# Introduction & FAQs Lightweight curatorial tools for shared ownership and governance of NFTs. ![](/files/QJFYCYvduFeLp4inC0Zz) Seasons (SZNS) is a collective ownership protocol, allowing for users to collectively own and manage NFT assets. The platform offers lightweight DAO management of NFT baskets called “Collections” (previously referred to as Albums). For example, a user might launch a SZNS Collection to fractionalize an NFT into ERC20 tokens. While many platforms fractionalize NFTs today, Collections take this a step further by offering plug and play DAO tooling to collectively manage the collection of NFTs as a DAO, voting on proposals to sell the NFT, transfer the NFT, lend out the NFT, and more. Read below for more information about the protocol, application, and how to participate in the community! {% hint style="success" %} Join the [SZNS Discord](https://discord.gg/szns) ⚡️ {% endhint %} ### **How does the SZNS protocol work?** The SZNS protocol provides a plug and play governance system for anyone interested in creating an NFT DAO. Those interested in spawning a community to manage and develop NFT assets can do so by creating "Collections" on SZNS. A Collection (previously called "Albums") is effectively an NFT DAO on SZNS. The protocol is governed today by the SZNS multisig and will progressively decentralize to be managed by the SZNS protocol DAO. ![](/files/-MkePY5R_9rmCkjjS0Sn) ### **What is a Collection DAO?** A Collection is a primitive introduced by SZNS that refers to a collection of NFTs represented by ERC20 tokens with integrated governance tooling. Holders of the Collection's ERC20 tokens not only have fractional ownership of the NFTs, but can also participate in curatorial actions as a DAO. Collections enable community-driven curations, where the Collection token holders can work together as a DAO to give greater meaning to their fractional ownership, whether it means adding additional NFTs into an Collection, collectively deciding on a buyout or finding other ways to discover utility of their collectively owned assets. We believe fractionalization is a powerful democratizing tool. In the context of fine art, it can enable ownership of high-value assets that were previously reserved almost exclusively to the wealthy. Collections go a step further by giving fractional owners the ability to cooperate as a DAO and make their ownership more meaningful. [Read more about Collections here.](/core-components/collections) ### **Who can participate in SZNS?** SZNS is built for NFT experts, artists, and newbs in mind. There are many ways to get involved! Below are some different ways that creators, curators, and collectors can use SZNS. **NFT creators:** SZNS is an opportunity for NFT artists and creators to invest in their own works, access liquidity, and grow a community of supporters. Rather than individually selling NFTs, the artist/creator can create a SZNS Collection with a collection to fractionalize and access liquidity for his or her work, while being able to capture the upside of their works' growth. They can interact with their supporters who hold the Collection Tokens through governance. This is also a way for NFT artists to allow many people to access their works through the Collection Tokens for those who cannot afford to purchase an entire NFT. **NFT curators:** NFT curators who have noteworthy NFT collections can create a Collection of their NFTs to access liquidity and allow others to bet and grow with the curator. An NFT curator can demonstrate his or her collecting skills by continuing to collect appreciating NFTs into a Collection and giving fractional ownership to anyone in the world. **NFT collectors:** NFT collectors now have access to high-value NFTs through fractionalization, purchasing Collection Tokens that hold the NFTs they desire for ownership. Fractional ownership also becomes much more meaningful on SZNS, as these fractional token owners can participate in governance to perform various actions, such as contributing to the curation of that Collection by voting on which NFTs can be added. With SZNS, collectors are able to learn from the best curators in the game by joining their community token networks! ### Interested in launching an Collection DAO? If you're interested in launching an Collection with us, [please reach out to us by filling out the form here](https://forms.gle/4ysFDDrNRMabjFQDA). # Concepts ## Collective Ownership SZNS allows users to share ownership and governance over NFTs as a community. Whether with strangers or a group of friends, users can securely co-own and manage NFTs inside a SZNS Collection. ## Security NFTs are contained in smart contract wallets (called Collections) generated by the SZNS protocol’s smart contracts. Collections heavily leverage the Gnosis Safe as a core component to enable shared ownership and governance of the assets held inside the Collection. The assets (NFTs, ETH, etc.) within a Collection can only be moved, withdrawn, or used based on the governance voting of all Collection token owners. For example, if the Collection Tokenholders would like to list a certain NFT in the Collection for sale, they must vote on a Proposal to list the NFT to sell and the vote must pass the requirements set by the DAO specified by the Collection's Governance Rules, which can be found in the Collections Details page on SZNS UI or in the \[daorequirements] txt