CookieJar is an optimistic slush fund designed for use in DAOs or with small trusted groups. CookieJar was built to alleviate pain points found in DAOs when having to fund reoccurring costs to support the DAO.

Example: A developer in a DAO pays for web hosting for the DAOs website. Instead of having to submit a proposal each month to be reimbursed for the hosting fees a CookieJar can be used.

Example: A local Crypto meetup pools money to purchase beer and pizza each week. Two members pick up the beer and pizza each week for the meetup.  With a CookieJar, the parties responsible for purchasing the food and drink can reach into the CookieJar and grab funds for the week's meetup.
