# Hack For Freedom Submission

## Name of Project
*Distributed Town*

## Project Description
Distributed Town is a Social DAO that lets local communities self-organize, and manage their skills and resources collectively. Fully autonomous from government approvals and slow, bureaucratic red-tape.

Our project uses a mutual credit system and geo-location to build "self-sustainable community hubs".

1. The idea is to build self-sustainable (non-sovereign) community-hubs for locals to exchange skills and tools/resources in these times of isolation.

2. Each contributor (in skills or resources) has a unique Skill-Wallet, with the credits they have earned.

3. Each community has a "scarcity score" for each skill/resource, that will automatically send a "signal" to the closest neighborhoods when they have excess/lack of one of them.

4. Near-communities can scale together by sharing the resources/skills more needed, following a "one-step random walk" model.

With our project we are bringing Aragon's ease of use to local communities through a simple registration system, and an intuitive UI that mimics the urban environment.

On one side, Neighbors/Members will have more mobility and access, both while traveling and while living in their own building. While on the other, neighborhoods/communities will have the chance to attract the skills and the resources they need, using a mutual credit system, rather than tiring and bureaucratic processes to attract grants and external expertise.

## Org Template:
### 1. Token Design & Credit System
**Community-Template**: Reputation
**Token-Type**: (1) Governance Token. (2) Transferable
**Token-Properties**:
(1) Voting + Reputation (2) Reward/Payment for service
**Community-Creation**:
Users can easily create new communities. Each community is created identical to the other, following the *DiTo-Community Template*

### DiTo-Community Template:
**Community Funds (initVault)**: 96 000 DiTo
**Members Cap (memCount)**: 6-24 members / community*
**New-User Membership (lowCount)**:
Each DistributedTown’s User will receive 2000 DiTo
(initVault/48) when they join their first Community.

**Members TOT. Credit (diCount)**:
in the range [2000 (lowCount), 3840 (upCount)]
**lowCount**: initVault/48
**upCount**: initVault/25
**diCount**: 2000 ≥ diCount ≤ 3840

### 2. Skills & Gigs Management
**Skills (Types & Values):**
(1) Community Life (each skill) ==> 12 DiTo (defSkill) (2) At Home (each skill) ==> 6 DiTo (defSkill)
(3) Professional (each skill) ==> 24 DiTo (defSkill)
defSkill * XP = skillValue
Initial diCount / Member:
lowCount + sum skillValue

* **“Gig” / Tasks / Rewards:**
Members of a community can post tasks/gigs/helps that they need from others. They work as “open bounties” - where publishers specify (1) label (skill needed), (2+3) Title & Description of help needed, (4) reward amount in DiTo. For basic wallet administration and transactions:
1. lowCount = 2000 DiTo = min DiTo ownable per member
2. upCount = 3840 DiTo = max DiTo ownable per member
3. initCount = the amount of DiTo a user owns at the time of initiating a transaction
4. newCount = initCount - the cost for that action / interaction ==> newCount = initCount - Cost
- For a Gig to be published, a transaction (diTx) needs to be valid ==> diTx = True if newCount > lowCount

### 3. Voting Power & Approval Rate
- Voting Power (repCount) = diCount
- **Approval Rate**:
- To be approved, a proposal needs to have 50% + 1 of the votes ==> majQuota = (votCount / 2) + 1
- Each member can vote only once. Vote’s value = voter diCount ==> voteSum = Σ diCount(1→votCount)
- At least 50% + 1 of the community (memCount) must vote ==>
==> votCount > (memCount/2) + 1
- The total amount of the voters need to hold at
least the 25% of the total repCount assigned (diRep) ==>
==> voteSum ≥ diRep / 4
