Recapping the 1st Phase of Signal DAO 📡 & Looking Forward to Future Experiments
As members of the MetaCartel and builders of the original Moloch DAO, we used this framework for the initial DAO Ops product integration.
A primary goal set prior to launch was to onboard 50 members into the DAO. We decided to set the voting period to a short 1 hr in order to optimize for quick user interaction.
While the novelty of SignalDAO on the surface is the interface, the way we created the product is where much of the magic lies.
We used Airtable as a database to cache, listen to events, and submit forms, and built the backend using an MVP version of the Abridged visual development environment.
While DAO Ops is the pilot application created with this stack, we plan to continue integrating with a variety of smart contracts to create a robust and easy to use visual development environment for rapid product iteration.
“The kind of paradigm shift I’m interested in with DAOs is that instead of teams raising money, you have ideas raising money. Then teams can compete for which team can spend the money to implement the idea most effectively.” Vitalik Buterin
While not perfect, the Signal DAO serves an important purpose as a pilot chat-based DAO integration.
Members still submit proposals with a wide variety of engaging ideas from interest bearing “Supercharged” NFTs, to Gas-less Mosendo, to a Gamer Collective DAO. We hope this can continue to be a testbed for sharing ideas with a group of highly engaged crypto folks.
Our team feels excited by all who joined to participate in this pilot experiment to understand the viability of utilizing a mobile chat interface for web3 functionality and hope to find similar support as we build into the future!
