 earlier this week, and realized I’m pretty out of the loop on how core contributors and DAO instigators have been leveraging tokens to reward contributors recently. Given the nature of the speculative market, and the fact that token values are significantly lower / less attractive, what are the new, emerging theses and mechanisms for on-chain ownership that DAOs and tokenized communities are exploring today?

Tyler Morrey

Nate Western

 have put some awesome thought into token design and compliant ownership (

Jihad Esmail

Carlos

 ) — but what other experiments have been floating around in the space?

Are newer token communities and the OG DAOs pursuing things like Reddit’s new community points? Are people starting to parse out community “membership” and contribution as ownership by issuing separate tokens (cc 

Lana

Nico Shi

)? What insights and learnings have we seen from Krausehouse’s membership tiers? Pls LMK!!

P.S. I’m sure I’m butchering some of the language around all of these topics — it’s been a while since I’ve looked into any of this stuff! If you have any recent articles and essays worth reading, plss link them as well :)

aleena!

Hi all! Was just talking to @salmanneedsajob earlier this week, and realized I’m pretty out of the loop on how core contributors and DAO instigators have been leveraging tokens to reward contributors recently. Given the nature of the speculative market, and the fact that token values are significantly lower / less attractive, what are the new, emerging theses and mechanisms for on-chain ownership that DAOs and tokenized communities are exploring today?

 I know @Tyler Morrey and @Nate Western have put some awesome thought into token design and compliant ownership (read their whitepaper here!), and Forefront is, as always, doing very cool things around NFT memberships (cc @Jihad Esmail && @Carlos ) — but what other experiments have been floating around in the space?

Are newer token communities and the OG DAOs pursuing things like Reddit’s new community points? Are people starting to parse out community “membership” and contribution as ownership by issuing separate tokens (cc @Lana  && @Nico Shi)? What insight

What's the state of ERC-20 tokens in DAOs and community contribution these days?
