### Vision - MonkeDAO & SuperTeam inspired

The Dean's List DAO is committed to making every member feel valued and included, promoting a culture of engagement and growth that will drive sustained participation.

- Deposit your $DEAN tokens or even lock them for a multiplier to increase your governance power and receive awesome perks.

1. **Announcement and Marketing:** Launch a comprehensive marketing campaign to announce the ThailandDAO promotional event. Utilize social media, newsletters, and existing partnerships with sponsors. Use our reach post-IslandDAOx.

2. **Leaderboard Creation:** Develop a real-time leaderboard on the DL DAO platform showcasing members' governance power rankings.

3. **Exclusive Perks Example:**
- **Top 5 Members:** Airplane fares and accommodation covered for 12 days at the DL DAO Villa during ThailandDAO.
- **Top 50 Members:** Invitation to IRL events, parties, airdrops from partners, and other continuous perks.

4. **Governance Power Incentives:** Highlight the benefits of increasing governance power.

5. **Payment Option:** Introduce the option for DL DAO contributors to receive payments in $DEAN tokens at a 10% discount compared to the market price for three months.

6. **Feedback Review Session:** Our promotional campaign will start with a feedback review exclusive to IslandDAO attendees. Guests will be invited to give their feedback and collectively create a feedback report on IslandDAO and their experience in the co-working space. This will resemble the regular feedback reports the DL DAO produces for its clients. Contributors to the IslandDAO feedback report will be paid in $DEAN tokens.

### Financial Projections

**Estimated Costs:**

- Airplane Fares and Accommodation for Top 5 Members: $10,000

- IRL Events and Parties for Top 50 Members: $5,000

- Total Estimated Cost: $15,000

**Token Allocation:** Allocate 5-7 million $DEAN tokens for the initiative, although actual usage is expected to be significantly lower.

**Main Scenario:** Given the low circulating supply of the $DEAN token and the mechanics of locking tokens for multiple years to increase governance power and climb the leaderboard ranks, we project a significant increase in the Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) of DL DAO.

**Current FDV:** $123,263

**Target FDV:** Over $2,000,000

**FDV Growth Analysis:**

1. **Circulating Supply Reduction:** As members lock their $DEAN tokens to increase governance power and climb the leaderboard ranks, the circulating supply of the token will decrease significantly. This reduction in supply will create upward pressure on the token price.

2. **Demand Increase:** The exclusive perks offered, such as airplane tickets, accommodation at the DL DAO Villa, and invitations to IRL events, will incentivize members to increase their governance power, further driving demand for $DEAN tokens.

3. **Price Appreciation:** The combination of reduced supply and increased demand is expected to cause a substantial appreciation in the price of the $DEAN token. For instance, if the initial token price is $0.01 and it appreciates 15 times, the price will reach $0.15.

4. **FDV Calculation:** With a significant increase in token price, the FDV will grow proportionally. Assuming the total token supply remains constant, an increase from $0.01 to $0.15 per token will drive the FDV from $123,263 to over $2,000,000.

### Futarchy Proposal

**Proposal Conditions**

For this proposal to pass, it must result in a 3% increase in the Time Weighted Average Price (TWAP) of The Dean's List DAO's Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV). The trading period for this proposal will be 3 days.

**Estimating FDV Increase per Participant**

- Current FDV: $123,263

- Required Increase (3%): $3,698

- Estimated Number of Participants: 50 (top governance power members)

- Average Increase per Participant: $3,698 / 50 = $73.95

Given the potential activities and promotions participants can engage in, this target is achievable. The required 3% increase in FDV is small compared to the projected FDV increase from the promotional event, which aims for an FDV of over $2,000,000.

**Impact on Token Value**

Given the limited liquidity and the prompt for members to lock tokens, the token's value is expected to appreciate significantly. The reduced circulating supply, coupled with increased demand, is projected to cause a more than 15-fold increase in token price over the campaign period. This significant appreciation will attract further interest and investment, creating a positive feedback loop that enhances the overall value of the DL DAO ecosystem.

#### Budget and Expenses

- The estimated cost of $15,000 for the campaign will be covered by liquidating a fraction of $DEAN tokens as their price appreciates.

- As the token value increases, the DL DAO treasury will be able to finance its initiatives without compromising its financial stability.

#### Conclusion

This proposal to create a promotional event at ThailandDAO, incentivizing governance participation, is a strategic move to boost the Dean's List DAO ecosystem. By leveraging the popularity of ThailandDAO and offering significant perks to top governance power holders, we anticipate substantial engagement and value increase, benefiting the entire ecosystem and ensuring sustainable growth for the DL DAO community.
