How It Works

The Dream DAO community consists of...

  • The "Builders": talented Gen Zers (15-20 years old when they join the DAO), who have proven themselves as young leaders, and are interested in exploring how to leverage the power of web3 to build a brighter future for humanity and the world. Most Builders to date have been alumni of the Civics Unplugged fellowship.

  • The "Champions": established leaders representing a range of industries who lend their expertise, networks, and other resources to the mission of Dream DAO.

Every Dream DAO member has a SkywalkerZ NFT:

  • Champions must purchase their NFT. Once they purchase an NFT, they are eligible to apply to the Dream DAO as a Champion. Champions are accepted on a rolling basis, and the applications are reviewed by the Co-stewards.

  • Once Builders are accepted as members, they receive a SkywalkerZ NFT for free.

  • SkywalkerZ allow members to vote. However, owning multiple SkywalkerZ does not increase voting power. We run on one member, one vote.

  • SkywalkerZ are only sold for a short period in between seasons. For Season 1 and 2, they were priced at 0.1 ETH.

Why We Created This

We believe that mentorship is essential to learning. Our Champions are key to the development of our Builders and the DAO as a whole. They help lead our working groups and offer to meet with our Builders 1:1. We believe using NFTs for voting power is more equitable than tokens. Especially because our target demographic is young people, often with little disposable income. We believe that 0.1 ETH is enough to help us raise funding and prove commitment, but not too much that purchasing a SkywalkerZ would be unreasonable.

Learnings

Of everything in Dream DAO, our membership model has probably evolved the least. This model has served as a strong foundation for the DAO. One major learning is the size of the DAO. From the start, we have been intentionally small to curate the culture and community. In Season one, we onboarded about 80 members. Now, we are up to about 150. We intend to keep the size of the DAO small because we want to maximize the impact we have on each individual member.
