==== Create your compensation request issue ====
 
−
 
 
−
If you wish to request compensation for the current [[Glossary#DAO Cycle|cycle]], you should create a [[Submit_compensation_request|compensation request issue]] no later than '''one week prior''' to the end of the current cycle's proposal phase. This is in order to allow time for review by your [[Team Lead]]. Reminders about this deadline are sent every cycle to the [https://github.com/bisq-network/teams/dao @bisq-network/dao] team, so you should make sure you are watching discussions for that team.

WIP (Work in Progress) compensation requests may be submitted with a <code>[WIP]</code> prefix in the title, e.g. <code>[WIP] For Cycle 10</code>. Such WIP requests are assumed not to be ready for review until the WIP prefix is removed. This allows you a convenient way to incrementally add content to a compensation request throughout the course of a cycle without triggering a review prematurely. To indicate that a WIP compensation request is now ready for review, remove the <code>[WIP]</code> prefix from the compensation request issue and add a comment stating ''"This request is ready for review"''. Any compensation request submitted without a WIP prefix will be assumed to be ready for review.

==== Ensure your request is valid ====

To more efficiently evaluate issuance for budgeting, compensation requests are evaluated by a bot. This bot requires that compensation requests follow a particular format. This format is detailed in the placeholder text for new compensation request issues—just follow the guidelines there, and/or look at other requests if you're not sure about something.

In order to make sure the bot can actually read the request, requests are linted as soon as they are ready for review (i.e., as soon as <code>[WIP]</code> is removed from the issue title). A request is labeled <code>parsed:valid</code> if it's valid, <code>parsed:invalid</code> if it's not. If invalid, a comment is added indicating the error. Please watch for this label and fix any errors the linter finds.

== Contributor ==
  
−
When your team lead or other stakeholders review your compensation request, they will provide any feedback or requests for changes in the form of a comment on your request issue. Please respond to it promptly. When there is no further feedback, your team lead will add a comment asking you to submit this compensation request as a DAO proposal. The instructions how to do so are in the next section.

Contributors are welcome to create compensation requests for work they've done on the Bisq project. See instructions in [[Making_a_compensation_request|this guide]].

Exception: If your contribution proposal consists solely of Bonded Roles for the Ops Team, which are pre-approved in the Ops Budget and allocated to you, and you are still running those nodes as expected, then you can skip the Team Lead Review as per https://github.com/orgs/bisq-network/teams/ops/discussions/1

When a team lead is assigned to a compensation request issue, they should promptly review it with regard to whether the work meets the definition of delivered, and whether it fits within the team budget.

Compensation is an important element of the Bisq DAO that incentivizes people to contribute to the Bisq software and, consequently, enables them to take on a greater stake in its governance.

This article covers the several parties involved in the process of requesting, approving, issuing, and guiding compensation.

Compensation Maintainer

The compensation maintainer oversees the day-to-day process of compensation requests, triages issues, and determines rates. See the Compensation Maintainer article for more details on this role.

Contributor

Contributors are welcome to create compensation requests for work they've done on the Bisq project. See instructions in this guide.

If you'd like to contribute to Bisq but are unsure where to start, check out the contributor checklist.

Team Lead

Team leads do an initial review before voting to evaluate whether a compensation request is warranted, appropriate (e.g. whether the work meets the definition of delivered), and in line with team priorities and budget.

When a new compensation request is submitted, the assigned team lead should promptly review it, add feedback as a appropriate, and request changes as necessary.

When feedback has been addressed, the team lead will ask the contributor to submit their proposal to the DAO and post the resulting TXID in a comment.

Stakeholder

Just as stakeholders may review and vote on any DAO proposal, stakeholders may review and vote on any contributor's compensation request. After all, compensation requests are merely another type of DAO proposal.

No special permissions are needed—a stakeholder can simply add feedback in the form of a comment on a compensation request or an emoji reaction (thumbs-up, thumbs-down, confused face, etc).

There is no obligation for stakeholders to perform these reviews, but it's advised to only review compensation requests that you are knowledgeable about.