record of the Collection's ENS space in \[collection-name].szns.eth (for example: ) ***Each Collection is responsible for its own security and governance***. However, the SZNS protocol provides a way to aid Collection DAOs to defend against malicious proposals via its Arbitration System (link). # Brand Kit SZNS Logos, Colors, Gradients, and Typeface {% embed url="" %} For easy access to all brand assets, open and duplicate the Figma file {% endembed %} ## Downloads For quick access to brand assets, browse our [Brand Kit on Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11WawRYO5iDyyrT4RPoqyMRhjZPqRr0L7?usp=sharing). # Collections A Collection is a basket of NFTs managed by a governance token. The SZNS webapp gives users the ability to create a decentralized management system (DAO) for these NFTs in just a few steps. ## Collection Smart Contract Architecture [Read more about the inner workings of Collections here.](/smart-contracts/collection-daos) ## Collection Actions {% hint style="info" %} Read more about Collection lifecycle [here](/collection-governance/collection-lifecycle). {% endhint %} Collections launch from the SZNS Factory (The Factory is core to the SZNS product and offers all the tools needed to run a DAO out of the box — it launched the contracts that facilitate these tools) with similar parameters for each community. The Collection defines the framework to carryout relevant actions. The SZNS interface offers a number of [Standard Proposals](https://docs.szns.io/album-governance/standard-proposals) to intuitively offer common actions for NFT communities. Uncommon actions may also be constructed with [Arbitrary Proposal](https://docs.szns.io/album-governance/arbitrary-contract-calls) creation. At launch of a Collection, the Safesnap system is configured to only give access to proposal submissions for Collection token holders. ## Collection Voting Process
The SZNS Collection Factory provides an opinionated framework for all voting within Collections at deployment. This means that SZNS allows you to have an out-of-the-box governance process that defines the requirements for proposals to qualify as legitimate. Steps for this DAO Governance Process Module (essentially, a wrapper contract defining the governance system) include: 1.0 Collection Member Submits Proposal\ 2.0 Collection Members Vote (1 week)\ 3.0 Arbitration Period Begins (1 week)\ 4.0 Successful Bonds Execute Transaction On-Chain The process will take two weeks to complete with initial parameters. Below is a list of programatic and subjective parameters, all of which can be adjusted by Collection governance. ## Arbitration Details {% hint style="info" %} Learn more about Reality.eth [here](https://reality.eth.link/app/docs/html/dapp.html#using-the-reality-eth-dapp). {% endhint %} For proposals to execute transactions on-chain, they must pass a subjective verification process. This step requires a user to submit a "Bond" by staking ETH on Reality.eth. If the proposal passes the arbitration period uncontested, the user receives their initial stake in return. If the Bond is successfully contested, the contester receives the initial stake. This ensures the Collection community has an opportunity to stop a malicious proposal from executing transactions. ## Collection Governance Upgradability Governance parameters described above serve as sensible defaults built into Collection decision-making. The system is created for lightweight and flexible experimentation with upgradeability in mind. ### Approve Delinquent Bond Post-voting, a Bond is submitted on Reality.eth to verify and execute the transaction on-chain. While the SZNS DAO will assist in the submission of proposal verification to begin, the process can be administered by anyone. This method of on-chain execution relies on subjective human judgement to contest. If a Bond completes uncontested, the associated transactions will execute. ### Upgrade Governance Module A more official way to change governance for an Collection would be to take the following steps: 1. Deploy a new DAO Governance Process Module that has adjusted params and connect it to the Collection's Gnosis Safe 2. Update the Snapshot configuration to point to the new DAO Governance Process Module 3. Disable the old DAO Governance Process Module This process is much more labor intensive, but offers the most robust solution to updating the DAO Governance Process for a Collection. ### Migrate Collection Assets A third path to adjust the management system available for a specific Collection includes transferring the Collection assets to a new contract or address to be managed there. # sznsDAO The SZNS protocol will take a path of progressive decentralization to develop a governance pushed forward by the community of $SZNS token holders. ## **What does the sznsDAO govern?** While the sznsDAO will continue to evolve, initial governance includes decisions around the SZNS treasury, the Album Factory parameters, and Album voting arbitration. ### **Governance Arbitration** The sznsDAO provides an important role as backstop for a Collection DAO's governance decisions. If somehow an oracle verifies an inaccurate outcome, the sznsDAO can halt an action from being committed to chain. The sznsDAO can also be invoked by the community to pass a proposal quickly. ### **Treasury Management** The sznsDAO will be responsible for deciding how to use assets in the treasury to create value for the network. These decisions include managing Collection Tokens to support the community and broader network. ### **Album Factory** The Album Factory defines the sensible default parameters given to each Collection at launch. This determines the way communities vote to add new NFTs and members, or coordinate a Collection buyout using the SZNS governance stack. SZNS holders will be able to propose new default parameters for the factory as the protocol evolves. # Overview An overview of various SZNS Collection types
