Hello, everyone.
Hope everybody's happy and excited to be here.
I'm just waiting on a couple of people to join so that we could get started.
In the meantime, Kem still promised to sing for us while we wait.
So, Kem, take it away, mate.
What would you like to hear?
Anything.
Anything you'd like to say.
You got a request, man.
I can't pull something out of the hat like that.
Craig David, maybe?
Let me be culturally appropriate.
Anything.
Anything.
Anything.
Anything you'd like to say.
You got a request, man.
I can't pull something out of the hat like that.
Craig David, maybe?
Let me be culturally appropriate.
What, you want me to fill you in?
I can't do it.
You should have warned me.
You should have warned me.
I would have done it with a bit of warning.
I might have had to have something to kind of calm the nerves.
Right, right, right, right, right, right.
Oh, I see Kami's on.
Okay, I'm going to throw you in.
I can pull you in.
I can't do it.
I can't do it.
You should have warned me.
I should have warned me.
I would have done it with a bit of warning.
I might have had to have something to kind of calm the nerves.
Right, right, right, right, right, right.
I see Kami's on.
So, are you going to pass the mic, then, to Mark, then, in that instance, Kemp?
Sure is it.
Okay, guys, just about to get started here, so.
Okay, well, welcome, everyone, to today's space and the much-anticipated launch of Season
1 and also the CodeToken launch for DeveloperDAO.
So, this space is primarily set up just for us to talk about Season 1, talk about the CodeToken,
and publicly shout out the various people who've been involved so far.
Um, and just, you know, release good vibes as we're looking to, um, the, the rest of
Season 1.
Uh, cool who's for today is Kami.
So, Kami, and you, step up to the stage.
Hey, y'all.
Super excited.
Yeah, today's going to be super fun.
We're going to, um, set our agenda and we're going to keep everyone on time so that no one
goes over time, but that we still get through our full agenda with time for a Q&A.
Um, so maybe I can just go over the agenda briefly so you guys all kind of know what to
So, we'll start off with Natter giving an overview and kind of giving some opening remarks.
Then we'll talk about the highlights of Season 0 from some core members who've been, uh,
super involved with a lot of the Season 0 projects.
Uh, then we'll talk about developer DAO spinoffs and kind of that story.
We'll talk about foundation process and, you know, kind of catch people up if they haven't
been super involved in that process and talk about where that stands today.
Then we'll talk about the token allocation process.
We'll talk about code as a governance token and what that means for Season 1.
And then towards the end, we'll talk about how to actually claim your code.
And then finally, we'll talk about community building and how you, as maybe someone who's
been a little bit inactive in developer DAO, can reactivate and find new work streams to
get involved with.
Yeah, cool.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so we could just get started.
Um, we have Nader up on the stage.
And I mean, Nader needs no introduction, um, but definitely as the OG, um, of this whole
initiative, we'd just like to invite you up to stage and so that you could just speak about
the significance of this event and how, well, the many, many months that's, that has led
up to it.
So Nader.
Thank you for the intros.
Uh, can everyone hear me all right?
Okay, cool.
I'm excited about this.
This has been a long, long time in the making.
I know we've been discussing this literally since day one, and here we are almost an entire
year later.
And through the hard work of a lot of the people that are actually here, um, we're kind of like
at this point.
And I really just wanted to just show a deep, deep appreciation for all the work that they've
Um, because I personally have not been that involved in getting us from where we were on
day one until where we are today.
There's been like literally countless meetings, emails, um, research, just hard work.
A lot of it unpaid, um, a lot of it kind of like unappreciated in my opinion, because it's
kind of like just gone on behind the scenes stuff that will camp mark, uh, grow love.
Um, everyone like Tony, all these people, Eric, you know, have done.
Um, so I'm just like, you know, here to hopefully, you know, just be a part of like this launch,
but definitely, hopefully shining the light on all the work that they've done.
And as well as like just everyone in the community, I'm just super excited about this.
Nader, when you first made this contract and you were live streaming, I know, I feel like
you've been asked this before, but now here, like, did you ever think it would get to be
what it is today?
Um, I definitely didn't know what was going to happen.
I saw all the power of these communities that were like, you know, new, that were doubts
and just being a part of the few that I was a part of, it definitely showed me that it
was possible and, um, but you never know what's going to happen until you kind of just do it.
And, um, yeah, I definitely didn't think it was going to become this.
I was hoping it would become something.
And, um, you know, I tried to drive it in certain directions at first.
Um, some of those work, some of them failed miserably.
And so, um, but what's ended up happening is it's kind of like taken the life of its own
and it's just been cool to kind of, you know, be a part of some of that and actually just
watch a lot of it happen along from the sidelines almost.
Well, we started just a few minutes late, so, uh, we'll just get right going.
Also at any time, if any speaker has something to say, just go ahead and unmute and feel free
to interject, but we're going to move right down the agenda.
And I'm going to call Daewat and Mark to talk about highlights of season zero, um, provide
kind of some highlights.
So for people who maybe weren't around or weren't super active in the discord, can you kind of just
remind us of all of the dope things that happened in season zero, all the projects,
all the initiatives and anything else worth mentioning?
Um, yeah, I don't see Daewat up here so I can make some words.
Um, I think the, the founding story for developer now, I think is an interesting one, uh, mostly
because, uh, no leaders were appointed exactly.
There wasn't, uh, so much as a roadmap or that much of a game plan is not, or basically
saying like, let's try this thing together and see what happens.
And, uh, a bunch of folks who sort of saw the potential in what a group of like-minded, uh,
not just developers, but web three contributors could do together if they sort of, uh, governed
all of its, all of this organization's resources together.
Uh, I think a lot of people saw the potential in something at least interesting happening there.
Um, and so a lot of the, the formation of the Daewat, um, took place around a conversation
of like, what are we all doing here together?
What is it that, um, people are excited about and passionate about?
And, um, a number of sort of preformed and eventually more well-structured conversations
took place to chat about, uh, uh, you know, to, to help people hone in on these ideas that
what excited most of us were around open source software, public goods, free and open education
material and getting like helping the next wave of, of people, um, gain skills in this
new industry and gain jobs in this industry and make an impact in this industry.
So a lot of the, the buildup, uh, was around these ideas.
And I think it just took like, uh, sort of the right amount of time that it needed to
for, um, people to, uh, for us to like attract, uh, the right types of passionate people and
for, um, us to start sort of throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks and people
starting some projects up and seeing what interest was there, what, um, sort of what
fit our, our brand.
There's a number of sort of false starts that happened where, uh, projects were started up.
And, um, I guess we, as a community sort of, they, they fizzled out, I would say, because
we, as a community, um, more or less maybe unspokenly agreed that it didn't really fit our
ethos. Um, and yeah, our hard been, some hard, some easy lessons were learned along the way
about what we all wanted to collectively be doing.
So I would say, uh, a lot of the structure was, um, in, in which to coordinate and collaborate
within was, was born during this period.
In season zero, we had the launch of six guilds.
I'll see if I can rattle them off real quick and somebody correct me when I forget one.
Um, community, governance, uh, development, design, writers, and now I'm going to look
like the idiot.
Somebody jumped in with the fifth.
