Preserve important historical works and culture for the next generation with TemplesDAO
TemplesDAO released
As the first project taking advantage of “Clubs”, a DAO starter kit for developers,“TemplesDAO” has been launched for Japanese cultural arts.
https://temples.clubs.stakes.social/
Specifically TemplesDAO aims to preserve Buddhist arts and assets throughout Japan. The main benefactor is Suiundoh, Inc., whose main business is restoring temples, national treasures and Buddha statues. Suiundoh’s plan is to collect sustainable financial support by staking, and providing supporters with Perks at the same time in an effort to fulfill gaps from other philanthropic aid.
Suiundoh’s business is quite unique as they not only restore buildings and gates within temples, but also create items found within the temples including statues and ritual articles. Their goal is to preserve precious cultural assets in Japan while at the same time passing down materials and technology so that younger generations are able to restore them at a later time. Dev Protocol’s sustainable funding system was adopted by Suiundoh due to sharing a common goal of “sustainability”.
Clubs — a sustainable funding scheme
Clubs is a sustainable development kit (SDK) for a creator economy developed by Dev Protocol. It offers a method of sustainable funding for creators and rewards for fans through staking either DEV or ETH. While creators receive funds for their activities, they can also set up Perks depending on the contribution level of their fans. Some examples of them in TemplesDAO are:
- Private access to auctions.
- Ability to purchase handcrafted goods from local vendors.
- Special Perks (Event invitations, member- only services, etc)
Tradition x Innovation
Due to the downward trend of the traditional craft industry, decreasing number of successors having traditional craftsmanship experience, many arts and national treasures lack maintainers. The rapid reduction of domestic and overseas tourists from the spread of COVID-19 exacerbated the situation, resulting in the shortage of funds for preservation and restoration. TemplesDAO has the potential to be a guiding light for artisans and fans of traditional arts in this challenging time.
TemplesDAO is a whole new community that bridges digital technology with traditional culture. Thanks to the support of digital assets, you can join this DAO no matter where you live in order to contribute to the growth of the project as a member. Funds are used for the restoration of temples and support for artisans, while members of TemplesDAO will receive a physical as well as on-chain experience that cannot be seen in other fundraising programs.
TemplesDAO will start on June 6, 2022 (JST). While your staking leads to the preservation of national treasures, you’ll also have a chance to receive Perks depending on your staking amount as a reward for your support. Perks include your participation in a private auction and members only services with limited items.
Frame00, a founder of Dev Protocol, was established in 2015 by CEO Mayumi Hara, who noticed that Japanese artisans are economically less valued although their art remains for more than a century. Dev Protocol team is delighted to be able to promote regional revitalization and culture inheritance business by DAO.