Users can create a SZNS Collection to support a variety of use-cases. The three types available today are: * [Fraction SZN](/collection-types/fractionszn) - fractionalize one or more NFTs into tokens that can be used to govern the collection * [DAO SZN](/collection-types/daoszn) - deploy a token-governed DAO quickly with no code * [Pool SZN (coming soon)](/collection-types/poolszn) - pool ETH together with friends or strangers to purchase grail NFTs and manage them together # Fraction SZN Fractionalize one or more NFTs into ERC20 governance tokens and collectively own the underlying assets. ## What is NFT Fractionalization? Fractionalization is a term used to denote the concept of splitting a single NFT into "fractions" that can be owned by multiple individuals. It is usually used to lower barrier to entry to high-value NFTs; for example, rather than a single person owning a Bored Ape NFT which is currently around 75 ETH to own, that Bored Ape can be fractionalized as a SZNS Collection represented by 75 $COLLECTION tokens (or any arbitrary number) where one $COLLECTION would now be equal to 1 ETH, lowering the purchase price to own a Bored Ape. ## Get Started To fractionalize an NFT you own, read about it on the [next page](/collection-types/fractionszn/collection-creation-steps) or [start on our website](https://www.szns.io/create)! To buy a fraction of an NFT you like, read about it [HERE](/tutorials/buying-collection-tokens) or [go explore](https://www.szns.io/explore) options on our website! # Collection Creation Steps # DAO SZN Quickly launch a token-governed DAO using SZNS with no code. ## # Pool SZN (Coming Soon) Pool ETH together with friends or strangers to purchase grail NFTs and manage them together # Collection Lifecycle Collections are the core component for the SZNS platform offering. They allow users to launch a fully decentralized governance system to manage their NFT asset(s) with others who hold the governance token. The lifecycle of a Collection is important to understand in order to utilize the tech. Ultimately we aim to make the product self explanatory and intuitive with product maturity! Feedback is always welcome (see our [requests form](https://requests.szns.io/b/feature-requests/) or join our [discord](https://discord.gg/n6u8SUFjQ2)). ## Phase 1. Collection Launch {% hint style="info" %} Note: the Collection launch phase depends on the purpose and mission for the Collection. Often they involve a token sale distribution either to purchase NFTs or to simply provide liquidity to the NFT owner who created the Collection. {% endhint %} The Collection launch process allows a creator to come to SZNS with one or many NFTs and spin up a Collection in a few clicks. At this stage it is important for the creator to understand the token structure, if they want to distribute via a token sale event or manually, and the mission / goals for the Collection. Specific steps and parameters for this step can be found [here](/tutorials/creating-an-nft-collection). Deployment costs range from 0.2 - 0.7 ETH (dependent on the number of NFTs sent at launch). ## Phase 2 – Managing the Collection After the creation and deposit of the NFTs, the Collections will be fully managed by $COLLECTION token holders. These token holders can easily use [Standard Proposals](/collection-governance/standard-proposals) in the SZNS interface. For more complex smart contract interactions more sophisticated Collections may need to rely on [Custom Proposals](/collection-governance/arbitrary-contract-calls). The management phase of the Collection optimizes for users ability to decide what to do with their NFTs and assets gained through a liquidation event. At Collection launch the SZNS interface holds a variety of essential proposals (found in the [Standard Proposals](/standard-proposals/overview) section of these docs). ## Phase 3 – Dissolving the Collection Some Collections want to continue into the future to re-invest accumulated liquidity into new NFTs and opportunities. Others will decide to fully liquidate and dissolve their Collection via distributing the assets to all token holders. This process will complete when all assets are liquidated and proceeds distributed, otherwise Collections will continue on in the Management Phase of development. # Default Collection Governance
Collections democratize the management of NFT baskets as a DAO. Decentralized governance is an evolving problem and effective DAO models vary from community to community. SZNS makes the initial governance setup easy by offering a lightweight system with sensible default parameters to both empower Collection holders with ownership decision-making, as well as protect owners from malicious proposals. ## Voting Process SZNS simplifies governance by pulling the majority of actions for a standard proposal into a single interface.
