Significant progress this month as app progress has hit a flywheel, or it had until we started building events infrastructure! The marketplace and cart functionality are fully operational, including token-based purchasing, approvals, and token burning mechanics. Proposal submissions and on-chain governance voting are now live and fully integrated, along with robust notification and proposal status tracking. Our events infrastructure has been a major focus, featuring a community calendar, event creation, NFT-based event registration and completion, token-gated event access, and considerable troubleshooting of smart contracts.
This effort has taken up much of our focus over the past seven months but we believe it fundamentally transforms our capacity as a 501c3 and that of many other communities that want to collective share assets, co-govern, and work towards greater visions of good. Our intention to is leverage the app to grow SpiritDAO, but also serve as a revenue engine for our organization—forking the product into a modular dao platform designed for mobile first-management and offering managed services for third parties. This engine will power our efforts to serve our core purposes here at SpiritDAO.
We're looking forward to inviting you to a closed beta for the community infrastructure. We will begin outreach over the next few members to individuals who have expressed interest to begin testing our application in real time. If you'd like to be included just respond to this email and we'll be sure to send you an invite.
If it's of interest, here is a working list we are using to track our present app progress: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SIheOnuOIfy2IKgc52O_dRJWbqFNONEEYOS07UtvGB4/edit?usp=sharing
After the soft launch of our MVP we will explore interest in a 'Deconstruction' event (possibly two) that take place in person over the course of 1-2 weeks. We will explore the past four years of SpiritDAO's efforts, review our historical efforts and outcomes, critique and dismantle, and co-create a process that better positions us to maximize our impact and further the Eight Dignities.
Ron Rivers submitted an application to be considered for CDP (Coinbase Developer) Builder grants on behalf of SpiritDAO. If we are selected for funding, capital would be distributed to the contributors of the community application and be used to seed our DAO treasury to support various community efforts (present and future).
If you have any questions about how to become more involved in our communal fundraising contact community@spiritdao.org.
