Summary

This proposal requests an allocation of $120 (30%) from ~$400 in recently recovered funds that were successfully claimed and transferred to the Based DAO treasury.

Context

Unclaimed funds associated with a prior Zora mint were identified and brought to the attention of Goyabean, the original deployer of the contract.

At the time of discovery, Goyabean was not aware that these funds were claimable, and no prior action had been taken to recover them.

Without this intervention, the funds would have remained unclaimed indefinitely.

Execution & Result

I (Lifted Isaac):

Identified the existence of unclaimed funds

Validated the claim process

Coordinated with the original deployer

Executed the claim and transfer

As a result, approximately $400 was successfully recovered and sent to the DAO treasury.

Request

This proposal requests:

$120 (30% of recovered funds) to be allocated to me as a recovery fee

Rationale

The DAO received funds that were previously unknown and unclaimed

The recovery required discovery, validation, and execution

No DAO resources were spent to obtain these funds

The requested amount represents a standard incentive for identifying and recovering lost assets

Without this action, the treasury balance would be lower today https://basescan.org/tx/0xd7b5c928e225075f1b203f14038dd37165ec7d4cdb734ec824d7c9fefc434b48

Conclusion

This proposal recognizes value delivered to the DAO and establishes a precedent for incentivizing the identification and recovery of unclaimed or overlooked funds in the future.And as s a new member of the DAO (having recently joined by winning an auction), I am committed to contributing positively and helping identify opportunities that benefit the DAO.