1. A Collection member (owns some amount of Collection token) submits a proposal 2. Collection members vote on active standard proposals 3. After voting, the sznsDAO or any user will submit a 1ETH bond to confirm proposal results 4. If the bond is not challenged during the 1 week period, the transactions are executed by the Collection ## Default Proposal Requirements **Programatic Parameters (determined programmatically):** * SnapShot Parameters * Submitter Owns Collection Token * Reality Oracle Parameters * Bond: 1 ETH * Expiration: 1 Week * Timeout: 48 Hrs (defines the amount of time before execution is unavailable) * Cooldown: 0 **Subjective Parameters (double-checked via reality.eth):** * Length of Voting: defined by proposer * Length of Verification: 1 Week (defined [here](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/bafybeic7cadmyc2r426iq7cnfoa3khdtnhk7crnyh3vhfciamwo35waizy)) * Voting Quorum: 50% Total Supply * ‘Yes’ Token Weighted Threshold: 85% * ‘No’ Token Weighted Threshold: 10% The default parameters expect a high participation rate from Collection token holders to make a collective decision. This assumption is built around the idea that Collections will consist of a fairly tight knit community. ## Proposal Rejection Proposals can be rejected at two main stages: (1) during Snapshot voting and (2) during the Reality.eth arbitration. **(1) A proposal is rejected if it doesn't follow the** [**Governance Rules**](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/bafybeic7cadmyc2r426iq7cnfoa3khdtnhk7crnyh3vhfciamwo35waizy)**:** * Less than 50% of the token economy votes (quorum) * Less than 85% of the voting population votes Yes **(2) Reality.eth arbitration** 2.1 Users Challenging Incorrect Verification After a successful Snapshot voting period, the proposal is sent to Reality.eth for a verification of results before the proposal's transaction is sent on-chain. During this period, users can check whether a successfully voted proposal has met the guidelines of what constitutes a valid proposal. During the verification stage on Reality.eth, users must put up a Bond of 1ETH to as part of their attestation that the buyout proposal is indeed valid. Users can contest by doubling the Bond. At the end of the verification period, users who have put up a Bond for the incorrect answer will lose their Bonded ETH, those who place a bond for a correct answer receive their ETH back, and those who successfully challenge someone who bonded an incorrect answer receives the ETH staked by the incorrect user. This process prevents malicious actors who lie to pass invalid proposals. 2.2 Users asking for Arbitration The other way a proposal might be rejected is via Arbitration. To begin, the SZNS multisig is the first arbiter for all Collections. Eventually this responsibility will be given to others within the Collection community. # Tokenholder Voting The default Collection governance mechanism is a simple 1-token/1-vote model. The thresholds for a successful vote are defined in the previous section ([Default Collection Governance](https://docs.szns.io/album-governance/default-governance)). The parameters for default tokenholder voting can be changed by governance by the DAO through a custom proposal that updates the governance process in the smart contract. Additionally, we plan to add support for defining such parameters at Collection creation. # Guardians (Coming Soon) In addition to the popular 1-token/1-vote model, we will support a more trusted model of governance where Collection tokenholders can appoint "Guardians" who have scoped out permissions of what they can perform without being subject to voting time thresholds so they can make decisions that benefit the Collection at large. This will enable DAOs to perform faster actions within the Collection. The SZNS platform will continue to add new governance models that allow communities to flexibly govern Collections in a manner they choose. # Proposal Process All proposals in SZNS Collections move through a governance process with similar components. Under the hood, the Gnosis safesnap module allows for these communities to vote offchain and execute onchain. If you'd like more details on the proposal criteria see the Governance Rules. ## Proposal States ### State 