Merkle Drop Dapp Requirements

[META-DREAMER]

Overview

A simple dapp to curate and publish "token distributions" from various projects / communities. Allow anyone to see the curated list of token distributions and permissionlessly merkle drop any tokens to the same recipients proportionally.

MVP requirements

• As a curator I should be able to upload a CSV file containing eth addresses and token amounts in order to generate a merkle root

• As I curator I should be able to assign / label these merkle roots with the community / project they are from

• As a curator I should be able to publish this merkle root on chain so it can be used by others to airdrop tokens to the same people

• As a curator I should be able to update the merkle root for a given community project with new token distributions (e.g. for communities doing new distro's every month to contributors)

• As a whale I should be able to see the curated list of merkle drops so I can decide where to allocate my tokens

• As a whale I should be able to merkle-drop any amount of any token to any of the published merkle roots

• As a recipient I should be able to see all the merkle drops I have received tokens from so I can have one place to find them all

• As a recipient I should be able to claim the all tokens from a merkle drop in a single transaction

Notes

A good place to store / manage the merkle root data would be Ceramic. It allows for the files to be version controlled and verifiable so that there's a version history of the merkle roots as they changed and there's a cryptographic proof that the allocation was correct / signed by the community multisig/dao/etc. (e.g. gitcoin.eth publishing the distribution data on all the GTC recipients).

The suuuuper MVP version could even be without any of the contracts, just a place to upload and share token distributions.

We can target any DAOs using Coordinape and/or SourceCred and get all their regular distributions added into the list seamlessly.

Cool things we can do post-MVP:

• setup ENS addresses like merkle.metafam.eth where anyone can send any token to that address and have it automatically distributed to that community
• allow these lists to be composed so people can aggregate / curate the drops further. e.g. a "MetaCartel Ecosystem" list that is composed of the merkle drops of all MC related
• or for communities that are doing new distributions every month, letting people distribute tokens to many or all of the previous months instead of just the current one
• Dogfood it by getting some of the DAOs we are in to do "token swaps" between eachother by distributing their native tokens to the other DAOs recipients.