This is a pop quiz.
Marketing, business development.
I should have notes with me.
Um, but yeah, so we've got these, uh, these, these structures, these, uh, um, these pathways
for people to, to collaborate with them.
And now we've got more of the infrastructure around, um, how we work together, um, how rewards
are introduced now.
Thanks to the code token and a budgeting process and all of these things.
So I think so much of the hard work is not to say that there's not a ton of hard work
to come, but a lot of the hard work of setting up some of the logistics is, is done leading
up to today and we can really start to dig into a lot of exciting next steps.
And I'm, I'm excited to see a bunch of our, our projects and initiatives start to take
I mean, I, yeah, just having been a part of the survey, I guess, um, fairly early, it
really is amazing to see all of the things that have been built.
Um, and just see how the various communities have been formed.
I mean, it's, it's wild when I'm looking at like the number of people on the call, that
bunch of people here that I consider to be my friends.
And it was all entirely because, you know, we had a discord server and would meet and do
various, like try to, try to make and form a community out of nothing really.
Um, and I think one of the biggest things for me personally is looking at just how it
has, like we've had impact in terms of, even in the dev rel space, you've had a bunch of
people find jobs and opportunities just because they had developer DAO on their bio.
Um, so I think, um, we probably came for the vibes and we met a bunch of friends.
Um, but the only thing I'm still holding out for is the first developer DAO wedding.
Um, that's, that's, that's the only, that's the last thing I'm looking out for.
Um, but beyond that, um, there've been a lot of communities that have been formed and sub
communities that, um, have spun out of, of developer DAO.
Some of them are still within developer DAO.
And I think one of the most more, more notable ones is DevDAO women.
And we have the pioneer of DevDAO women on call here.
Uh, so Mary, um, yeah, just feel free to unmute and speak and tell us about what the process
has been like for you and for the sub community that you formed.
Uh, thank you for giving me the chance to speak.
Um, can you all hear me properly?
Um, so the DevDAO women community was honestly inspired from women build web three, which is
a spin-off, uh, Kami.
Like, I'm sure she'll talk about it more later after my conversation or a little bit, but I
joined DevDAO, uh, developer DAO back in September last year through Nader, uh, he gifted me, uh,
an NFT to join.
And through that, I've been involved with the community.
I've been doing a bunch of stuff around, uh, education team and yeah, like we get more
into that later, but I have noticed that we didn't have a particular space for the
for women within developer DAO.
So that made me wonder that what if like, we are not encouraging more people to join and
speak and talk about that idea.
So that's why I formed a team and that's what DevDAO women is.
It's a social layer within developer DAO and we're just maintaining as a social layer for
women and non-binary people.
So we hold our weekly sync and talk with our members.
Sometimes we end up onboarding a bunch of new people who just joined within the DAO and
we just guide them through different parts of the DAO that where they can get more involved
and they can, uh, they can just get started learning and everything and networking.
So it's a, it's like a nice space.
There's within developer DAO where they can have a safe space to talk and discuss, but there's
other parts of this is that it's not limited to only women and non-binary people.
We have our core member Luan and others like, um, we have LA roles for DevDAO women also.
So what we're hoping to do as our seasonal season one initiative is to maintaining the
social layer and also like bringing more discussion about diversity among Web3 communities.
Uh, so, uh, and teaming up with more women and non-binary communities, uh, it's a really
new team and it's gonna go bigger soon.
That's what I'm hoping.
And we all are hoping, but yeah, I guess that's it.
So I guess, uh, I guess I would love, uh, if Kami now can talk about women, women build
Web3 because I was inspired from that team that said DevDAO spin-off and I would love to
know more about that also from here.
Thanks, Miao.
Before I talk real quick, I just want to make a note and kind of tell the audience how amazing
it's been to see Miao grow in to their own that they are now.
And just like seeing Miao go from, you know, someone who was at least from my, you know,
perception and where I was standing, someone that was really shy and, and someone who kind
of, I just came off as really shy now started their own thing and is leading initiatives
in developer DAO and was a huge and still is a huge part of women build Web3 and the
conception and the direction of it.
So just another amazing side effect of what communities like this do when they like really
take the time and effort and energy to empower people who have the potential to be really
amazing contributors.
So love to see that.
Um, and yeah, women build Web3, women build Web3 is a spinoff of developer DAO.
Um, initially, I mean, I'm still part of developer DAO.
A lot of us are part of developer DAO and personally, I'm kind of working to try to get as many of us
in developer DAO as possible so we can have that overlap.
And really the vision for it was to have a space for really high talent and high caliber
female non-binary engineers to congregate and to work on their skills and to just build a
community of like-minded people because I kind of, you know, during my own journey, I
saw there's a lot of DAOs and communities that are focused on onboarding women and kind
of like bringing new people into the space, which is super needed and super necessary.
But when I was joining crypto, I was already, I already had a background in engineering and I kind
of felt like those communities just weren't really right for me because they were starting all the
way from, you know, number zero.
And I was like maybe at number two and there weren't really any places for women who are
already engineers to go and to kind of find their spot.
And a lot of our focus is around education and funding and we kind of believe that this
combination of things, both education and funding and, you know, creating opportunities
for you to actually sharpen your skills is what drives you to, you know, eventually either
land a job, start your own company, start your own project.
And so, yeah, I don't know if there's anything else that people want to know, happy to talk
about it.
But that's kind of the gist of it.
Yeah, cool.
And I guess I'll speak about Web3 Africa.
As with most things in developer DAO, everything leads back to Nada.
So Idris, who was the founder and a member of developer DAO, had a conversation with Nada a
while ago, I think during the open source conference in Lagos about starting something
that is Web3 Africa focused.
And I was messaging him on the side because I've been trying to put together an event in
well, somewhere, anywhere in Africa, really.
And this is during the bull market.
So it seemed really possible then.
But then he put me in touch with Idris and our focus since that time has been basically
the same thing as developer DAO and Women Build Web3 is on education and open source software
and public goods in particular.
And we've been able, we've been in the community building phase where we have a bunch of people
that we now, we now looking to work together with.
And yeah, I guess I could announce it on the call is that we're looking at setting up a bunch
of speed run Ethereum events, IRL, in the next couple of, well, for the, for the remainder of the year.
And we got support from Boston and a bunch of other people to be able to launch that program
so that we could have actual on the ground IRL training in Africa.
And so, so those are just some of the initiatives that we've seen kind of emerge from developer DAO in the last period of time.
Um, but now if, I mean, I'll, I'll just take you all back to how this whole process started.
And, um, uh, when we started, I think, um, it's almost, we almost remiss not to mention web, web, uh, Web3Con,
which forced, well, which kind of pushed us towards having, having a interface that we could use to interact
with the world, basically.
And I'll invite Kemp to speak a lot about what that looks like now, um, with respect to the developer DAO
foundation, its origin, and just to give people an idea of, um, the work that's, that has gone into
developing a interface for us as a developer DAO.
