# ☕
**Cuppa**

decentralised collab protocol

<aside class="notes">
Defi has given the world useful new alternatives for capital distribution.

Cuppa aims to do the same for effort.

Decent. primives are few, and overused. A signel we need to develop more.

Cohorts put human connection first

*(Funnels treat people like they're fungible)*

<aside class="notes">
Funnels are dehumanising.
They're currently centralised in every way.
They can't keep up to the rapid flux in a DAO.

Cohorts create surface for relationships to form.
And those relationships allow people to orient, learn & work.

## Safe spaces

orienting 🧭
learning 🕹️
getting work done 🔥

<aside class="notes">
There are different kinds of safe spaces. Cuppa R&D is on all of these, developing formats and guides.

### Decentralised onboarding

Existing members welcome new ones

<aside class="notes">
If we trust current participants to do the work, then we can trust them to on-board others.
</aside>

---


<aside class="notes">
Broader onboaiding capability, with the benefits of personal relationships.
</aside>

---

### Decentralised access control

Admins control onboarding for their tools
( and set chaining policies )

<aside class="notes">
Access control is the lynchpin that fights decentralisation everywhere.
</aside>

---


<aside class="notes">
This improves discoverablility, because you can see other people's keys and know where to go to get access.

*Would you like a cuppa?* ☕

<aside class="notes">
Onboarding ends up being about "proving yourself" which repells experienced people and adds stress for learners.

Oh no! Discord overload!

### Very few addresses that get payments from more than one DAO.
#### People join many DAOS on Discord,

(ie what is your economic worth to the DAO?)

DAOS today:

**ECONOMICS** served by **RELATIONSHIPS**

**PROCESS** over **PEOPLE**

# Most DAO onboarding is fully centralised!
(It can't keep up with the rate of change of the DAO itself.)

☕

**PEOPLE** over **PROCESS**

**RELATIONSHIPS** served by **ECONOMICS**

to shift onboarding from
**centralised** to **decentralised**

we need to shift our view from
**absolute** to **relative**.

---

This is a *decentralised* view of a DAO


Personal POV!

---

This is a *top-down*, *absolutist* view of a DAO


Hard to keep updated!

# Q: How do we decentralise onboarding?

---

# A: By decentralising access authority.

---

# POAP CHAINING

Access granted via POAPs


---

# A: By putting welcoming before functioning

# Welcoming games
Build trust relationships.

Built from cross-cultural exchanges

~~process culture~~ peer-support culture!
