DAO-specific Questions

Connect DAO

1. What exactly is Connect DAO? Are we simply connecting with each other? 

Connect DAO is not just about “connecting with each other.” Its mission is to facilitate 300 meaningful intergenerational sessions (TECD sessions) between youth and seniors. The goal is to reduce social isolation, foster learning, and create well-being through structured online activities like storytelling, memory games, and music

So, the vision is about building impactful intergenerational bonds while using DAO tools to coordinate, reward contributions, and share outcomes transparently—not only casual connection.

Reflection DAO

1. How will roles be assigned in the Reflection DAO’s program, and can I focus mainly on content creation?

In Reflection DAO, roles aren’t fixed from the very beginning — they’re assigned based on both what the DAO needs and what you’re most interested in. At the start, we’ll try to make sure every group has the basics covered (like proposers, executors, documentors, and storytellers).

If your main interest is content creation — like writing reflections, editing stories, or even designing visuals for the zine — that’s definitely possible. You can let the group know what you’d like to focus on, and usually there’s flexibility to shape your role around your strengths.

That said, we also encourage everyone to try small contributions outside their comfort zone (like facilitation or giving feedback), because that’s part of the learning and experimentation spirit of DEP. But yes — you can absolutely make content creation your primary focus!

2. What are the expected responsibilities for Reflection DAO’s members and the typical time commitment?

Each member is expected to contribute actively to at least one proposal or activity of the DAO. Responsibilities can range from creating content (reflections, stories, design), facilitating discussions, documenting, or supporting logistics. The time commitment is flexible, but usually 3–5 hours per week during the execution phase. Some weeks may be lighter (just attending a story circle), while others may involve more work (like preparing a zine or event).

3. How will Reflection DAO’s teams collaborate and what tools will we use for coordination?

We’ll mainly use:

• Discord for day-to-day communication and coordination.
• DAO Padlet for member introductions and shared reflections.
• XDAO for submitting and voting on proposals.
• Google Drive/Folder for storing shared documents, media, and reports.

4. Will the wallet funding be tied to specific tasks or provided as a stipend in Reflection DAO?

Funding is proposal-based. That means each DAO group submits a proposal with its activities, budget, and timeline. If the proposal is approved, the funds are allocated to the group wallet. Within the group, funds are distributed based on roles and contributions — so it’s tied to the tasks and responsibilities members take on, not just a flat stipend for being in the DAO.

5. What other types of contributions are encouraged besides content creation?

Besides content creation, there are actually many ways to contribute to Reflection DAO. At its core, it’s about creating activities that bring people from other DAOs together, helping them feel comfortable to reflect and share. Overall, it will work toward the final goal of producing meaningful reflective outputs.

For example, you could help facilitate story circles or small group discussions — that’s really valuable because it gives people a safe space to share. You could also take notes, document, or even help edit the stories so they can be included in our zine or shared back with the community.

Some of you might be good with visuals or design. You can support layout, graphics, or even create simple posters to invite people to join the reflection activities. Translation is another important contribution, because many of our members are from different countries, so helping to make reflections accessible across languages is a big support.

And of course, even things like coordinating schedules, encouraging others to share, or just giving thoughtful feedback on someone’s reflection also count. So basically, it’s not just about writing stories, it’s about holding space, documenting, designing, translating, and supporting the flow of reflection together.

Grow Together DAO

What type of trees to be planted in Grow Together DAO?

The tree selection is entirely up to each group’s proposal. Groups should ensure the chosen species can thrive in the local environment (considering factors such as sunlight, soil moisture, and growth stage—saplings or semi-mature trees are recommended). Additionally, proposals should highlight the environmental benefits, such as providing shelter for wildlife or reducing flood risks.

Nourish DAO

1. Since this is a start of the DAO to explore it Governance structure, Is it possible to include local partners ensuring that more vulnerable people have access to nutritious meal, through this more people will aware of your impact and the Kambria will be the leading innovator?

We absolutely welcome the inclusion of local partners to help ensure that more vulnerable people can access nutritious meals. During the execution phase, if any DAO members connect with external or local partners such as Heart Home Foundation for support, please make sure to inform us so that these partners can be properly recognized and connected within our broader community network.

2. Is it possible to feed more than 500 vulnerable people if possible with the funds?

Yes, absolutely! Group 2 of Nourish DAO is already planning to provide 1,000 meals, bringing the current total to 1,500 meals across both groups. If your team believes it’s feasible to increase the number of beneficiaries while maintaining quality and budget transparency, that’s definitely possible.

3. What was confusing for me was how the organization in a certain country, for example, Sierra Leone, was selected, given that the project involves collaboration from all member countries. It wasn’t clear why only one country directly benefits while others provide support. This process could be improved by providing more transparency on selection criteria and ensuring that all members understand how decisions are made and how benefits are shared across the group.

Thank you for sharing this important feedback on how project locations are selected.

When designing the DAO Experimentation process, we initially considered the approach of each member submitting an individual proposal, but we found it would be difficult to coordinate and inefficient in terms of funding and execution. Therefore, we adopted the group-based approach, where members are divided into smaller DAO groups.

Each DAO group can have multiple proposals by its members, and the group then select one proposal for execution. Once a proposal is selected, all members in that group are encouraged to take ownership of specific parts of the plan.

To facilitate collaboration, we also invited any member to volunteer as a group leader to help coordinate communication and progress. Some members, including the Heart of Home Foundation in Sierra Leone, volunteered to take on this leadership role.

This structure helps ensure that decision-making remains democratic and transparent, while allowing each group to build local initiatives collaboratively and effectively within the DAO framework.