Thanks T. Yeah, super excited to, uh, to be with everyone. Um, I can't remember exactly who said,
but it's awesome to see so many people up here that are all like now really, really good friends,
people that I care deeply about and have contributed, uh, an awful lot of their own time and energy to
kind of getting the DAO to, to where it is today. Um, on, on that journey and kind of like with the
ambitions that we had as a, as an organization, um, interfacing with the real world, um, was always
going to be a requirement. Uh, and also it's deeply important to us that we can provide some,
uh, kind of limited liability to our participants who are contributing to the DAO, as well as sort of
comply with, um, um, legislation that exists around, um, um, taxation, uh, and, uh, crypto tokens in
general. So many people may know that the, uh, the space for, um, trying to legalize, if that makes
sense, uh, a DAO is, is still kind of rapidly evolving, evolving and in, in, in very, very early
stages. Um, but, um, the path that we have chosen to take, which, um, is now unlocking kind of a lot
of the ambitions, uh, hopefully of, of, of folks for season one to kind of increase the kind of impact
we can have around education and, and, and kind of just elevating people in the space is following in
the footsteps of, uh, some other great organizations, um, such as ENS, NounsDAO, uh, Gitcoin, uh, and several
others. Um, and we have deployed a, uh, a foundation, uh, in the Cayman Islands to be able to legally
represent the DAO in the meat space. So we primarily have gone down this route because this structure
allows us to, um, kind of have an entity that supports the, uh, not profit and philanthropic
focus of our mission by having kind of like no beneficial owners, um, and being able to, to
structure the way that the foundation works in order to make sure that it's, um, uh, primarily
the, the DAO that gets to influence direction and decision-making. And that's been a, a very long
and very, um, uh, frustrating at times process, but also super enlightening and, and very, very
glad that we've all managed to get it over the finish line and, uh, super hopeful now, as
I said, that that kind of unlocks us on, on basically all fronts to be able to, um, move
forward as a, as a, as a DAO as a whole, uh, and get those benefits that I mentioned before,
but also support and unlock groups within the DAO to kind of deliver on the, uh, the goals
that they've set themselves that will help us achieve that mission. And yeah, the, the future
is now looking, uh, always has, but it is now looking kind of immediately sort of very exciting
and, and kind of really, really glad to, to have got over that, over that milestone.
Yeah, I just wanted to, uh, follow up because I didn't get a chance to speak after hearing, uh,
Yowie and Cammie and Tony. I think one of the things that's been really the coolest to see is
like all of these sub communities form within the DAO and also new communities completely spin out of
the DAO. And I think it's been just a great place to come and build a really strong network from
scratch or just to strengthen your existing network. And then to kind of go out there and like do your
own thing and pull people along with you. And yeah, it's just, I should think one of the things
that I didn't really expect to see that has been really gratifying to kind of see happen are these,
all of these communities that get spun out.
Yeah. On that note, another thing that's been super cool to see is the support from people in
the DAO on any of these like spin out or sub projects. And I think what's really cool about
our community is like, no one sees it as a zero sum game where it's like, Oh, why are you leaving?
Why are you taking people? Why are you doing your own thing outside of what we're doing?
Like no one has ever had that type of attitude. And I didn't even know, you know, I kind of just
became aware that this is an attitude that some people have in other communities recently.
And like Natter and Kemp and literally just everyone in developer DAO that I interface with,
Rahat, Daiwa, Mark, you know, Kanna, Krenz, everyone, everyone has just been over the top supportive
and the stuff that we've been doing and always down to share, always down to participate.
And I think that's something while I'm learning that I think it's something that's really special
and unique to our community is like, we really are, I would say a close knit community, despite
not everyone knowing each other, having like a one to one relationship to everyone.
I think it's really cool that we're all super like supportive and have this like abundance
for what, what we can do together. Yeah, I think I've seen a lot of communities and organizations
and DAOs kind of go into being a DAO. And one of the value propositions that they talk about
is like, oh, we're going to go and we're going to build out these products and we're going
to sell things. And like everyone in the community will be a customer or they'll be a supportive
person. And I think like the general idea was there, but, but often like you can't really
say, okay, I'm going to build an application and I'm going to find enough like of a user
base to kick off from within a community. But instead, I think the way that we've seen
other communities kind of come out actually works a lot better because people have actual
skin in the game and they're actually able to build out their own personal network and
their own career, you know, out of it without really having to invest, you know, actual money.
Instead, you're investing your time. And, you know, it's kind of like that idea that I saw
early about like, you know, a year ago when I started learning about DAOs that I thought was kind
of interesting has kind of like morphed into something slightly different. But yeah, I don't
know. I'm sure there's a lot of other communities that are probably doing similar things, but it's
just been called to kind of see again.
Yeah. Yeah. But I guess specifically for people like me who are in the global South, where access
to opportunities are not really there and you don't have, and you don't have links to people
that you could actually talk to or, or who are just connected globally. I remember there was a time
I send resumes for about six months just because, and I could do the work, but it, it all comes down
to the networks and the opportunities and the way that the world has been structured before.
But I guess the biggest potential I see inside of DAOs is the fact that we could be connected to
global opportunities. You could be connected to a, to a, to a global community and you could leverage
that to be able to change your life and change the life of your family. And that's, that's something
that I think I do make a plug for because it is really, really important, especially for persons
who are outside of the traditional tech hubs.
Hell yeah, we could have a whole space and we, we should, we should have a whole space
on like everyone's life who's been changed through the DAO, like landing jobs and love
to hear. Um, I hate to be the bearer of the clock, but I want everyone to be able to do
their Q and A. So we're going to move right along down to, uh, Will and Alex, uh, giving
us the 411 on token allocation process. So everyone can kind of be on the same page for how we arrive
to the current token allocations. Absolutely. Jim, Jim. Yeah. So, you know, it's been a few
months since everybody voted on this. So just kind of a quick refresher, um, you know, from,
from an allocation standpoint, um, you know, what we did was we really wanted to look at
everything that had come before us, um, and then take into consideration kind of the uniqueness
of developer DAO. I think we've heard a lot about the origin story. You know, we were not
a, um, a company that was decentralizing into a DAO. There wasn't like a group of five people
that got together at the beginning and created this thing. It was just from Nodder who released
this token contract out there and then people started hopping in. And so all of that really
came into consideration when we, when we, um, worked on the allocation and how we got to
kind of the final numbers we have today. And so just real quick, um, there's 50% of the
tokens. Um, and then for current members and early contributors, they got 35% of the tokens
and that was broken down into about 25% to, um, NFT holders and, um, a little bonus to people
who participated in governance super early on or, um, collected some of the PO apps for
some of the first town halls we did. And then 10% of that 35% was through a quarter named
circle, um, which I'll touch on here in a second if Alex isn't up. And then, uh, beyond that
10% was set aside for the founding team and advisors, and then 5% to, um, get coin, uh, for,
uh, as our partners. So that was kind of the total allocation there and, and how we got there.
