2022 Year roadmap: Maximize
LaunchPad, New Tokenomics and Perks in the Real World
Today, with the advent of new economic vehicles such as NFTs, spotlight on the creator economy has never been greater. Dev Protocol has been providing OSS developers with a new way to monetize their work through tokens, with the vision of maximizing the creativity of all creators.
As the recent Grantee announcement has shown, Dev protocol can be used to build a variety of decentralized applications, but we feel that we can do more than what is offered at the moment with Stakes.social. Over the course of the last year, we’ve had close to 1000 feedbacks posted on the forum, mostly asking for support for new creators to use the DEV protocol.
So we are very pleased to announce a new Dapp that will make it easier for many creators to get started with DEV protocol coming out shortly, in 2022.
1. Social Token Launchpad for all creators to get started with DAO
2021 has definitely been a year of excitement for NFTs but another thing that is gaining momentum is the DAO: Dev Protocol has been developing since 2018. Our aim with the DAO is to enable creators to achieve sustainability in their projects. We believe that our DAO has all the tools necessary for creators to succeed.
With the new Dapp — Social Token Launchpad (tentative name), you will be able to:
- Issue social tokens by authenticating your social network accounts
- Share your social tokens with your team or community
- Distribute incentives through DEV tokens
The Launchpad is a standalone dashboard for creators who want to issue social tokens. Social tokens issued with Dev Protocol can be used in any combination of Dapps using Dev Protocol, and can grow freely depending on the size and purpose of the projects.
What are the use cases?
Imagine DAO as a place of employment. Your skills can be turned into an economic incentive at several DAOs. You could even join a DAO guild and have someone manage day to day activities for you. If OSS, YouTube, and Discord servers etc. have social tokens and build a DAO, you will be able to live by your contribution to creation. With so many successful DAOs already in place in the financial sector, it’s easy to see how this will change the creator economy and transform the industry this year and the new Dapp being developed by Dev Protocol community should be a fitting first choice for them.
2. MAXIE: New Tokenomics
Thank you to everyone who participated in the discussion of several Tokenomics update proposals last year. We took a hint from your discussion and proposed a completely new Tokenomics to the forum.
MAXIE is Maximized Creator Economy Tokens which works as the Instrumentality tokens for DEV. It tokenizes all creator tokens that are deposited into the Dev Protocol Treasury = decentralized creator economy. MAXIE provides a feature that supports all creators in one transaction and increases the DEV’s value by capturing the Creator Economy’s value. In return this creates a more direct positive feedback loop for DEV and the ecosystem.
How will it affect DEV?
We have been receiving requests from enthusiastic community members for a long time to create an incentive to hold DEV tokens earned from staking without needing to sell tokens for expenses. MAXIE will allow DEV stakers who support creators to farm part of their creator tokens, so MAXIE holders can capture a share of the ever-expanding creator token pool. This is the token for the creator economy, which is complementary to DEV token for supporting creators.
3. Perks in the Real World
We know that many of you have been waiting for Perks for quite some time, we first announced the idea of Perks last year. The development of Perks requires several steps, in order to create a proof of supporter, we first developed sTokens. In response to the many requests from creators to distribute NFTs as Perks, we have released a customization feature for sTokens. With the birth of sTokens, the Dev Protocol’s integration capabilities, for example with Web3 projects such as Unlock and CoinVice, have significantly improved.
What’s next for Perks?
Some of you may know that the origin of the DEV protocol is not the OSS, but the Japanese traditional sector. We are currently discussing a partnership with them, and the future where we will be able to use DEV tokens to support artisans and cultural properties, is coming soon. We imagine a future where supporters are considered VIP members for each project they stake to.We also see a future where supporters will have the right to purchase/receive exclusive products and services from perks as well. We are very much looking forward to unveiling these new partnerships.
Final note
We have been hosting a Community Hour every other week since late last year. It’s a casual time for all community members to talk freely about Dev Protocol and answer questions. If you want to know the latest status of our milestones, please join us and let’s talk together. We are always open to feedback from you.
Dev Protocol is the core of the Decentralized Creator Economy that supports sustainable revenue opportunity and global expansion with web3 technology. Tokenize your project with ‘Proof of Ownership’ and start your own economy easily with a powerful blockchain solution designed to help grow your projects.
