For example: - When buying a Pokemon card, where will the card be stored? Book? Gallery? Vault? - With digital assets, folks can decide which chain they want to hold their collectables/assets on: May want to hold digital assets on different chains (Ethereum, xDAI, Polygon) - Working on creating bridges between chains to build interoperability ## DoinGud MVP - Kickstarting the network effects that could come later — what is the most important primitive essential to the MVP? - Want to be a platform where the people using it own everything, all the data — using [Ceramic Network](https://ceramic.network/) for this - First thing to do is to improve this UX, and in order to improve this need to make some architectural compromises - Initially have selected 16 creators for launch - Has a community/mobile app called Agora where users can upload photos and compete for prices - Will be doing a new sell mechanic — combination of 2 other sell mechanics - Bootstrap the community by having an exhibition on the side called *Origins Exhibition* - Will then be issuing *Creator Passes* to people bringing value, and then eventually open the community up to everyone - Enable *anyone* to post content, but also have *curators* within the community who are curating for galleries and auction houses - Curators can create focused galleries based on communities or topics - Down the road there will be a token distribution event that will help with bootstrapping the DAO ## Platform Walkthrough [Check out the video for a demo of the platform (still in progress!)] - First public preview! - Will be able to set up *Personal Profile* - Through DID — DoinGud doesn't own the profile, the user does - Can set what social impact causes/organizations you care about - Can view the impact you're seeing through donations - Aim to remove a lot of the friction that other platforms have ## Relationship Between Creators and Their Causes - Relationship between the creator and the cause — Are they separate? Are they collaborations? - In last few months, the NFTs selling for the most ETH are ones with social causes associated with them - DoinGud allows for the good and social impact to be *shown* — funds will absolutely go to the social impact organizations selected by the creator — no uncertainty about where the funds end up - Creators **collaborate** with the social causes - Creators have a fan base and social impact causes/organizations have a fan base → uniting the fan bases/networks increases reach - Healthier community being created - Enabling collaboration between different social causes - Most creators want to give back — DoinGud is a platform that facilitates this - Helps activist to make a living without much of the questions or potential conflicts from getting paid as an activist - Tools to empower creators and tools for society by creating net positive gains ## Manu's Story - Was an activitist in Venezuela and has always been an activist and wanted to create tools that elevate activists so that activists are able to make a living without friction and conflicts of interest - Through working for an oil company in early 20s, saw how humans value natural resources but exploit the Earth for profit - After a career change and move to Europe, saw that "the new type of oil is data" - Life experiences have led to where Manu is now — has been in the DAO space for a few years (MetaCartel was Manu's first DAO) - Realized that we can create tools that can empower creators and also those doing good for society - Before DoinGud, was working on a mutual aid platform called [Fight Pandemics](https://fightpandemics.com/) — created by 1800 worldwide contributors - Idea was to create a social DAO — most folks involved were not from the blockchain space - Were tracking contributions made on GitHub, Notion → - Capital would be the human capital that folks are contributing, but quickly realized that most folks didn't understand human or social capital and only understood financial capital - Eventually saw a way to create impact through NFTs ## DoinGud Impact Goals - Picking out the points to create monetary benefit that aren't focused on quick cash grabs or gains — there is focus on duplicate benefit on both sides of the market - Curators will also be impacted - Not strictly thinking only about our generation — thinking about the younger generation who are often more conscious - From the activist perspective: - In the NGO sector: - Donation money coming into NGOs often go into high salaries for folks managing the philanthropic money, but are delivering very little impact - "Rent seeking middle man problem" - DoinGud will have succeeded when there are no more non-profits or charities since these organizations are often not transparent - 501c3s in the US at least need to make their spending public, but the goal is to make all of the information public and available on chain - Working toward goal where the creator would be the benefitted organization - Moving toward a future web3 creators economy where creators are not a single individual - Shifting away from the notion that a creator is one individual toward collective success — we need a name such as Banksy - Current society not used to the idea of collectives, so we tend to focus and identify a single hero as the face and name - What will be done with the wealth, success, and value generated by collective creation? - NFTs are a "super powered way to deal with this perfect storm" - Intention to create a social platform and marketplace managed by creators who are doing good things for humanity - DoinGud want to create community and organization profiles (not just individuals) - How could DoinGud integrate [DAOhaus](https://daohaus.club/) into their ecosystem? - Integrating [Gnosis Safes](https://gnosis-safe.io/) for folks to collectively buy NFTs - How could DAOhaus integrate? - Co-creation is the magic sauce - We like to go in rabbit holes and deep dive, but co-creation is very rewarding - Having a creator DAO that can interact with DoinGud would enable co-creation and would also provide transparency - Social impact organization being a DAO or having a profile on DoinGud increases transparency about where social impact funds go - Be "active resistance" - "Unholy triangle of incentives" — BS of art and BS of third sector - How can web3 be the healing component? - We should *collectively decide* what this could look like - Curation is key to this as well → picking communities that we *know* will drive value and ones that have driven value in the past - There are more problems we need to solve beyond climate change, we need to come together to solve these as well - Sadly we're not coordinating or coming together to solve these problems — DoinGud working on incentivizing solutions ## Resources - [DoinGud YouTube: BreakinGud with Primavera De Filippi](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFUqoMJXtR8) - For folks interested in NFTs and legal implications, check out this interview with Primavera De Filippi