Uh, I mentioned that 10%, uh, to early contributors. And so we ran a coordinate circle for a lot of
the work that went on, uh, you know, before we knew what this DAO was going to be. And, uh,
it wasn't very structured. It wasn't, um, obvious that it was going to continue on. And so people
just kind of jumped in and kept working on things. And, um, and so we were able to use a coordinate
circle. If you were not a part of that, that allowed our members to, um, give allocations of
the token based on the contributions that they had made. And then we passed that through governance as
well. And that's how we got to kind of our final numbers here. So, yeah, like I said, um, you know,
really, we, we, we really, really wanted to think a lot about the origin of Bella Burdow and, um, where
we started when we came up with this allocation and we're excited about the, uh, the treasury that,
you know, the code that's in the treasury so that we can, um, as we move forward here, kind of,
you know, reward activity in season one and beyond that. So, um, yeah, absolutely. Anybody else want
to hop in there? Yeah. Like I, I just wanted to add, I think the, where we got to on distribution
feels, uh, felt good and, and, and hopefully, um, most folks in the, in, in the DAO, um, would agree
with that. Um, one thing I think that gave us confidence early on, and you mentioned briefly
there, Will, was about, um, Gitcoin's kind of trust and belief in us at a very, very early stage,
uh, to kind of enter this mutual grant with us and kind of gave us the foundation to, and the
confidence to kind of like lean into the DAO as well. So, um, we don't have, uh, any of the Gitcoin
folks here today, but hopefully on sort of upcoming spaces, but yeah, um, as well as everyone in the
community that hopefully feels like, uh, they've been, been recognized and rewarded, massive shout
to, to Gitcoin and Scott and co for, for kind of giving us that, that sort of signal for belief
sort of super early on. Yeah, Kim, thanks for, thanks for highlighting that. That was a massive
point, um, for that. Nodder, thanks for your work there as well. Um, and, and yeah, so like I said,
we're definitely excited about kind of where we go from here, even if you, um, you know, weren't a
part of that early, um, coordinate circle, you know, hopefully you've, you've, uh, found a place
in, uh, season one to, to get involved and to start earning some, some code tokens. And if not,
you can hit me up and we've got some work in the governance guild. So.
Yeah. Yeah, that sounds really, really cool. Um, and I, I do want to big up, um, just all of the
work that's been going on inside of the governance guild just to get us ready. Could you, could you
probably just, um, tell us what that has looked like, like from the governance guild's perspective
in terms of getting us ready for this whole process, getting us ready for the code token launch
and, um, um, the specific, uh, the, the smart contract development?
Yeah, absolutely. Um, so yeah, I think everybody knows that we've been using the NFT for governance.
We, we wanted to move beyond that, um, for, you know, this fungible token that we now know has the
name of code. And, uh, you know, this is going to let people continue to earn governing power as they
contribute to the DAO, something we care a lot about. And so, um, you know, we, we, like Nader said,
had come up with this plan a long time ago and a lot of work went into it. Um, and kind of
summarizing the work we, we needed to get the governance process ready for, uh, the change to
this new token. So, um, a proposal, a few back, I believe it was P13 was our developer DAO improvement
proposal, um, formalization. And so this kind of shows how we're going to use the new token going,
going forward. We're going to be switching away from the NFT as a way to calculate voting power
into this new token we've just launched today. Um, so as the next proposal comes out, you'll see
more information about that. Um, we've also, uh, added in a way where we have on chain delegation.
And so moving forward, we could support things like having delegates, um, where maybe, you know,
there's a period in your life where you're not as involved in the DAO and you want to delegate your
voting power to somebody who is more involved. You know, the plan is to be able to do that in the
near future here. And then lastly, about the work that went in, um, yeah, I just want to give a
massive shout out, shout out to, um, a number of people that I won't name right now to, to make
them targets for, um, the development on the, on the code project. But, um, one person I will name
is, uh, Martin goes by NBM. Um, not sure if he's able to make it today, but really championed the
project to get the code claim site done, uh, in addition to the, the contract site. So, um,
yeah, so, you know, just, I think there, we had over, um, you know, 12 plus contributors to,
uh, the code contracts, to the code claim site, um, to the audit process on the contracts,
just so much work went into this and, you know, much of it did fall outside of that, uh, coordinate
circle, uh, reward period. So a lot of this work, you know, has been done without any expectation
of reward or payment or anything like that. So I want to give a big shout out to those members.
Hey, well, for people who maybe aren't deep in the discord or having been active, where can they go,
uh, to go check out these proposals and, and where they can kind of go read about the changes to
governance? Yeah, absolutely. Um, the place I go the most is to our forum. And so you can get there
just by going to developerdow.com and clicking the forum link, or it's just forum.developerdow.com.
We have a whole proposal section there, um, tags, such as kind of official proposals that you can
click and read those. Um, you could also go to our snapshot, uh, link. You can just go to, um,
snapshot. I think it's.com, right? Somebody can correct me. Nope. Snapshot.org and then search
for developerdow. And that's where you will see all the official proposals that have passed.
Awesome. Thank you. Okay, cool. And now passing it on, um, to Eric on the token claim process.
Yes. Um, I, I, I don't actually have been involved in that. Um, it's mostly will that has been around
that. Yeah, I'm, I'm fine to talk, talk a little bit about it, Eric, if that's cool with you.
Sure, please. Awesome. Yeah. So we, uh, have launched this, we put it out in an announcement,
both on Twitter and in the discord announcement. Um, you can find those links and go to
claim.developerdow.com. And, um, if this is your first time claiming tokens, what you will see
is you will be, um, asked to connect your wallet there, you know, you'll connect your wallet. Um,
the, the website's going to check and see if you're eligible for any of these tokens.
And I talked a little bit about it in the allocation, but just in case anybody's here
that hasn't participated throughout the entire, um, time or might not know exactly who's eligible,
um, you, you'll know if you're eligible. Um, and so if you minted an NFT and had it,
when, um, we took the snapshot, which was when all of the NFTs were minted out of the
smart contract. Um, so if, if you had held the NFT at that point, then you would be eligible
if you participated in that, um, you know, in any of our governance early on, uh, you know,
really early on before season zero started or collected any of those PO apps. And then finally,
if you were involved in the coordinate space, you know, that is how you're going to be eligible
for the tokens that we're talking about today, but no worries. You can just go to the website,
connect all it, and it's gonna tell you if you are eligible or not. At that point, um,
you can click claim transaction and that will start up a transaction through MetaMask or however
you've connected your wallet, which will send, and you will claim those tokens. So pretty straightforward.
Um, definitely kind of be vigilant about, uh, you know, what you're doing and what you're
interacting with. Um, you know, we'll continue to use the announcements and discord and the,
the Twitter accounts, um, to, to send out announcements. Um, we've also had the, uh,
addresses of both the code token itself and the code code claim contract, which is what you will
interact with to claim the tokens. And so just, you need to be double checking that you're interacting
with those, um, contracts and you will be good to go. But pretty straightforward process. I think I
clicked two buttons and then sent the transactions and got my tokens. So that's how the process works.
Um, yeah, if I'm missing anything, somebody else speak up.
Nice. Okay, cool. Looks like, um, you got everything again, as always, if anyone has anything to add,
just feel free to unmute or raise your hand. Um, scurrying on over to our last little section of the
day before starting some Q and a is Kanna and wise tie. Actually, I don't even know if I've ever
said that name out loud. I don't know if it's wise tie. Sorry, time. I'm saying your name wrong.
