to support PizzaDAO treasury
- Secondary market purchases (0.0264 ETH each) for cost efficiency
- Potential donations from PizzaDAO (Snax mentioned they might provide some NFTs to mission-aligned partners)
This will enable chapters to:
- Gain PizzaDAO membership for funding IRL pizza meetups
- Host multiple pizza parties per NFT
- Enhance events with pizza (universal crowd-pleaser!)
- Strengthen our partnership with potential co-branded events
- Enable chapters to engage with the broader PizzaDAO community
Community Feedback Integration
Based on initial discussions, here are the key considerations:
Distribution Scale: Moving from 5 NFTs to reach more chapters and create broader impact.
Distribution Method Options:
- Gardens signaling pool for community voting
- Monthly distribution tied to GreenPill dNFT activity across chapters
- Priority for chapters who hosted Pizza Parties this year
- Open call to gauge chapter interest and capacity
Selection Criteria (Future-Focused):
- Present/future activity over past performance
- Active planning for growth and events
- Engagement with regenerative initiatives
- Updated Karma GAP profiles
Application Process (via Charmverse): Simple proposal including:
- Number of pizza parties planned
- Timeline for events
- GreenPill-specific focus areas (checkboxes)
- Expected attendance
- Social media profiles for proof/follow-up
- History with PizzaDAO participation (if any)
- Plans for community engagement
Funding Model:
- Network covers 80-90% of costs
- Chapters contribute 10-20% from their treasury
- Ensures chapter commitment while reducing barriers
Expected Impact
- Community Engagement: 5 (or 8) chapters equipped with NFTs, potentially enabling 10-20 meetups reaching 300-700 attendees
- Partnership Growth: Stronger ties with PizzaDAO for future collaborations
- Chapter Empowerment: Give active chapters new tools for community building
- Network Seeding: Provide support for emerging chapters before formal funding systems
Success Metrics
- Event engagement metrics (on and off-chain)
- GreenPill member growth
- Social proof (images, videos, YouTube views)
- Chapter activity growth
Two Potential Pathways
- Contest-based approach: Competitive selection with clear criteria
- Proposal-based approach: Open applications with community review
- Hybrid approach: Combination of both methods
Timeline: After working groups/councils are established, the responsible group will set priorities and timeline.
Execution: Working group to handle purchase and distribution logistics, including:
- Whether chapters purchase directly (for onchain history) then receive reimbursement
- Mix of minting vs. secondary market purchases
- Coordination with PizzaDAO for potential donated NFTs
