Hello there.

For a long time, Reef Chain has lacked something very crucial to onchain coordination: decentralized autonomous organization tooling of any kind.

Of course, you can do things the old-fashioned way. Set up a group chat or forum, talk about different topics, get feedback from your community using a poll, etc. But one of the key differentiators for raising funds and coordinating onchain is that you can do this all transparently, using various weighting mechanisms, and also compensate community members easily based on their level of involvement.

Today we are thrilled to introduce Orcanize to the Reef Chain community.

Orcanize is a decentralized application and protocol designed to facilitate group decision-making and resource allocation in DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) and other collaborative organizations. It allows members to collectively allocate “tokens” (or equivalent rewards) to recognize contributions, encouraging collaboration and transparency.

It's a fork of the well-known Coordinape protocol, and we very much appreciate this tool they have built. We searched high into the sky and deep into the midnight zone for a well-regarded tool that was used by top organizations, and would give the Reef community a tool they could use natively. We believe we have found that tool in the Coordinape codebase.

Here’s how it works:

1. Contribution Recognition: Participants can rate the contributions of their peers, typically through a peer-to-peer review system, helping to quantify and acknowledge each person’s input within the group.

2. Token Distribution: Each participant receives a certain number of tokens to distribute among others, based on the perceived value of their contributions. This helps in ensuring that rewards are given out in a fair and transparent manner according to the community’s values.

3. Flexibility: The system can be adapted for different types of organizations, whether they are focused on software development, creative work, or any other type of collective effort. The tokens can be used for further contributions, rewards, or governance decisions.

4. Transparency & Fairness: Orcanize will emphasize collective decision-making with transparency, ensuring that the process of rewarding contributions is open and understandable to everyone involved.

Orcanize can be used in decentralized communities to ensure fair compensation and recognition, contributing to a more egalitarian and distributed reward system.

When you pair Orcanize with other tools that are coming soon, like a native launchpad on Reef Chain and VIA Labs' bridge, we are finally starting to fill out the Reef with all the basic infrastructure needed to build a thriving ecosystem.

If you know what you're looking for, you can already find Orcanize's testnet app. It's not ready for public testing yet, but it should be ready within the next few weeks. When it is ready, we invite users to dig in, set up some test DAOs, assign work, go through the workflows, and make sure everything's working correctly. Our development team will make any changes necessary, and the code is already open source for all to view.