0: Submission Token holders of a particular Collection are able to submit proposals via the "Proposals" button on the Collection Page. See [custom proposals](/collection-governance/arbitrary-contract-calls) or [standard proposals](/collection-governance/standard-proposals) for more information! ### State 1: Voting Active SZNS provides standard interfaces for various actions Collections need to perform to succeed. Each proposal type requires different inputs for the specific purpose. Proposals submitted to a Collection begin as either [Standard Proposals](/collection-governance/standard-proposals) or [Custom Proposals](/collection-governance/arbitrary-contract-calls). The subsequent verification and execution steps remain the same. ### State 2: Double-checking This process lets you verify results for on-chain execution using [reality.eth](https://reality.eth.link/app/). Step 1: Request execution of the transaction Step 2: Set the condition of the outcome and submit your bond Step 3: Wait for the oracle to verify which will take 1 week on Mainnet {% embed url="" %} ### State 3: Needs Execution Finally, proposals that pass the reality.eth process successfully allow anyone to execute the transactions to complete the proposal. This stage also allows the bond set in the double-checking state to be re-claimed by their owner. {% embed url="" %} # Standard Proposals Learn how to use SZNS most powerful feature Standard proposals define proposals built into the SZNS interface. These proposals include common actions taken by Collection tokenholders to make the process of governance easier for non-technical members (see [Collection Proposals](/collection-governance/proposal-process) section below for examples). ![Standard proposals provide intuitive interfaces for common actions.](/files/7jqIXSqv0Ycx94CnV9pY) Examples of Proposal Actions include: [**Add NFT**](/standard-proposals/add-nft)\ Propose to add a specific NFT into the Collection [**List NFT**](/standard-proposals/list-nft) \ Propose to list an NFT in exchange for ETH [**Bounty Board**](/standard-proposals/bounty-board)\ Propose a set of NFTs to be accepted by the DAO in return for a pre-determined amount of $COLLECTION tokens [**Transfer ETH/ERC20s**](/standard-proposals/transfer-eth-erc20) \ Send ETH/ERC20s to any public ETH address [**Transfer NFTs**

Please reach out in our [Discord](https://discord.gg/szns) if you're struggling with any aspect of Standard Proposals. # Custom Proposals The SZNS platform allows for any arbitrary calldata to be passed for voting and execution, as long as the user can craft and submit the transaction via the [SafeSnap module](https://docs.snapshot.org/plugins/safesnap). ![](/files/g8kwnhmt1BdLFIN8l8ts) The ability to pass Custom Proposals allows a DAO to manage their NFTs inside the Collections in an extremely flexible and decentralized way. Any tokenholder of an Collection is able to submit Custom Proposals, crafting a transaction to be voted on that allows for an on-chain execution of the transaction after a successful vote. Crafting Ethereum transactions to be voted on, however, introduces certain challenges to DAOs: * Barrier to entry, as only technical users can submit the proposal * Exposes the user to potential errors in crafting the transaction correctly * The DAO must also review the transaction to ensure it is not crafted in a malicious manner The end goal for SZNS is to codify as many arbitrary proposal as possible into easy standard proposals that anyone can interact with so that more people can participate in governance. {% hint style="info" %} Go [here](https://youtu.be/Ij6cSNiKB0A) for a more complex example. {% endhint %} This step involves navigating to the Collection snapshot instance, inputing a title and description, adding voting options, and then constructing a custom transaction at the end. {% embed url="" %} # Overview While Collection DAOs can pass any kind of arbitrary proposals to be executed on-chain, Standard Proposals are pre-crafted proposals available to Collection DAOs to remove the hassle of interacting with complex Contracts when creating a Proposal. # Add NFT The add NFT proposal allows Collection members to add a new NFT to the Collection in exchange for a specified amount of $COLLECTION token.

