Vanilla is Still Spicy When it Comes to Minions
General Overview for the Vanilla Minion. It's the basic version of your DAO's own little assistant.
Moloch DAOs are designed to slay Moloch, the god of coordination of failure. To do this well, Moloch DAOs have intentionally minimal capabilities: they can accept members, store shared funds, and process votes on which new members to accept and how to spend those funds; and that's about it. In order to expand on those capabilities, you need a Minion!
What is a Minion?
First thing first, in the tiniest of nutshells a minion allows for submitted proposals to interact with other smart contracts.
A Minion is an assistant. Almost think of a Minion as a Wordpress plugin. It extends the capabilities of that DAO. Just like a plugin on a website, you can develop that Minion to perform any feasible action that would benefit the DAO. Without the assistance of the Minion, extended capabilities of the DAO are severely limited.
Where to Begin?
Begin with the Vanilla Minion, without the Vanilla Minion’s functionality, the extended capabilities offered by other Minions are not accessible.
Use the Vanilla Minion, withdraw funds, do something with those funds, cancel proposals and a few other items. Once the Vanilla Minion is in place, then you can do things like hold assets that the DAO can't hold (like NFTs). If you're a member of a moloch DAO, a minion gives you and your DAO access to the full richness of the Ethereum ecosystem and any smart contracts within the domain! Which means your DAO can use any DeFi protocol, mint tokens, or interact with any other DAOs, just to name a few!
Coming soon.
The new user friendly GUI for the Vanilla Minion will be shared soon. Sit tight as we improve the user experience, so you don’t have to crawl through a bowl of technical spaghetti to get from point A to point B!
Also, sign up and you’ll know when it drops before everyone else.
