We Are the Black Flag 🏴
To be bankless is to seek freedom. Freedom to do what you want to do — to be who you want to be. Throughout history, people have hoisted the black flag in the face of authoritarian rule. The black flag is a declaration of our intent to be free. It is a symbol of our resolve. BanklessDAO was created to steward the bankless movement. We fly the black flag as a beacon for all freedom seekers; to create a space for us to gather and grow.We welcome all. Country, creed, age, language, race, religio...

Creating a Winnable Game
The BanklessDAO Grants Committee is one of the most central and visible groups in the DAO, and it’s also one of the least understood. During my time as the Grants Committee Lead in Season 4 and 5, I presided over some of the biggest ever changes to our grants processes. These changes resulted in a 5.8M BANK savings/deferral in S4, increased accountability via recorded project KPIs in S4 and S5, and strong guidance for Guilds/Departments in S6. By all accounts, these changes have been successf...

How to Use KeePass to Share Passwords Async
Password management is a common problem for small teams with limited budgets. This workflow will allow you to easily and securely share passwords within a team for free, using open-source, cross-platform (Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS, Android) software, KeePass. KeePass is open-source software which uses an encrypted file to store your passwords.

How to Use Asana to Work Asynchronously
Asana is a task-tracking and project-planning system. It helps us coordinate our efforts so that we can accomplish more as a team than we can on our own. It also sets us up to work asynchronously, which is important for team sustainability. Asana is non-opinionated, meaning it doesn’t enforce a certain workflow. It’s essentially a bunch of TODO lists with linkages between tasks. This means that each team can set up their own, custom workflow. Here’s a simple example:List view on the left, Boa...

Working Sustainably
Recently, Hiro Kennelly shared his experience of starting in the DAOverse. It was a familiar tale of finding his passion, putting his whole soul into it, and finding himself empty at the end. Hiro’s tale is familiar to almost everyone; 9 of 10 people have experienced burnout in their lives, and 1 in 4 are suffering through it now. It’s the sinking feeling of the mountain of tasks looming behind you as you desperately try to finish the one in front of you. It’s the realization that no matter h...