The default voting system uses a single choice voting strategy where addresses hold voting power proportional to their token amounts at the time of the proposal submission. ![$ALBUM holders can vote via the Album page or by navigating to Snapshot.](/files/3QAPz0xNIyI3A63UaQE2) $COLLECTION holders can vote in the SZNS interface or click out into the snapshot page to gather more details on the proposal prior to voting. # Creating an NFT Collection The process for creating an Collection is simple and done fully through the SZNS UI. **Step 1.** Connect Wallet **Step 2.** Click 'Create Collection' **Step 3.** Enter Collection details and select NFTs ![Collection launch details.](/files/-MjpZeYcA2nhB5r1eDur) Collection details include information about the Collection token (name, total supply, initial ownership address...). **Step 4.** Distribute tokens The Collection creator decides how much of the Collection token will be sent to an initial auction. The rest of the tokens remain in the creator's address to be used in various ways (manual distribution, market liquidity, voting, etc). **Step 5.** Grow your community! Once the tokens are distributed, it's time to grow your community! This can be done in a variety of ways. The most effective path currently relies on DAO communications via tokenized chat access using CollabLand or Noble. If the community grows large enough, it would be effective to build a governance forum in order to track long form decisions and ideas. # Buying Collection Tokens The Collection creator is given an option to hold a distribution event of the $COLLECTION membership tokens in exchange for ETH. The ETH raised goes directly into the public account of the address that created the Collection. ![](/files/f4nZfMs4Iaz40lUDOPv4) #### Token parameters include: **Token Supply:** this defines the initial supply of the tokens at Collection launch. **Token Name:** this defines the name used for the token cashtag. **Amount of Tokens to Sell:** this defines the number of tokens offered in the distribution. **Tokens per ETH:** this sets the price of each token as well as the overall economy. **Sale Date:** this sets the range of time the sale is active. ![](/files/-MjpZ187fpTXmAdturTM) The token sale interface is available on desktop or mobile. # Expedited Processing SZNS Collection governance defaults to a two week long period for a proposal to pass securely with adequate time to identify and refute proposals that are misaligned. While this offers a secure path for decision-making, the flow does not provide agility in decision-making. Below we define another alternative option for Collections who require an expedited process. ## sznsDAO Fast Execution (\~1 Week) The sznsDAO is able to arbitrate and pass or fail any proposal in an Collection's governance after a proposal enters the [Arbitration Period](/collection-governance/default-governance). During this period, a Collection can coordinate with the sznsDAO to expedite a process for them. Teams interested in this path will ask users to add their proposals through the Collection UI. This requires two transactions (an approval and a confirm to submit). Parameters are pre-set to simplify the process. While there are two code enforced parameters (bond amount of 1 ETH and length of 1 week), DAOs are meant to follow the default DAO Requirements (also noted in [Default Collection Governance](/collection-governance/default-governance)). It is up to the DAO community to follow this. The community can decide to adjust these parameters for various circumstances if needed. If a Collection anticipates a large number of proposals to be expedited, they need to coordinate with the sznsDAO to define a bulk transaction date. This will allow for a more refined process of execution, and limits the chance for an improper transaction. The date chosen will define the date by which all proposals should be pushed through by the community. For instance, if an execution date is set for October 14th, all NFT proposals should be initiated before the 7th so they may pass the DAO governance process requirements of a 1-week voting period. # $COLLECTION Token Liquidity Once a Collection token distribution completes there is no longer an opportunity for anyone to seamlessly purchase these tokens from the SZNS interface. Each Collection is responsible for creating their own liquidity strategy. Some Collections facilitate OTC trades on [Sudoswap](https://sudoswap.xyz/#/) while others create liquidity pools on a decentralized exchange such as [Uniswap](https://uniswap.org/), [Sushiswap](https://www.sushi.com/), or [Balancer](https://balancer.fi/). # SZNS Overview
## SZNS Contract Architecture The SZNS contract system defines the decision-making process for Album governance configuration and treasury management. ### SZNS Governance The governance contract for the sznsDAO uses a Gnosis multisignature wallet to make decisions. This provides a secure and easily modified system for collective governance over the protocol. ### SZNS Token Contract The SZNS token contract manages the SZNS token economy, and holders of the token hold governance rights over the SZNS DAO. ### Album Factory Contract The Album Factory defines the contracts created when a user launches an Album. These include the Album Governance Contract, the Album Governance Process Module (a wrapper defining the governance system), and the Album Token Contract. # Collection DAOs Formerly known as "Albums"
## Collection Contract Architecture The Collection contract architecture combines well known contracts with new flexible governance tools to create a system that is simple and future proof out of the box. ### Governance