DAO Tooling

If DAOs are the future, we need infrastructure and tooling to bring them to life! We’d love to see thing such as:

• A new general DAO management tool like Aragon or DAOhaus.

• Treasury Management Systems and platforms

• DeFi for DAOs

• New and exciting ways to do governance and voting (e.g. better versions of Snapshot)

• New ways to do communication and messaging (think, web3 Discord)

• Better ways to engage DAO communities (e.g. better versions of Forum)

• New types of multi-sig with better functionality (e.g. improve of Gnosis SAFE)

• Access control based on token ownership (e.g. Collab.land)

Prizes:
1st: $15,000;
2nd: $10,000,
3rd: $5,000;
Runners up: 5 x $1,000

Build a DAO:

BitDAO is positioning itself as the coordination layer of the future, where a multi-billion dollar treasury can be allocated across art, entertainment, media, finance, technology, and more, in order to cultivate and grow Web3 technologies and products.

To achieve this, the BitDAO community employs a strategy whereby it helps create Autonomous Entities, or net new organizations that are purpose built and structured to affect change in their respective industries.

These organizations are economically aligned with BitDAO and are voted on and approved by the BitDAO community. Some examples of autonomous entities created are Game7.io, EduDAO.io, and zkDAO.io.

What can you create?

We challenge you to actually build a DAO in whatever form you think. In general, we will be looking for three things.

• First, technically build a DAO using either a platform or completely bespoke and self-built (extra points for this)

• Second, decide a unique purpose and way of achieving this goal e.g. a social impact, or a membership group or to buy something like the Constitution!

• Third, achieve some traction in terms of membership and usage.

Prizes:
1st: $7,000,
2nd: $4,000,
3rd: $3,000,
4th: $1,000
