Today, Nahmii is launching SkunkDAO, a Web3 incubator that helps Nahmii’s developer community convert their ideas into projects with real-world form and function. Applications for joining SkunkDAO are now live, both for developers looking to build new products on Nahmii, and strategic partners interested in shaping Nahmii’s long-term future!

Like the eponymous Skunk Works division of Lockheed Martin, from which this initiative derives its name, SkunkDAO was established to foster innovation and create revolutionary products that are ahead of their time. SkunkDAO will play a key role in accelerating the growth of the Nahmii ecosystem by providing builders with ample funding and full autonomy over their creative pursuits. In short, SkunkDAO is designed to minimise outside interference and “design-by-committee” delays, allowing developers to build cutting-edge products and services on Nahmii that are true to their original vision.

Receive Developer Support and Funding

The amount of funding SkunkDAO provides for each approved project will vary depending on its complexity and scope, generally ranging between $15k-$100k USD in return for 7% of the project’s tokens. These tokens will be held in SkunkDAO’s treasury and be used to fund future projects and grow the Nahmii ecosystem.

The overarching thesis of SkunkDAO is to incubate and push products out to production within 12 weeks. There are already multiple projects in the works at SkunkDAO, ranging from new NFT deployments to DeFi applications and this is just the tip of the iceberg!

SkunkDAO’s Strategic Partners

SkunkDAO’s first cohort of partners consists of several blockchain-friendly enterprises and we will be announcing them by name in short order! These partners will play a central role in accelerating Nahmii’s growth and success in terms of capital deployment, strategic inputs and community governance. More specifically, SkunkDAO’s partners will all be members of SkunkDAO’s decentralised autonomous organisation and are responsible for voting on new SkunkDAO proposals and enacting them in full. DAO members can also suggest new proposals and imbue SkunkDAO’s developmental trajectory with their own vision of success.

Expect More From SkunkDAO

SkunkDAO combines the grassroots creativity of Nahmii’s developer community with funding and support from a growing pantheon of experienced partners. The result is an agile, developer-friendly coalition of builders and strategists collectively creating the backbone infrastructure for Nahmii’s burgeoning ecosystem. Together, we will build the next generation of decentralised services.

SkunkDAO is currently incubating a number of projects spanning a wide range of industries and user applications. There will be plenty of exciting announcements to come in 2022 and if you’re an NFT enthusiast then get ready for some exciting news from SkunkDAO very, very soon!
