CONTRIBUTING TO DAOs
First of all, let us understand what a DAO really means. The term DAO simply means Decentralised Autonomous Organisations. But that still does not explain what it really is. To understand a DAO in simple terms, a DAO is a community that is owned and managed by its members. This means that no one person has absolute power over the decisions and affairs of the community.
HOW TO FIND DAOs TO JOIN
The best thing about the DAOs is how open they are. Some of them require you to purchase tokens to join while some others let you to get a sense of how they operate.
There are many different types of DAOs which we will be talking about in our next article. So now, we will be focusing on how to contribute to a DAO.
HOW TO CONTRIBUTE TO A DAO
To contribute to a DAO simply means to participate in a DAO. it can be actively or not, depending on the amount of time you have and what you aim to achieve. A few of the things termed contributions in a DAO includes: Socializing and building friendship in the group, joining in the DAOs weekend livestreams, etc.
To contribute to a DAO, the first thing to do is to :
- Understand and identify the right DAO for you and join their discord server
- Complete the onboarding process and introduce yourself in the #INTROs. Also check the #announcementt channel
- Start socializing and participating in the DAOs activities
- If you observe someone who’s always active in the DAO, there is a possibility they are a core contributor. Try to send them a direct message and ask about how you can contribute best to the DAO.
HOW TO EARN FROM DAO
To earn massively from DAOs, timing is everything. As the number of hours you dedicate to a particular DAO in conjunction with your skills goes a long way to determine your role and what you make out of it.
If you have from 1- 3 hours per week, you can start by engaging in community conversations and promote DAO on different social media platforms.
Also, If you have up to 7–10 hours weekly, you can become a core contributor and also start growing the community.
And just like I said earlier, timing is everything. Once you identify a DAO that appeals to you, then you set the level of responsibility that suits you and that’s it.
Note: it is worthy of note that there are certain criteria that should be considered when choosing or selecting a project.
FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING A PROJECT
Here are a few factors one should consider before or when selecting a project, either for investments, job or research purposes. They includes:
- The projects investors
- The project team and
- The developmental stage of the Project.
The Project investors go a long way to determine how well the project will go. They are people who believe in and share the same idea about that particular project, hence giving their support via fundings and grants and in return becoming a shareholder in the project. A project investor with good business acumen and portfolio has the potency of recognising good projects hence the need to watch out for the investors.
The Projects Team: These comprise the core team. One of the major reasons to always check out the core team is to know their level of experience, how long they have been on the space, where they have worked before, success of the projects they handled before, if any and how they will manage / develop the new project.
The developmental stage of the Project: The stage of a project matters also as this can help understand the fundamentals and know if the team is working accordingly as stipulated in the road map.
Note: Projects with good fundamentals have the possibilities of doing well