Contract The core of Collection DAO governance and decision-making uses a Gnosis multisig. The Gnosis safe provides an extremely secure and flexible option to build out a decentralized decision-making system managing the Collection assets. ### DAO Governance Process The DAO Governance Process defines parameters around proposal execution. Once a proposal passes, there is an [arbitration period](/core-components/collections#arbitration-and-on-chain-execution) that opens using an oracle that human-verifies the outcome of the decision. Successful verification triggers the execution of the batched transactions defined in the proposal. ### Token Contract The Collection token contract mints at Collection creation and responds to requests for future minting by the governance contract. # Audits and Security SZNS largely relies on battle tested smart contracts that have been audited by Peckshield. ## Security Process We take digital assets seriously at SZNS. If you find flaws in our smart contract architecture or serious bugs in our application please don't hesitate to reach out to our email ****. For bugs found that hold assets at risk we will consider bug bounties up to 10% of the value at risk! Thanks for being part of the ecosystem. ## Updates Any security related reports will be included here. #### Bounty Board On August 4th, 2022, [Patrick Drotleff](https://ventral.digital/about), an IT consultant, discovered a vulnerability in the Bounty Board contract ([0x879d25dB71DD9ff94452C510C13347fb49175D9D](https://etherscan.io/address/0x879d25dB71DD9ff94452C510C13347fb49175D9D)). The vulnerability was that the function `batchFillOrder()` does not check whether the caller owns the NFTs with which they want to fill the order to give NFTs in exchange for collection tokens. Thus, an attacker could tribute the NFTs of a user who has given approval for an NFT contract in return for collection tokens. The issue was easily fixed by replacing `erc721.ownerOf(id)` with `msg.sender`. ```solidity function batchFillOrder( Order calldata order, ERC721Grouping[] calldata erc721Groupings ) internal { ... if (!order.validator.meetsCriteria(address(erc721), id)) { revert InvalidNftError(address(erc721), id); } // Forward NFT to benecifiary // NOTE: reentrancy should be safe here, since we're decrementing // the number of fills based on its later value. erc721.safeTransferFrom( erc721.ownerOf(id), order.nftBeneficiary, id ); } } // Should throw if underflow remainingFills[orderHash] -= tributeCounter; // Payout to order filler order.erc20.mint(msg.sender, order.tokensPerTribute * tributeCounter); } ``` To disable approvals to this contract, go to , connect your wallet, and revoke any allowances for the contract 0x879d25dB71DD9ff94452C510C13347fb49175D9D. Since we were contacted by Patrick, we have reached out to individuals with ENS names who were at risk. No individuals were exploited by this vulnerability. Patrick was awarded 1 ETH as a reward. # Bug Bounty S/O to AAVE for building such an epic standard for bug bounties (we forked it). ### Overview The security of SZNS users is paramount. For that reason, starting on August 10, 2022, the SZNS core smart contracts and Collection contracts are subject to the SZNS Protocol Bug Bounty (the “Program”). The Program enables community members to submit reports of “bugs” or vulnerabilities for a chance to earn rewards. The Program aims to incentivize responsible disclosure and enhance the security of SZNS. Rewards will be allocated based on the severity of the bug disclosed and evaluated and rewarded **up to USD $250,000**. The scope, terms and rewards at the sole discretion of the team (the “Team”). ## Scope The Program includes the vulnerabilities and bugs in SZNS smart contract and . The following are not within the scope of the Program: Bugs in any third party contract or platform that interacts with SZNS; Vulnerabilities related to domains, DNS or servers of websites; Vulnerabilities already reported and/or discovered in contracts built by third parties on SZNS; Any already-reported bugs or other vulnerabilities. Determinations of eligibility, score and all terms related to rewards and their payment are at the sole discretion of the Team. ## Eligibility To be eligible for a reward under this Program, you must: Discover a previously unreported, non-public vulnerability within the scope of this Program. Vulnerabilities must be distinct from the issues covered in the previously conducted publicly available audits. Be the first to disclose the unique vulnerability to the Team by the disclosure requirements below. If similar vulnerabilities are reported, the first submission shall be rewarded (if determined valid and otherwise in the scope of this Program). Possess sufficient technical knowledge and provide sufficient information necessary to reproduce and fix the vulnerability. Not engage in any unlawful conduct when disclosing the bug, including through threats, demands, or any other coercive tactics. Not exploit the vulnerability in any way, including by making it public or obtaining a profit (other than a reward under this Program). Any publicity in any way, whether direct or indirect, relating to any bug or vulnerability will automatically disqualify it and you from the Program. Make a good faith effort to avoid privacy violations, data destruction, interruption or degradation of SZNS. Submit only one vulnerability per submission unless you need to chain vulnerabilities to impact any vulnerabilities. If you want to add more information to a provided issue, create a new submission referencing the initial one. Not submit a separate vulnerability caused by an underlying