Love On-chain: Heart-Bound Tokens
Originally written: 3 July 2022 "Proof of Love is the future." — Overheard at DAO PalaceOriginal off-white paperAbstract Web3 allows people and communities to document value and digital asset ownership on-chain most commonly with the ability to transfer these values and assets freely. Some organizations have been using forms of non-transferrable governance for many years now.

Crypto The (End) Game
To start, I would like to say that Crypto The Game has been a fun, time-consuming new experiment in our world. Congrats to Dylan and team for bringing CTG into existence. The highlights for me have been meeting new people in the space via tribes and also becoming closer with familiar faces. We’ve had lots of fun in lots of chats along the way. I am very happy to be a part of the final grouping.In general, I spend a lot of time thinking about making our space better (we still have many issues)...

Unconquerable Product Ownership
From the Back to the FrontI had the opportunity to share ideas around “Unconquerable Product Ownership” at MCON2 in Denver in early September. In our Ethereum world, we often assume that we are building unconquerable products because we are building on Ethereum. However, we see many recent examples of how products, projects and DAOs are being conquered, attacked or censored. If we want to build the system that we think we are building, we need to pay more attention to important factors from t...

In the middle of June 2023, I was invited to give a presentation to the Season VI cohort of Raid Guild during Brown Bag Sessions.
This season’s cohort goals included more about sharing ideas and knowledge that could help more people entering Web3.
I was happy to present some ideas around how contributors can best find their spot in DAOs.
This is not some groundbreaking invention but the idea is that having some simple structure around the issue could help some people think through the process better.

To start, what is the main problem to solve?

This makes entering DAOs new, complex and potentially confusing. So what to do?
Storytime:
One year ago in a Palace far, far away, a bunch of DAO heads gathered to think about all things DAOs.

One topic we were trying to solve was how to make it easier for DAO contributors to become DAO contributors!
The output was:

To dive into the learnings a bit more, we have three broad parts:
1) Love

2) Good At

3) Needs

At the intersections of these parts, we have:

If you can find a DAO that needs these, that’s a win-win.

Mentoring and education can be a great way to attract contributors to fill these needs.

Here, DAOs may need to find ways to incentivize the completion of these tasks.
And finally, the intersection of all three parts:

This is the Sweet Spot!
Shown in chart form:

Often, one of the hardest parts is figuring out what a DAO needs. To do this, you need to:

All of this is highly related to the the Japanese concept of Ikigai.

In fact, we realized afterwards that @tracheopteryx, an early contributor to Yearn, had already brought the two concepts together in an awesome high level twitter thread.

If you have ideas to contribute or questions, please reach out.
