Brazil is a country of contrasts. On one hand, it ranks among the top internet user bases in the world; on the other, 47 million Brazilians lack regular internet access (IBGE, 2022).This inequality directly impacts education, employment, and innovation, creating invisible barriers that keep millions on the sidelines of the digital economy.

Who is most affected by this exclusion?

• Young people from urban outskirts and rural areas

• Women interested in technology but with limited opportunities

• Black, quilombola, and indigenous communities

• People over 50 seeking to reenter the job market

• University students without support to turn ideas into reality

In the 21st century, lacking digital skills means being socially and economically excluded.

The answer: Tche Foundation – DAO

The Tche Foundation – DAO is emerging to democratize access to education, digital inclusion, and social entrepreneurship, using Web3 technology and a decentralized governance model.

Our proposal is simple at its core but powerful in execution:

1. Free, high-quality education – in-person and online courses in programming, Web3, design, business, and more.

2. Multidisciplinary mentorship – emotional, legal, and strategic support for projects and careers.

3. Regional hubs – physical spaces that connect communities with resources for training and collaboration.

4. Open governance via DAO – decisions made by the community with full transparency.

5. Social and tech project incubation – seed funding, acceleration, and access to global networks.

The kind of story we want to create

Imagine Ana, 19 years old, living in a community in the northern zone of Porto Alegre.She dreams of working in technology but has never owned her own computer.In the near future, through a Tche Foundation – DAO course, Ana could learn programming logic, join mentorship sessions, connect with other women in tech, and—with support from our incubator—launch her first project: a free tutoring platform for young people in her area.

This is the kind of journey we aim to make possible—training talent, transforming realities, and creating a cycle of impact that sustains itself.

The role of $PILA

$PILA will be the native token of Tche Foundation – DAO, serving multiple purposes:

• Governance: ensuring that participants have an active voice in decision-making.

• Funding: sustaining courses, hubs, and events.

• Rewards: recognizing and rewarding mentors, students, and volunteers.

• Regenerative cycle: part of the results from incubated projects will flow back into the DAO, strengthening the ecosystem.

Unlike centralized models, here the value generated returns to the community.

ESG in practice

Our commitment will be measurable:

• 🎯 2,000+ students trained annually

• 👩‍💻 50% women in all classes

• ✊ 30% Black and Indigenous representation in incubation cycles

• 🏫 10+ regional hubs active by 2026

• 📈 12 to 16 projects incubated per year

• 📊 Public dashboard with impact metrics and transparent reporting

Global inspiration

We’re not starting from scratch in terms of concept. Projects like Web3Bridge in Nigeria, Bankless Academy, and Gitcoin have already proven that blockchain technology can be leveraged for inclusion, education, and social impact at scale.

Tche Foundation – DAO brings this vision to the Brazilian context, honoring our cultural diversity and local needs.

The call to action

The transformation we envision will not happen alone.It needs people like you:

• Volunteers who want to teach, mentor, and inspire.

• Partners who understand that social impact and innovation go hand in hand.

• Donors who see education as the most secure investment there is.

We were born from the conviction that today's most advanced technology, Web3, can be the most powerful tool to solve some of Brazil's oldest social problems. Our mission is to build a Digital Public Good that generates measurable, transparent, and regenerative impact. And we do this through an architecture designed to be ESG at its core.

G - Governance: Transparency as the Rule, Not the Exception

Our greatest innovation is our governance model. Instead of an opaque corporate structure, we have created a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) where radical transparency is the standard and participation is the norm.

• Democratic and Accessible Decisions: Through the Snapshot platform, any holder of our token, $PILA, can propose and vote on the future of the foundation at no cost. This eliminates barriers and ensures that our community's voice is heard.

• Secure and Auditable Execution: Approved decisions are executed by a Curator Core through a Safe (multi-signature) wallet. No single person can move funds alone, and every transaction—whether it's funding a regional Hub or paying a grant—is permanently recorded on the Optimism blockchain, open for public audit at any time.

• Decentralized Leadership: Our model of Hubs and SubDAOs is designed to distribute power, encouraging the rise of local, female, and underrepresented leaders, ensuring that diversity is in our management, not just in our discourse.

S - Social: The Heart of Our Mission

Our transparent governance is the engine that drives our social impact. Our focus is to directly address the roots of opportunity inequality in Brazil.

• Education for the New Economy: We offer free, cutting-edge technology training to youth from underserved communities, women, Black and indigenous people, and individuals over 50—talent that the traditional market insists on ignoring.

• Impact Incubator: We don't just train talent; we incubate their projects. We support solutions that are born from the grassroots to solve the real problems of their own communities.

• Regional Development: By creating physical Hubs in low-HDI regions, we bring infrastructure and opportunity to the interior of the country, fighting the logic that innovation only happens in major urban centers.

E - Environmental: Sustainability by Design

While our main focus is social, our technological choices reflect a deep commitment to environmental sustainability.

• Low-Impact Technology: Building on Optimism, a Layer 2 network, was a conscious decision. Our operations consume a minimal fraction of the energy of other blockchains, ensuring a drastically reduced carbon footprint.

• Fostering the Green Economy: Our governance structure allows the community, through the "Verde DAO," to vote to direct resources and incubate projects focused on sustainability, carbon credits, and solutions for the climate crisis.

A Regenerative Model

The true power of our model is that it is self-reinforcing. Success breeds more success.

• Incubated projects return a portion of their revenue to the DAO's treasury, funding the next generation of innovators.

• Graduated students become the mentors for the next classes.

• Local partners evolve to become autonomous and sustainable Hubs.

This constant cycle of return and reinvestment ensures that the impact of the Tche.Foundation is not just a donation, but an ecosystem that grows, strengthens, and becomes increasingly sustainable.

Join Our Mission

We are building more than an organization. We are building a new logic for social transformation in Brazil. A logic that is decentralized, transparent, and belongs to everyone who is a part of it.

If you believe in the power of technology to generate real impact, we invite you to be part of this journey. Follow our page, participate in the discussions, and help build the future of education in Brazil.
