A web3 social network governed by the people for the people

Seers

This is the proposal for the NNS to create an SNS DAO to govern the [Seers dApp](https://seers.social/).
## Purpose
Seers is a Web3, [**fully on-chain social network**](https://seers.social/) built atop the groundbreaking technology of the Internet Computer.  Drawing inspiration from Twitter's intuitive design, Seers improves user interaction with exclusive crypto features like prediction markets.  This platform allows you to voice your thoughts and use cryptocurrencies to predict future events. But this is merely the beginning. We envision Seers evolving into a vibrant platform akin to Elon Musk's 'X',  with the potential to redefine global interactions and transactions.

## Seers' Accomplishments and Decentralised Future
- Over the past year, Seers conducted extensive product-market fit experiments, featuring 300 prediction markets and engaging 3,000 users. Additionally, our community has created over 10,000 posts, reflecting active participation.
- These efforts have resulted in a remarkable Total Value Locked (TVL) of \$20,000 in ICP and an estimated yearly revenue of \$25,000.
- Importantly, we have recently distributed part of the revenue to our users according to their contributions over the previous month, with some members earning up to \$100 per week.

While we consider these figures modest, we firmly believe that we will experience exponential growth as we continue to develop our roadmap and tap into the full potential of the Internet Computer's capabilities. Decentralization is crucial to ramp up liquidity and deploy more powerful features.
To steer the direction of Seers as a public good, the Seers DAO is being formed. People who hold ICX tokens can stake them as neurons to make and vote on proposals to change the platform.  The SNS DAO holds a treasury of ICX tokens and ICP that can be used to fund the platform's ongoing development and reward users for positive usage and growth.  By incentivizing users with ICX tokens and neurons, the platform hopes to create a team of advocates who will promote Seers and contribute to its long-term success.
For more information on the Seers Project and SNS please read the [whitepaper here](https://www.notion.so/Seers-Web3-Social-Network-25fa0f505b0141cabb5d7d68a11f572b).

## Proposed Token Distribution
Total token supply: 100 million ICX tokens.
Initially distributed:
- 16%: To be distributed by the NNS-run decentralization sale which includes the Neurons' Fund (NF).
- 15%: Allocated to the Seers founding team which vests over 4 years.
- 69%: Reserved for the SNS treasury and Seers Foundation.

Ledger transaction fee: 0.001 ICX tokens

## Governance
- Each decentralization sale participant (including the NF) will receive their tokens in a basket of 5 equal value ICX neurons with dissolve delays of 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 months respectively.
- The founding dev team will receive their tokens in a basket of 5 neurons. Each neuron will have a dissolve delay of 1 month. 

These neurons will be vested over a period of 48 months from the SNS Sale in equal proportions. The founders will not receive any tokens at the SNS sale event,  with all the tokens having a vesting period at that time.
The governance parameters for Seers are proposed to be initially set as:
- Min stake: 4 ICX tokens
- Min staking period for voting: 1 month
- Max staking period: 2 year
- Voting Rewards: 2.5% annually.
- Max staking bonus: 2x
- Max age for age bonus: 3 months
- Max age bonus: 1x

## Decentralization Sale
16% of the total supply of tokens is proposed to be distributed via an SNS decentralization sale.  If the proposal is adopted, the sale will start after the specified delay and is scheduled to conclude at the end of 14 days from the start of the sale.  If the maximum number of ICP configured below is raised before that date the sale will conclude earlier.
Sale participation parameters:
- Min participation: 1 ICP
- Max participation: 50,000 ICP
- Max to be raised: 150,000 ICP
- Min to be raised: 100,000 ICP
- From Community Fund: 60,000 ICP
- Min participants: 100

The sale is open to anyone. Participation is either via the launchpad in the NNS front end: https://nns.ic0.app/ or on the command line using [quill](https://wiki.internetcomputer.org/wiki/How-To:_SNS_swap_participation_via_quill).

## The dApp
The Seers dApp consists of a set of canister smart contracts.
Top-level canisters controlled by the Seers SNS root canister:
- 1 Frontend canister (oulla-fyaaa-aaaag-qa6fa-cai)
- 1 Backend canister (otknu-iaaaa-aaaag-qa6fq-cai)


All the details above can be verified, by examining the initialized Seers SNS canisters. [More detailed instructions are here](https://wiki.internetcomputer.org/wiki/How-to:_Verify_SNS_decentralization_swap_proposal).
