> In the case of SourceCred, as we build out the infrastructure for representing supernodes, I’d like us to go back through SourceCred’s history and create all of the missing initiatives and artifacts. It will be a lot of work, but it will leave us with a Cred instance that is more legible, more fair, and a much better foundation to build from as the community scales.

This would be a great way to simultaneously improve documentation and draft a light-paper.

Could totally set up a DAO to do this in an afternoon. PL buys DAI and puts it in the DAO’s vault. Cred is calculated off-chain and then manually minted to contributors via the DAO’s token manager app on weekly basis (@decentralion could do this as they already do this without a DAO). Key decisions could be voted on (or signaled) via cred weighted voting. The DAO could use the [redemptions](https://github.com/1Hive/redemptions-app/) or [fundraising](https://github.com/AragonBlack/fundraising) apps to allow cred to be exchanged for Grain. All this could happen within the DAO. Would take a few hours to setup.