Um, you nailed it. Okay, great. I never say that name out loud. So
but nice to hear your voice for the first time, Ty. Um, they're going to talk to us about community
building and engaging with developer DAO. And I know kind of a common thread I hear amongst developer
DAO members is like, no, I got the NFT, but I haven't really been active. I don't really know
where to start. The discord may be overwhelming. There's a lot of channels. So if you're here,
hopefully this little section will kind of help you align yourself with what you can do if you've
been inactive. And what are the new work streams engaging in? Yeah, so, um, it's been a very
interesting ride. Um, I guess I would say like during season zero and, uh, the off season of,
uh, season zero. And I initially, I really just spearheaded the, uh, MVP of our onboarding process,
uh, by doing one-on-ones with a lot of people. We galvanized like a lot of our numbers, a handful,
maybe eight. And we started doing these one-on-ones to really one onboard them into developer DAO,
I'll show them what's going on. Uh, you know, uh, a personalized approach. And, um, this was super
fun because we really got to discover like for ourselves, like the commonality amongst all
members. And that is that we are all looking to learn. We're all looking to connect and we're all
looking to build. And this is really what began our process with onboarding and like what we aim to,
um, I guess, serve our members with, like create a process where, uh, we get to give them those three
things as smoothly as possible. And, um, this is what we're building out right now. And so what we
have currently in order for you guys to like get those things is number one, um, attend a group onboarding
call. If you're new or if, um, you know, you've been a part of, uh, developer DAO for a while,
and, uh, maybe you haven't gotten involved, this is a great, uh, place to gain context and to have
direct, like call to actions to get involved with DD. Um, so yeah, a group onboarding call. And then, um,
um, uh, we also have, uh, we'll also help you schedule like, uh, your, or subscribe to your
guild, attend your, uh, guild weekly sync. These are the things that we go over during that call.
And, um, also, uh, we also have like workshops as well, um, that, uh, uh, Roadpads and Kinster host,
uh, for you to get involved in terms of like education and whatnot. And yeah, these are the
things that we have right now and would love to hear from, uh, uh, Kanna in terms of like the things
that, uh, we'll be implementing, uh, in the future. Yeah, of course. Thanks, Ty. Also, thanks everyone.
It's great to be here. Um, so mostly like the work that I've been doing with a couple of different
teams in developer DAO is like, how can we like be more mindful and intentional when it comes to
building out our community and our community culture? Um, so two of the main areas where like
I've been doing that work is with like the access one program, um, which we'll be launching sometime in
the future, the near future, and then also working, um, as the product team lead and building a new
pathway, um, for both season and aspiring PMs to both have a community hub and then an educational
pathway. Um, so specifically when it comes to access one, um, that program is focused on, it's a public
good, public goods initiative focused on funneling, funneling underrepresented people into developer
DAO. Um, so basically the goal is to, uh, foster diversity, equity, empowerment through several
different pathways. So also for people who are non-members, um, we'll be working with Nader and
kind of, um, um, with our already established scholarship program to kind of offer opportunities
for people to get membership NFTs if they don't already like have the resources to purchase an NFT.
Um, just seeing if I got everything. Um, so then also when it comes to access one, um,
also we're looking to like partner with web three organizations and tech companies who have a
mission focused on underrepresented groups just so we can create a more inclusive space. Um, and just
what I've noticed over my time, like being in developer DAO and like being able to intend also
a few in-person meetups is that a lot of people do create connection and community. So just also
finding ways where we can create, um, just very meaningful and valuable ways for people to connect
and, you know, spend time with like-minded people. So that's just a little bit on my end in terms of
what I've been doing with the rest of the team to foster more community building. Um, so yeah.
Amazing. Amazing. Thank you all so much for the awesome, awesome work you guys are doing in that
space. Really, really excited to hear about what all of those initiatives would look like,
even as you begin to lean into season one now. Um, we're really excited and just amazing. Again,
just another testament to the huge amounts of work that actually goes on inside of developer DAO.
Um, and various people who, um, we don't even know who they, who they, who they are IRL and they keep
coming and they keep helping us build. And I'm really excited just to, um, meet new people and,
you know, who work really, really honored to have worked alongside all of you. Um, and I don't know if
I'm wrong, but it looks like we're ahead of time, which is really cool. Um, and so I see the VC5
crew, um, is in the, is in the audience and I see a bunch of other people. Um, and before we,
before we, um, turn over the stage to you guys, and if anybody wants to speak, um, uh, please just
request to speak and, um, I will, um, Tammy or I will, will invite you up. Or if somebody else wants to
see the speaker spot and head back down to the audience, that's also cool. Um, so that we could
allow other people to come on. Um, and while we're waiting for the new speakers, um, I just have a
couple of housekeeping announcements. I think, but I think Neda has something to say, so you could go
ahead. Oh, nothing important. Oh, okay. Cool. All right. Yeah. So just a couple of housekeeping announcements.
Um, we have, um, we have a season one tutor space that we schedule for the same time next week, um,
where we will specifically be going into the various initiatives that will be part of season one. There's
a lot of things that people have been working on. Um, and we want to give, um, we actually want to
dedicate time so that that could be discussed and understood better. And so, uh, we'll have a
Twitter space in the future and we also have a Twitter space around meme, uh, we are on a meme
competition for season one. Um, and that'll be announced anytime now. So just, um, check out your
developer dial. Well, I would say, make sure that you chip, that you, uh, enable notifications if you
want to be a part of that from, from developer dial. Um, and yeah, there'll be a reward at the
end of it. Um, so it's just those two items to Twitter space and we have a meme competition coming
up. Um, anybody else have something to say on the housekeeping front before we start asking
questions or comments? I think Eric has something to say. Yeah. Just a personal comment. Um,
I have been, um, this has been a, a really nice experience for me. I, I have grown a lot and learn
a lot, uh, from all my companions here. And from that, I am very thankful for, for that, but also I,
I, I have seen that this process is not only, um, not only happened to me. I have seen, uh, plenty of
my companions, uh, grow, um, and become bigger, uh, and better. Uh, so it's starting from, uh,
Ken, Kami, Daiwat, uh, Miyawi, as you said before, um, Jasa, uh, James, sorry. Uh, and all of them is,
it has been a really, really nice, uh, nice to see that. And, uh, I am very grateful for that. So,
yeah, Jasa. Aww. Eric, why are you cutting onions? Who's cutting onions? I know, who's cutting
onions? That is so cute. You're gonna make me cry on Twitter. I think Kempi has had his hand up for a
minute. Kempi, what's up? I think I'm gonna cry too. Oh, Kempi! Eric, Eric's, Eric's my guy. I love him.
Um, yeah, completely echo everything Eric just said. Amazing, mate. You're brilliant. I love you.
Um, the only other housekeeping thing I would mention is access to the discord is now ownership
of the NFT and holding at least 400 governance tokens. So the mechanism for doing that is, is via
collab land that, that has been updated now. So you should be able to get in, but, uh, these things
aren't always super quick to, to get working. So if you get stuck trying to join, if you're not a
member already in the one section, just let us know and we'll try and debug it and make sure that
you're, uh, you're not, you're not stuck for too long. Great. Okay. I see a lot of people have their
hands up. So, um, we'll recap everything we talked about and then we'll open this up for Q and A.
