I have spent a lot of time studying governance attacks. Among these are an attack on Balancer's governance (the war with the Humpy whale), spam attacks on Kusama's parachain (including Basilisk), a successful attack on Mangata's governance, and many others.

In order to secure Hydra in the future, I suggest we start taking steps now towards strengthening governance protection. Ofc, we are not yet large enough to afford the creation of another protection protocol – a liquidity concentration protocol similar to Aura for Balancer. A Hydra’s satellite protocol that would concentrate HDX for those who do not wish to participate in Hydra's management but still want to earn.

(my Hydrafrens are getting into a battle with a whale attacking a governance-ship near Omnipool)

I suggest starting small and gradually. My initiative aims to achieve multiple goals simultaneously.

The reason for the initiative and its essence:
-Community identification – the Hydraheads.
Tokens are not sustainable for creating a community. NFTs serve as a much better adhesive for this purpose.

Who is included in the initiative:
-Accounts that have transferred xHDX tokens from ETH >to> HydraDX

The total amount of NFTs
-is strictly limited (~5500)

NFT utility:
-Initially, the primary utility of these NFTs will be to identify and distinguish early adopters from the rest members of community, which, in my opinion, is extremely important.
In the future, numerous features can be added to these NFTs. It can be an increased APR for liquidity mining, the right to veto in governance voting or an increased voting coefficient, priority rights for anything, etc. These are not set in stone and a topic for another discussion.

Who will create these NFTs?
I propose announcing a competition for visualizing these NFTs. Allocate $1k HDX equivalent from the treasury to reward three winners based on their result:
1 - $500
2 - $300
3 - $200

The contest can be held on Twitter and last for seven days. The Council (or any Twitter anons) will determine the winner, as well as the 2nd and the 3rd place through voting.

I could elaborate on what these NFTs could become, but the fact remains that they are necessary, and it's best to create them early on. In the future, these NFTs could be a powerful tool, unlocking vast potential and utility.
For instance, I’d like to mention the tweets of one of the HydraDX Councilooooors, Leemo.
These are dedicated to NFTs in ChaosDAO and how they effectively rally the community, building a management, delegation, and interaction hierarchy.

Who benefits from this initiative?
TL;DR: everyone

• The team (Galactic Council) benefits from this initiative as they get a stronger community without incurring any significant costs. First of all, NFTs act as the community glue, and GC gets a mechanism for identifying the right people for various purposes and further actions.
  Additionally, setting a 5% royalty on the secondary sale of NFTs allows the team to organize a separate fund from these royalties. These funds will be used to buy HDX to support HDX staking or to strengthen the LRNA...(whisper: rewards for posting memes! Lol)
  This will be decided by voting. There will always be a use for this fund. Who knows to what extent royalties may increase in the future!

• Those Hydraheads who participated in LBP, but were disappointed at some point and would like to leave the project or those who critically need to reduce the loss (in the equivalent of USD) received on LBP can sell their NFTs.

• LBP participants who keep these NFTs – the benefits for them are obvious. They will not spend anything additionally, but will increase the value of their presence and participation in the HydraDX project.

• Those who did not participate in LBP will be able to buy HDX and OG-status with a strong desire, which I think is cool, because a person is not to blame for missing the HydraDX at the very first moment. And if in the future they want to become a Hydrahead, this opportunity cannot be taken away from them.

Questions for an open discussion:

1. I propose to create them on the EVM network using the ERC RMRK standards. I am aware of the special connection of the HydraDX/Basilisk team with the Kodadot team, but to be honest, having studied Kodadot and what they offer quite deeply at the moment, I see no reasons to create these (so valuable) NFTs on the Kusama/Basilisk network. *Open for a discussion.

2. To consider implementing a gradation level of NFTs, with the level dependent on the number of $HDX transferred over the ETH>HydraDX bridge.

I propose discussing and voting on the creation of OGs NFT. However, before you consider this proposal, I would like to ask you to go back in time and re-read "Road to Hydration p.1" again.

Drink more water and don't get liquidated until you get your OG NFT. Thanks for the attention.
