CityDAO Timeline
Past CityDAO Community Roundups
The CityDAO community is made up of ambitious and HIGHLY curious people exploring and building at the frontier of technology, governance experiments and physical land.
The vision of CityDAO is to build the city of the future on the Ethereum blockchain by experimenting with tokenizing land, rights, and governance. 🏙

Huge shout-out to the Grants team for bringing this to life!
A year ago I wasn’t into crypto at all despite being constantly surrounded by crypto bro housemates who were constantly talking about DeFi and how they are making 20% interest on their staked assets. I remember saying to them '“good for you but wake me up when crypto is actually impacting people on a social level.”
And then came November 2021 and the significance of web3 really hit me like a train. It was when I bought my first membership to a DAO.
Guess what that DAO was? 😁
I’m LOVING the design shift!

Also shout-out to the Design Guild and @casey especially for bringing this to life. 🔥
Elmo is back with another banger of a contest - this time to generate valuable bounties to help the project, but also provide more opportunity to unlock the collective talent of the CityDAO community. A glorious combination! 😁
Check out the details in the announcements channel and dive into the mix!

p.s. massive shout-out to @elmo for bringing this to life 🙏

In the next decade, Lonis predicts there will be more DAOs taking over local government functions.
“The way I tend to think about DAOs is by the degree to which they allow community participation.”
“I would say definitely CityDAO is more on the decentralized side of the spectrum.”

Mission: Bringing together DAOs, organizations, student associations and individuals to present ideas about the university of the future. For more info or to propose a paper, please contact education@citydao.io
Check out this cool mood board as part of the early stages:

p.s. the Education Guild has absolutely been on fire! 🔥

I was able to get the play-by-play translation of this one from @Tuncay as we ate delicious Turkish food near Ephesus. Such a joy to hear Arda and Devrim’s perspective. A few highlights that stood out:
Arda is so bullish on web3 that he’s raising a monster fund to power web3 founders (I believe I heard around 24 million Euros).
Devrim brought forth an interesting thought experiment around DAOs experimenting with global organization and how it could be used in the future ( 😉 👽)
İzmir<>CityDAO parcel? Arda mentioned that if we ever move forward with a parcel in Turkey he might be able to connect us with the municipal government in İzmir.
Arda ve Devrim'e zaman ayırıp bizimle tartıştıkları için teşekkür etmek istiyorum. 🙏