We'll open this up to cute heart to hearts, anything you want to share. So we talked about, you know,
how DD started, how we got here, highlights of season zero, all of the guilds that got started,
all of the spinoffs and DevDAO that's part of developer DAO, uh, Web3 Africa, Women Build Web3,
how those came to be. Kemp and Will and Alex talked to us about foundation, token allocation,
coordinate, uh, code as a governance token and what that means for season one. We talked about how to
claim your code, which again, uh, you can go to claim.developerdow.com and you'll have to connect
your wallet. Again, be sure that you know what you're interacting with. And I think we'll provide
some resources for how to, you know, some written resources for how to do that. And then finally,
Canon and WiseTai talked to us about how you can get re-engaged as part of developer DAO if you've been
maybe not that active and what some of the new work streams look like. And now I see a bunch of people
have their hands up, so I'll just go in the order that I saw them in starting with Deshaun.
Hey, really quickly before I hop on this meeting, I just wanted to say I love you all. Uh,
uh, developer DAO has changed my life. It has given me so many new friends. It has changed not only my
life but my family's life by allowing me to secure a new role full-time in Web3. Everything that you
all are doing is amazing. It's cutting edge. You're all beautiful people. I'm really glad to see what
this has become. And I can't wait to see what it will be in the future. Um, y'all are crushing it.
Keep killing it. I love you all. Thank you.
That was so cute. Okay, next I think, uh, wow. Um, Akana had her hand up first.
Hey, I was just doing some housekeeping. Um, is there any way we can just tweet out the devdow women
and access one Twitter after this? And also just shout out to Deshaun because I got to meet Deshaun
in June. So that was exciting.
Yeah, totally. I think you as a speaker, you can share tweets in this space. So feel free to
go ahead and share the accounts. And then, uh, maybe Rahat.
Oh, Rahat, can you?
Did it work now?
Yeah, now we can hear you.
Okay, cool.
Hey, thank you for letting me speak. I just wanted to say that y'all are freaking awesome. I don't know
if I can curse here. Um, and yeah, I mean like when, uh, Natter like first kind of like opened up that
stream and I joined, I didn't know what to kind of expect. And like this, just like joining this
community is the entire reason that like I was able to leave a job that like I just did not enjoy
and, uh, come into the Web3 space and like actually get in and do my like dream job. Um, I don't think
that wouldn't really possible like that quickly without this community. Um, so thank you for starting
this and like, just thank you to like everybody who's been just like an amazing part of my journey.
Y'all are awesome. Um, like Tony, I'll just like DMing you and asking you for random advice,
Mandy as well. And just like everyone who I've just been interacting with in this community,
like y'all are the reason why, um, I got to where I am today. Um, also, I don't know if Naz is here,
but like Naz is the one who like introduced me to my current employer. So I love you, Naz.
You're amazing. I don't know if you're here, but yeah, thank you, uh, for just making this
community so amazing. Hey, did you meant, did you say that you watched the original stream?
I did. Yeah. Dang. That's dope. True OG.
I think I bought it like right after you, um, deployed it too.
Yeah. We should probably find the first person who bought it and you know, there should be special
code for that person. If not, I'll send you USDC. Um, uh, yeah, uh, we have Manny, but before we
continue, I'd like to ask persons who no longer have anything to say to see their space so that we could
have more people get a bunch of people who have requested to speak and can't because I think we
have the max here. So, um, don't make me be that guy. Um, great. All right. Um, let's continue. I think Manny
had something to say. Yeah. Hey guys. Um, I think, uh, a town hall or a spaces wouldn't be a spaces without
me asking questions. Um, um, the first question I have is cause obviously I want to thank you guys,
but I always want to be respectful for everybody who's on this call as well. And just kind of going
forward and being on topic. Um, I, again, super grateful for developer DAO. I praise it every day
of how people get into it as well, which I love. Uh, my question, I think Kemp already answered it,
but just want to confirm like as of today, can we start giving tokens out to get more people into it?
Um, two are is Twitter space is a thing that we're going to continue doing because I love that aspect.
And three is, do we have a roadmap or something that we can pin on top of this tweet, uh, of the spaces
to say, Hey, this is what potentially what the roadmap looks like or where people should go to
look at a roadmap with token. So those are, those are my three questions.
Um, yeah, Kemp might have a little more context in some of those answers. I know that we are,
yes, going to start using, um, the new mechanism for DAO participation for a lot more sponsorships.
And that's like probably one of the most exciting, important things to me that we're going to be
doing. I'm not sure about the answers to some of those other questions there.
Manny asked, are we going to keep doing Twitter spaces? Yeah. We, we said that next week, there'll
be one focusing on season one, uh, goals and projects. So that is, uh, maybe I'll add it to
the space if I can find the tweet or if someone's tweeted about it, but next week we'll be meeting here
again to talk about season one. And then what was your other question? If you can start giving out
code? Well, well that was, yeah, I believe so. I think that Nader already answered that,
but it was more, do we have like a roadmap or a link that where people should find out more
information of a roadmap as to how code is going to be used kind of going forward and what, what
that kind of looks like for potential projects, et cetera. Or if, uh, it's just the forum.
Yeah, maybe Kemp or Mark or anyone can jump in, but I think
so far we talked about is you can go to the forums. Yeah. And, and check out like the proposals
that have been passed. And is there another place where people should go to look at roadmaps
specifically around code? Uh, there is not yet, mate. There is, uh, the snap, the forum or the
snapshot proposal, which kind of outlines the season one high level, like DAO level objectives. And then,
um, uh, a breakdown in all of the individual budget proposals of what different projects and guilds
are doing, but having somewhere where that's maybe easier to digest is probably a good shout.
Um, and yes, Manny, if you send folks code or if anyone receives over 400 code, uh, I think I've
just updated the strategy on collab land correctly. So anyone who holds 400 code should be able to join
the server. Please let us know in the help channel in the welcome category when you join, if you're having
any problems. Yeah. Awesome. Related to roadmaps. There's, uh, number one, um, Kemp and I went back
and forth on overloading the marketing of, of today. Um, so at this morning there's a, um, blog post
published on mirror that describes the code token launch or the code token specifically. Um, but a
second post also went out, which is, um, titled the season one launch. And, uh, that provides a little
bit more context on season one. Um, we're going to make a more focused effort on what's contained
within season one in the next week. Um, as we're, uh, already past the hour here, um, we didn't want
to try to cram too much into this, but I think the other like short and satisfying answer for me about
developer DAO's roadmap, uh, especially as it pertains to code as well, is that, uh, we have a budgeting
process whereby anybody in the DAO, um, can, um, describe what it is they want to accomplish,
put forward a, uh, proposal, um, describing how they, how their project or their initiative aligns
with the DAO, uh, what resources they need to make it happen and, um, and go through the budgeting process.
So like the, the roadmap is very much driven entirely by, by the community, by putting forward
those, those budgets and making sure that they align with, uh, with our ethos. Um, so yes,
if you want to look at the roadmap for at least season one, um, it probably doesn't make that much
sense to project much further than that. Season one is, is going four months and then we've got an off
season for a month. Um, if you want to see those, uh, one of the most recent, uh, if not the most recent
ratified snapshot vote is the season one specification, which includes, uh, a bunch of that budgeting information.
