FAQ – DEP Cohort 2

DAO-Specific Questions

Estimated reading: 4 minutes 228 views

 

Cultural & Creative DAO

For the CCD Proposals locally, will the meetings have to be offline or virtual?

If some DAO members can meet offline locally, we encourage that. At the same time, because of the decentralized nature, DAO-wide meetings or meetings among members from different locations will need to be online.

 

KAT Tokenomics DAO

As a technical contributor in the KAT Tokenomics DAO, what tools and tech stack will we primarily be using - both for the MVP dashboard and for the testnet smart contracts?

The KAT Tokenomics DAO will likely use a mix of lightweight collaboration tools, no-code workflows, and experimental blockchain tooling depending on each Working Group’s needs.
For collaboration and coordination, we currently expect to use tools such as:
- Discord,
- Google Workspace,
- Figma,
- Spreadsheets,
- and GitHub for technical contributors where relevant.

For the MVP dashboard and workflow prototype, the approach will initially prioritize:
- simplicity,
- accessibility,
- and rapid experimentation, rather than building a production-ready system immediately.

For the testnet smart contracts, the technical stack may evolve during the cohort depending on contributor expertise and implementation scope. Since DEP 2 is experimental and learning-oriented, contributors will also have opportunities to help shape the technical direction collaboratively.

The main focus is not advanced infrastructure complexity, but rather:
- contribution tracking,
- symbolic recognition logic,
- governance experimentation,
- and workflow usability.

There are any preparatory materials or frameworks (especially related to tokenomics design, governance models, or evaluation criteria) that we should review before the kickoff session to maximize our contribution.

Yes. Participants are encouraged to review the core DEP 2 materials before the kickoff event to build shared context around:

Member Roles and Contributions
- DAO Leaders and Working Group Leaders will coordinate and collaborate closely with other members to complete the templates below.
- The DAO Facilitator will also provide clear guidance and timely reminders throughout each stage of the process.

That said, DEP 2 is intentionally designed to be multidisciplinary and beginner-friendly. Participants are not expected to already be experts in tokenomics or blockchain systems. A major goal of the cohort is collaborative learning through experimentation and real participation.

Additional templates, onboarding guides, and DAO-specific frameworks will also be shared progressively during the program.

Which skills should participants focus on developing during DEP 2 to create the most impact?

DEP 2 is designed as an experimental learning ecosystem, so participants will likely develop both practical and collaborative skills throughout the program.

Some of the most valuable skills participants may strengthen include:
- decentralized coordination,
- systems thinking,
- governance participation,
- facilitation,
- community collaboration,
- regenerative thinking,
- documentation,
- storytelling,
- project execution,
- and cross-cultural communication.

For technical contributors, DEP 2 also provides opportunities to explore:
- workflow prototyping,
- DAO tooling,
- contribution tracking systems,
- and lightweight blockchain experimentation.

More importantly, DEP 2 encourages participants to learn how decentralized communities can:
- coordinate,
- create impact,
- experiment responsibly,
- and move toward sustainability together.

The goal is not only to complete deliverables, but also to build long-term collaborative capacity and shared learning across the cohort ecosystem.

 

Participant-Proposed DAO

What are the expected outcomes or deliverables for participants during the program?

DEP 2 is structured around both individual contribution and collective DAO-level impact.

At the DAO level, each DAO has specific impact and regeneration goals. For example:
- the Cultural & Creative DAO aims to co-create 400 cultural expressions,
- the Exchange DAO aims to facilitate 500 meaningful 1–1 sessions,
- and the KAT Tokenomics DAO focuses on building the KAT Reward & Privilege Framework, MVP dashboard, and symbolic testnet systems.

At the participant level, expected outcomes may include:
- active participation in Working Groups,
- contribution to DAO deliverables,
- collaboration across teams,
- governance participation,
- documentation,
- experimentation,
- and community coordination.

Deliverables may vary depending on a participant’s role and Working Group, but generally include:
- execution outputs,
- reports,
- prototypes,
- workshops,
- coordination support,
- storytelling,
- or operational contributions.

DEP 2 emphasizes meaningful participation, collaboration, and learning over rigid task completion.
