Create your compensation request issue

If you wish to request compensation for the current cycle, you should create a 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 @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 [WIP] prefix in the title, e.g. [WIP] For Cycle 10. 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 [WIP] 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.

Incorporate review feedback for your request

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.

Submit your request as a DAO proposal

Follow the instructions on how to file your compensation request as a DAO proposal. When complete, add a comment to your proposal issue that includes the transaction ID of your proposal.

Stakeholder

Review contributor requests

Remember that just as stakeholders may vote on any DAO proposal, stakeholders may review any contributor's compensation request. To do so, simply add your review feedback in the form of a comment, and react to the compensation request issue with a thumbs-up, thumbs-down or confused face emoji as appropriate. Note that with the exception of team leads, there is no obligation to perform these reviews, and in general you should only review compensation requests that you are knowledgeable about.