Awesome. Perfect. Thank you for that. Um,
T-I-N-N-T-I-N-N-T-O-N-T-O, whatever.
Nick, uh, I go to my Nintendo.
Hey Nick.
That's my first initial last name. Uh, so as some of y'all may know me here, uh, I'm one of the initiative
leads or was, I don't know, I took a step back, but I just wanted to, um, say congratulations first
and thank you to all the people who put in work in the off season. Um, I worked with a lot of you for a
many many hours to make this happen
so deeply profoundly proud
of all of you and satisfied
that we finally got here
congratulations everyone
and also for those of you that are
mentors that's starting up
check your messages coming soon
we're literally
the cutest this is the Q&A session
and we're all just like I love you guys
we're so cute
I don't see any other
hands but I think that might be because you're not
they call us
I don't want to finish that line
I was like oh okay
we're raising hands up in here I'll do it
yeah this is
an OG town hall situation
so if I don't
say anything you know
Manny doesn't say anything
then what's really
happening here
yeah yeah yeah
it's Manny or Steph
and if you're lucky
you get booed
today's our lucky day
is it not
from the beginning
and the thing is crazy
I'm like well I don't know
how to think
I was like
Nana put out a tweet
and then we went to the
ether scans
and just did the thing
wasn't no
tutorial about it
that kind of thing
and he said
I learned how to make a doubt
and we were like
sounds fun
and somebody was talking about the difference
between launching
and landing
because you can ship stuff
or commit it to your
whatever it is
but this is a
land situation
especially for
everybody in the background
legal part
which if you find out
that if you're in the DAO
there's really no background
I mean crazy enough
I knew about the legal
I was involved at some point
and it's so crazy
because people are like
well what do you do
in developer DAO
and I'm like
you're just there
and you do the stuff
that needs to be done
so any of the stuff
that needs to be done
is done by everyone
before guilds
just just the general channel
us hanging out
and then like
you know what
we should have a
couple guilds
some organization here
and now it's like
oh there's so many channels
as opposed to
everybody hanging out
in general
so I am going to be cute
like Kimmy said
and shout out
to the Kempster
it's always so funny
when people say
do you know Kempster
or they say Kempster
something something
I'm talking like
you talking about Kemp
but that's because
I don't say his whole
ether dress
that's like saying
your government name
and I'm not
doxing anybody else
I don't know
how that works
squad goals
shout out to that
if y'all thought
I was going to say
something informative
a question
that was relevant
none of that happened
and I was on the phone
with social security
I was like
oh my god
I missed all of it
but I wanted
but really
the landing of it
a discord
does not make a doubt
a structure
where you can go
to find out
well what really
and not just that
but people who are
launching
making this
an entire
community effort
not a really
it's so funny
because from the
beginning
he was like
okay cool
I'm not going
to be involved
okay I'm not
going to be involved
okay I'm not
going to be involved
and all this
stuff was like
whenever you have
to say you're not
being involved
it's because
you're involved
yeah shout out
to everybody
I came up here
to be cute
and then I'll go
back to the
downstairs
like they said
the downstairs
or the basement
that's it
even explain
my appreciation
involvement
throughout this
experience
you bring
such like
an important
perspective
with your
engineering
background
companies
that you've
worked with
your voice
and a lot
discussions
that we've
and I just
wanted to
thank you
hear your
voice again
if that's
well yeah
without the
town halls
and I'm like
oh they got
this thing
called twitter
chitter and
chatter over
was working
though but
that's what
people like
I'm seeing you
web 2 girls
are not the
web 3 girls
I don't know
but we're not
the nft girls
like it's
it's a whole
different thing
yeah it's
it's cool
and so I'm
to have that
human element
like to have
that touch
because I think
that people who
later from
the start
it started to
disconnected
okay we're
talking to
the people
from there
it's like
the announcements
that's what's
happening
proposals
and everybody
who knows
I just say
something
that it's
like well
volunteered
first talking
but at the
same time
like if I'm
somebody will
but at the
same time
it's releasing
the thing
if you have
something that
you would like
be better
if there's
something
like shout
like yeah
it was like
really trying to
see how this
thing goes
well okay
I'm doing
just telling
the thing
right and
just fall
to be like
like then
tied with
the onboarding
because instead
asking me
this is um
everybody's
instead of
asking me
the drawings
and stuff
the background
because we
like keep
on picking
over again
like look
onboarding
five people
I said how
you doing
like well
people from
the introductions
letting them
right like
unscalable
still you
unscalable
the beginning
always say
we're early
we've been
early for
but that's
because the
you're doing
something like
different
shout out
to the whole
with heart
if you know
and all the
other names
that have
been mentioned
for the people
really pushed
along the way
because I don't like
being a hidden
figure like
that you know
that movie
that you know
that was movie
stuff like
that stuff's
people their
flowers now
right like
and doing as
much of that
as possible
because they
thought you
over time
whoever said
that's it
this was just
a fitting
to season
because I
don't think
have been
without us
hearing from
there just
hearing your
so happy to
thank you
big thanks
community
things that
they've been
they always
talk about
the testimonies
great things
they've been
from what
about the
community
they're one
high class
where people
can gather
glad that
communities
question is
Kami mentioned
the access
to getting
community
made mention
of something
scholarships
the requirements
for someone
scholarship
community
Nader can
talk about
different
different
initiatives
different
partnerships
different
initiatives
scholarships
know we've
giveaways
on Twitter
partnerships
that have
gave away
developer
even more
developer
Women Build
like what
by initiative
Natter or
whoever has
oversight
over those
scholarships
can talk a
little bit
more about
how someone
of register
or try to
this is a
question I'm
was ordering
lunch it's
about the
scholarship
yeah yeah
someone who
develop a
scholarship how
apply and
what do they
need to do
number one
better system
and I know
something that's
being worked
we're kind
of behind
on issuing
haven't issued
actually couple
of weeks I
don't believe
through our
existing process
of notion
document that
keeps up with
a type form
that comes
through so I
think I saw
someone that
had their
hand up I'm
not sure if
someone in
more insight
now that we
have launched
our you know
now we're
into season
one I think
we're going to
have a lot
more organization
around how
that actual
process is
and we're
also going
to be able
because we
only had a
limited number
available but
just because of
the limited
number of
tokens that
were available
but now that
launched this
token this
actually opens
the door for
this one of
things that we
wanted to do
is to issue
these you know
these scholarships
at a higher
rate I guess
you could say
or faster
pace so unless
someone else
has anything
to add to
that or maybe
mark yeah
I can jump
in so one
of the questions
I heard asked
requirements for
getting a
sponsorship the
short answer is
there is none
there's no quiz
there's no bar
you need to
pass what we
do like to see
is enthusiasm
for like sharing
what you learn
for public
open source
software we
like to see
people learning
in public
these kinds
of things
because that's
that's a lot
of what we
value in our
members so in
the forum
there's a couple
questions where
you can you
opportunity to
mention any
of those things
that you might
like doing
might be involved
second thing
I'll say is
that as part
of the token
launch there
is a portion
of the allocation
set aside for
for sponsorships
so there's I
forget the exact
number but it's
like over 350
memberships that
