hey @Aishwary92 , thanks for surfacing that the scope isn’t well defined and will try to do that here!

> a) The scope of the dApp and what’s its trying to achieve which the current website can’t.

The current website ([governance.0xProtocol.org](http://governance.0xProtocol.org)) provides an interface for the current governance system - for the treasury, it reads/writes to `zrxTreasury` contract found here: [0x0bb1810061c2f5b2088054ee184e6c79e1591101](https://etherscan.io/address/0x0bb1810061c2f5b2088054ee184e6c79e1591101), and for the protocol, it hosts an off-chain vote.

The RFC is for a team to design, develop, and maintain an dApp for the recently developed and deployed governance smart contracts (github repo [here](https://github.com/0xProject/protocol/tree/development/contracts/governance)). In short, the main goal in developing these new contracts is to migrate 0x Protocol to fully on-chain governance and treasury to the same system. The scope as described in the post is what I believe to be the minimum set of functionalities the dApp must have to be suitable as a governance portal.

> b) To scope out the type of partnership (as in if its a one time development cost or it will be a retainer that the DAO will have to hire).

I expect there two be two costs that would be included in any proposal: one time development cost and an ongoing hosting/maintenance cost. I’m not a dev so I may be wrong in this but I don’t think there’s a way for there to not be the ongoing hosting/maintenance cost but I did include that decentralized/open source hosting service as a desirable (but not mandatory) requirement.

> c) From where the funds would be used in the treasury.

I’d propose that the funds would come from part of the original $1M ZRX that was used to seed the treasury as described in this 0x DAO intro post ([Introducing the 0x DAO](https://forum.0xprotocol.org/t/introducing-the-0x-dao/731))

> d) How much is the budget that is required for such development.

My original proposed process is for the teams to dictate what their required budget would be rather than defining a budget up-front. That being said, curious what you think would be an appropriate budget to assign to an ask like this.