issue that is the same as an issue on which a reward has been paid under this Program. Not be one of our current or former employees, vendors, service providers, or contractors or an employee of any of those vendors or contractors or an immediate family (parent, sibling, spouse, or child) or household member of such person. Not be subject to any international, national or state level sanctions. Be at least 18 years of age or, if younger, submit your vulnerability with the consent of your parent or guardian. ## Disclosure Any vulnerability or bug discovered must be reported to the Team via . The disclosure must be made within 24 hours following the discovery of the vulnerability and, as noted above, not have been exploited in any way prior to disclosure or publicized or disclosed to any third party (other than the Team) prior to not only submission of the report, but also fixing of the bug / vulnerability. ## Rewards All submissions are evaluated by the Team on a case by case basis. Rewards are allocated based on the severity of the issue, and other variables, including, but not limited to a) the quality of the issue description, b) the instructions for reproducibility, and c) the quality of the fix (if included). A detailed report of a vulnerability increases the likelihood of a reward and may increase the reward amount. Therefore, please provide as much information about the vulnerability as possible. The Program intends to follow a similar approach as the Ethereum Bug Bounty, where the severity of the issues will be based according to the OWASP risk rating model based on “Impact” and “Likelihood”. The evaluation on scoring is however at the sole discretion of the Team. All rewards are paid in USDC or ETH equivalent via a transfer to the wallet address provided by the participant to the Team. The reward can be exchanged into other crypto assets or fiat. As a condition of participating in this Program, the participants give Company the permission to share their wallet address and other information provided by them to third parties for the purpose of administering this Program and complying with applicable laws, regulations, and rules. The reward will be received in USDC token based on the following severity scheme: Note = Up to 100 USDC Very low = Up to 500 USDC Low = Up to 1,000 USDC Medium = Up to 5,000 USDC High = Up to 10,000 USDC Very High = Up to 50,000 USDC Critical = Up to 250,000 USDC [![Bug Bounty](https://github.com/aave/bug-bounty/raw/main/bugBounty.png)](https://github.com/aave/bug-bounty/blob/main/bugBounty.png) ### Other terms The decisions made regarding rewards are final and binding. By submitting your report, you grant the Company any and all rights, including without limitation intellectual property rights, needed to validate, mitigate, and disclose the vulnerability. All reward decisions, including eligibility for and amounts of the rewards and how such rewards will be paid, are made at sole discretion of the Company. Terms and conditions of the Program may be altered at any time. Company may change or cancel this Program at any time, for any reason. # Apply to Launch as a Featured Collection Be a featured partner and launch your Collection with SZNS.

Digital Assets are not legal tender and are not backed by any government, and they are not subject to protections or insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. **Digital Assets that you may acquire on our Site are not intended as investments - they are designed for use and engagement between Creators and their fans.** *You accept the risk of transacting with Digital Assets* ‍‍While the Site may provide information about the estimated value of Digital Assets, including $SZNS, $BTC, $ETH and NFTs, and may include information about their historical value, the fiat value of all Digital Assets are subject to volatility and change, and Digital Assets could lose their value, both on an individual as well as a network-wide basis.

Listing an NFT on the Szns Platform that violates our Terms, or violates the Intellectual Property *The rights that you do not get through the Creator NFT that you own* Unless such rights are expressly provided by the creator of the NFT, the ownership of an NFT does not necessarily provide the following rights: \- You may not have the right to make commercial use of the creation underlying the NFT including, for example, by selling copies of creation, selling access to the creation, developing and selling derivative works, including merchandise, that embody the creation, including it within other media that you sell or promote commercially, or otherwise commercially exploiting, or allowing others to exploit, the creation in any manner. Again, the ownership of the NFT only relates to the NFT, and not the underlying creation. \- You may not have the right to (i) advertise or promote any third party product or service with the NFT; (ii) use or display the creation in a manner that associates it with hate speech, racism, intolerance, violence, cruelty, or anything else that could put the creation or NFT in a negative light or infringe upon the rights of others; (iii) attempt to trademark, copyright, or otherwise acquire intellectual property rights in or to the creation; (iv) tokenize or mint a cryptographic token representing the creation; or (v) misrepresent the creator of the creation, including by claiming that you created it if you did not. **Ownership** If you earn, buy and otherwise receive Digital Assets on the Site, such Digital Assets are owned by you. That information is not maintained by Szns, but exists on blockchains including, but not limited to the Ethereum blockchain protocol.
