EXCHANGE DAO - MASTER PLAN PROPOSAL

 

1. DAO Mission & Cohort 2 Direction

1.1 DAO Mission Statement

The Exchange DAO empowers global participants to share skills, knowledge, experiences, and personal insights through real-time 1–1 online sessions on the CED (Capacity Exchange) platform.

In Cohort 2, the DAO will deliver 500 meaningful 1–1 sessions, strengthen session quality, explore regeneration pathways, and generate insights to guide CED’s long-term development.

1.2 Vision & Guiding Principles

We operate based on:

• Peer-to-peer learning
• Dynamic roles: Guide (service provider) & Explorer (service user)
• Real-time global connection
• Inclusiveness across domains (skills, knowledge, life guidance, creativity, wellbeing)
• Regenerative thinking
• Multi-stakeholder participation (partners, ambassadors, institutions, collaborators, customers, KAT holders)
• Decentralized coordination & shared ownership

1.3 Context & Rationale

The CED platform enables a fluid exchange system where any participant can become a Guide or Explorer instantly.

Cohort 2 provides the structure to:

• Test and refine 1–1 online formats
• Build Guide & Explorer networks
• Generate regenerative value
• Strengthen documentation and data models
• Pilot multi-stakeholder KAT recognition
• Shape CED’s ecosystem roadmap

2. Impact Goals (DAO-Level & Working Group-Level)

2.1 DAO Impact Goal

500 meaningful real-time 1–1 sessions conducted on the CED platform.

Definition of a “meaningful session”

• 1–1 online, synchronous
• Guided or semi-structured
• Includes reflection or learning takeaway
• Recorded in session logs
• Validated by Documentation WG
• May involve DAO Members or external participants (partners, ambassadors, volunteers, customers)

2.2 Working Group Impact Sub-Goals

Working Group	Impact Sub-Goal
Session Design & Facilitation WG	220 sessions
Cross-Cultural Exchange WG	150 sessions
Wellbeing & Personal Growth WG	130 sessions
Total	500 sessions

2.3 Measurement & Tracking Method

• Session trackers maintained by each WG
• Documentation WG verifies logs weekly
• Combined session dashboard reviewed at weekly DAO sync
• Monthly summaries for DEP Organizer Team

3. Regeneration Strategy & Sub-Goals

3.1 DAO Regeneration Target

$3,000 regenerated value

3.2 Regeneration Strategy Overview

The DAO will test multiple regeneration pathways such as:

• Donation-based or low-cost micro-sessions
• “Sponsor a Session” programs (NGOs, student groups, wellbeing communities)
• Cross-DAO thematic collaborations (e.g., C&C DAO → creative reflections)
• Institutional micro-learning programs (universities, clubs, HR departments)
• Skill-exchange packages for organizations
• Experience-based sessions (storytelling, language, culture)
• Ambassador-supported regeneration events

3.3 WG Regeneration Sub-Goals

Working Group	Regeneration Target
Session Design & Facilitation WG	$1,200
Cross-Cultural Exchange WG	$900
Wellbeing & Personal Growth WG	$900
Total	$3,000

3.4 Tracking System

• Regeneration WG maintains a regeneration dashboard
• Upload all evidence weekly
• Monthly DAO-level summary

3.5 Risks & Mitigation

• Low partner uptake → diversify stakeholder segments
• Guide fatigue → rotate roles, provide session scripts
• Uncertain regeneration → start with donation-based models
• Partner withdrawal → maintain 2–3 backup institutions
• Platform constraints → coordinate with CED dev team
• Ethical considerations → ensure privacy-informed consent
