The Occam DAO is thrilled to announce a new development effort with our R&D partners at Galactica.com.

Following their announcement of a public SDK for ‘Data Guardians’ we’ve identified several possible use cases we can fulfill under this framework for the benefit of Occam DAO members on Galactica.com. We intend to build one the first of these new Data Guardians, which are critical infrastructure components that allow users to leverage their off-chain data to inform private on-chain reputation.

The end goal is to strengthen our governance systems, integrate Occam Razer with Galactica.com, and enable on-chain benefits for our DAO members based on their Occam IDO participation without compromising your privacy!

What is a Data Guardian?

Data Guardians essentially operate as private oracles, and bridge the gap between your off-chain activity and the world of Web3 — in the case of the Data Guardian we’re building in collaboration with Galactica, we’re aiming to import:

  1. Your social data: Establish online credibility by linking profiles from Twitter, Reddit, Discord, and more.
  2. Your Occam Razer Launchpad Data: Demonstrate your investment history with metrics like:
    — IDO participation
    — Total investments
    — Staking & LM activity

This verified data is transformed into zero-knowledge certificates (zkCertificates) which will allow you to disclose zk-proofs of the data in part, or in full to anyone on Galactica Network while maintaining your privacy.

Imagine decentralized applications (dApps) that reward genuine community engagement, offer tailored benefits based on your Occam participation, or even financial products like undercollateralized loans based on your proven reputation. The possibilities are immense!

Integration Goals with Galactica.com

In addition to building and maintaining the new Data Guardian, we’re hoping to deepen our collaboration with Galactica.com in several ways:

  • Occam Razer on Galactica.com: We’re aiming to expand IDO opportunities by conducting launches on Galactica Network.
  • OCC Staking & Liquidity Pools: Occam will offer more opportunities to stake OCC and earn rewards by deploying liquidity pools on the Galactica network.
  • Occam DAO Governance: Our aim is to retire our Discord-based governance and leverage Galactica’s advanced social systems to improve our members’ experience governing the Occam DAO.
  • Cross-Chain Tier System: Your overall reputation and participation across both Occam and Galactica will combine to create a more robust tier system.

This technical collaboration marks a major step in our R&D efforts regarding Galactica in which we can utilize their reliable identity and reputation technology to achieve tangible benefits for our DAO members.

Expect further announcements as we progress!
