Introduction
Vision
A decentralized autonomous organization that enables creators across all disciplines to collaborate on ambitious projects while maintaining fair ownership stakes proportional to their contributions.
By breaking down complex projects into discrete tasks and compensating contributors with project tokens, we create a trustless system where successful ventures reward everyone who helped build them.
The Problem We're Solving
Independent creators today face several barriers to building significant projects:
Skill Gaps
Writers may have great product ideas but lack technical skills to execute. Developers may have technical expertise but need design and marketing help. The current system forces creators to either learn everything themselves or give up on ambitious projects.
Capital Constraints
No upfront funding to pay collaborators means projects never get off the ground. Traditional funding options require giving up creative control or taking on debt.
Trust Issues
Difficulty finding reliable collaborators without established relationships creates friction. How do you trust someone you've never worked with before to deliver quality work?
Unfair Compensation
Traditional employment/contracting doesn't align rewards with project success. The person who builds the MVP often sees no upside when the project becomes successful.
Coordination Challenges
No efficient way to organize complex multi-contributor projects leads to chaos. Without proper coordination tools, collaborative projects fall apart.
How It Works
Basic Flow
- Project Creation: A creator (Project Initiator) identifies an ambitious project they want to build
- Token Minting: They mint a fixed supply of project tokens (e.g., 1,000,000 tokens) representing 100% equity in the project
- Task Definition: The project is broken down into specific, measurable tasks with clear deliverables
- Equity Allocation: Each task is assigned a token reward based on estimated effort and importance
- Community Contribution: Other creators browse available tasks and contribute their skills to earn equity
- Completion & Validation: Completed tasks are validated and equity tokens are distributed to contributors
- Ownership & Revenue: Token holders own the project proportionally and receive their share of all profits
Core Principles
Open Source Foundation
- All platform code must remain open source
- Project creators encouraged to open-source their work when possible
- Transparency in governance and revenue distribution
Contribution-Based Ownership
- True Equity Stakes: Tokens represent actual ownership percentages in projects
- Work-to-Own Model: Contributors earn equity through completed tasks
- Proportional Rights: Ownership stake determines both profit sharing and governance influence
- Exit Value Participation: Token holders receive their proportional share of any sale price
Creator Sovereignty
- Creators maintain control over their specialized domains
- Democratic governance for major platform decisions
- No central authority extracting excessive value
Trustless Execution
- Smart contracts handle token distribution and revenue sharing
- Minimal human intervention in reward mechanisms
- Transparent, auditable processes
Success Metrics
Platform Health
- Number of active projects
- Task completion rate
- Average time from project launch to revenue generation
- Creator retention and repeat participation
Creator Outcomes
- Average earnings per creator
- Diversity of skill types participating
- Success rate of launched projects
- Creator satisfaction and community growth
This concept will only succeed if it's shaped by the creator community it serves. We need your expertise, concerns, and ideas to build something that actually works for independent creators.
