Creating Projects and Payments

Process for paying team and costs at the end of a project, using Deep Teams application.

Introduction

The system uses some manual workarounds to use the first version of the Deep Teams application with existing tools and processes at Deep Work. Please bear with it whilst we iterate and automate.

If you're using this new system for the first time, please reach out to Charlie (via Discord) or book a call to onboard and go through the process first time.

Payment Type:

Checking Payments and User Registrations

Send the page link to any users that need to register and 'apply' for roles that you were not able to assign.

Non-registered users, it's possible that a user or team member has not registered, if so, share the Deep Payments application link and make sure they apply to the correct role. It's your responsible to check that rogue users do not apply.

Transaction Signature

Following the instructions in Gnosis to sign the transaction

Second Stakeholder Sign

For the payment to go through, a second signature is required from another Representative or Creative Director. This is a check system to make sure what your sending is correct and for any UI/wallet hacks. Make sure the Representative you reach out to is aware of what they're checking.

Go to the wallet where you signed the transaction in Gnosis SAFE (See tables above for links)
Go to Transactions > Queue

Select the transaction and copy the link.
Send the transaction link to another stakeholder (representative or creative director) and ask them to approve the transaction (but not execute).

Execute Transaction

Once the transaction has two confirmations, you can execute.

You will need ETH in your wallet to pay for gas, you will get this repaid in the USDC value in the next step.

Use the link above to find the transaction. Or go to Transactions > Queue.
Click the execute button.
Execute the transaction from your wallet.
Save the etherscan link for the next two steps.