we will have the
ability to grant
in season one
and beyond and
that will continue
to be a priority
beyond season one
as well so as
mentioned there
scholarship the
sponsorship the
fellowship the
access one program
we have a lot of
words that we're
going to need to
hone in on
standardize and
communicate well out
to the world but
there are a
number of
initiatives where
people are
looking to
increase the
number of ways
into the DAO
and also to
opportunities to
in particular to
folks who might
not otherwise
be able to get
while I have you
up here someone
DM me this
question I just
want to clarify
two questions
one so you need
the developer
DAO NFT and
code to join the
discord and then
two how does
someone get code
to join the
good questions
there's to enter
the community to
enter the discord
server it's one or
the other so you
either have the
genesis NFT or you
have at least 400
code that's the bar
set for season one
we can reevaluate
that over time
so yeah you do
not need both
to get to sign
our discord
you'll essentially
signing a message
with collab land
and collab land
just verifies that
you actually do
own the NFT or
the code tokens
and it's it
continually sort of
checks over time
so you can't just
buy the NFT
somewhere today
enter the community
and then sell it
collab land will
boot you out of
the community
the was there
another question
yeah how can
someone get code
is the only
you have given
so today it was
airdropped out to
existing members
the season one
is is like all
of the budgets
in season one
are denominated
so to start
with and this
is just for the
immediate future
I believe all the
tasks will be
closed to current
members to take
to like complete
tasks complete
bounties and to
earn code but in
the very near future
the goal is to
open up some
public facing
bounties where you
can earn code
and essentially
earn your way
into the DAO
we I don't have
more details on
that today but
that will we'll
we'll be sure to
broadcast that as
soon as that's an
option yeah one
initiative that I'd
like to push
forward is the
ability for someone
to earn membership
into the DAO by
essentially completing
some type of
educational you
know course so in
my in my head it
makes sense for
like onboarding
mechanism would be
just complete
maybe five or
ten tutorials
submit your
example code after
you've done those
kind of like how
you have build
space and these
other projects I
issue like proof of
knowledge and
episodes we would
issue developer
memberships in the
same way so to
me that makes a
lot of sense and
it aligns almost
perfectly with like
what we want to
accomplish anyway so
that's kind of like
what I'm hoping to
see us offer as
well there isn't
anything in stone
set in stone for
that but I'm
pretty sure we
could build
something like
that and a
coalition around
that everyone
would probably
think that would
be a good
everyone I've
talked to so
far also kind
of thinks that
that's a good
idea as well
can I make a
small plug that
I myself and
Daiwat just
committed to
giving out for
two memberships
to developer
DAO the tweet
is pinned to
the top so
we'll announce
two winners at
the end of this
week what not
randomly selected
just reply to
the tweet
somebody you'd
like to nominate
developer DAO
it's like you
know once you
get token might
as well just
give it back
gotta get more
people into this
DAO so just
just wanted to
mention that too
yeah that's
awesome I was
gonna say so
effectively we've
doubled the
possible membership
as of right now
because if you
had the NFT
you got you
also got 400
tokens and so
you essentially
memberships so
you know you
can do whatever
you want but if
you're interested
or you have a
friend or you
know someone who
wants to get
in then that's
that's an
amazing thing to
do and yeah
we do it we
387 scholarships
like already
declared you
know from this
token launch
today and
that's actually
code sponsorships
not just the
NFT so we
have that in
addition to the
NFT so we'll
be looking at
formalizing all
of this and as
we go forward
in season one
awesome thank
you so it's
1124 my time
PST so it
looks like we
have just a few
minutes left if
there's anyone who
had questions or
anything pressing
that they wanted
to bring up in
this space go
ahead and request
to be a speaker
if you're if you
are a speaker and
you don't have
anything else to
say please get
off the stage so
more people can
fit Gina go
ahead well just
just before Gina
goes I think I
think we're going
to cap it off
after Gina so
after Gina we'll
have Daiwaq and I
think that will be
the end because just
just because of the
time so yeah
Gina go ahead
hi guys thank you
for letting me be
on stage it's
been a pleasure
to listen to how
the developer
DAO has started
and to the point
that you guys
arrived it's really
inspirational I'm
not unfortunately a
part of developer
DAO but I am a
part of women
build web 3 which
thanks to Kami for
building out that
space August 1st I
had no coding
experience August
22nd I understand
a lot of protocols
and I deployed my
first app so thank
you Kami for that
my question is as
someone who doesn't
have a developer
DAO membership
which one would you
suggest would you
suggest the NFT
membership or would
you suggest buying
code I don't know
if it was already
answered previously
I may have possibly
missed that just
because I heard
something about
governance or
something being
switched over from
the NFT to code so
I'm just wondering
which one is a
better entry point
and that's all thank
yeah that's a
that's a great
question so they
both get you kind
of full access into
the DAO and the
only difference is
for the proposals the
NFT is not going to
be a part of the
governance calculation
so you will not be
able to vote on
kind of the final
snapshot proposals
that you know
calculate the voting
power based on the
tokens so some
members will care
about this and you
know want to be able
to vote and all of
the proposals and
some other members
are just looking for
the community for
access to the
education content you
know just all of the
different things we're
doing so you
really can't go
wrong and yeah
either one is a good
option but if you're
interested in voting
you need to go for
the code token
just to add to that
there will be ample
opportunities during
season one and into
the future to earn
code both if you
remember and as
Mark alluded to in the
future as we've got
some infrastructure
changes to make but
we'll be starting to
issue public bounties
or quests for folks
to be able to earn
their way into the
DAO by picking up
those tasks as well
so yeah either all
works but as well
said that the big
thing is the changing
governance but if you
were to join via an
NFT in no way does
that stop you having
opportunities to further
earn code kind of as
the season and forever
more kind of progresses
like that will continue
to be the case
essentially forever
and then final thing
Gina and other people
who are taking 30 days
of web 3 with women
build web 3 we gave
away 10 developer DAO
NFTs last week I
believe and we'll be
giving out 10 more in
the coming weeks we
haven't established that
but just if you're
taking the course keep
your eye out for that
if you're interested in
developer DAO NFT and
then finally I want
Daiwa to get his last
few minutes up here
and before we start
saying bye
does anyone else not
have any questions
because I don't have
anything important to
say I just I guess I
just go ahead just
speak your heart
sure okay so I guess
I'm just very happy
that all of this is
happening I've been
I've been in
developer DAO since
like very very early
days so I I learned
a lot about what I
know today about
what we in developer
DAO so it makes me
very happy that we
are celebrating this
day today I just
want to give a shout
out to every single
person who has been
involved in getting
us to the stage
but especially a huge
shout out to Ken who
has been doing
everything I don't
think saying that
would be an
overstatement so
shout out to him
fucking legend and
I'm just very lucky
that I got to know
all of you through
developer DAO I just
hope we can make
this world a better
place and continue
doing the work that
we have been doing
and we have changed
more lives through
this vow yeah I'm
just super super
happy that we can
celebrate this today
and thanks for
letting me speak
