Layer3 is a platform that enables anyone to contribute to a DAO. We provide a marketplace of bounties where users can earn governance tokens by doing things as simple as putting out a tweet or as complex as re-designing a front-end.

For DAOs, this is the missing piece in their tool kit. A mechanism to coordinate, track, and reward contributors.

StakerDAO, The Future of Decentralized Financial Governance. It is a platform for governing financial assets in a decentralized, secure, and compliant manner. Find out what's coming next.

STKR, the governance token for StakerDAO, is built on a newly developed GOV.1 token standard on Tezos. STKR tokens are decentralized, secure and compliant with required entities.

STKR holders have primary responsibilities of submitting proposal ideas and electing members of the Staker Council.

Co:Create is a new protocol that unlocks the potential of NFT communities and ecosystems.

Co:Create provides the foundational infrastructure for decentralized brands of the future. It enables projects to mint NFTs, as well as launch their own DAOs and fungible tokens associated with their collections. This serves to expand individual communities, incentivize the growth of dApp ecosystems, and decentralize project governance. The Co:Create protocol will provide the tooling to support these communities in achieving their full potential.

Ventuary DAO, Community-curated Crowdfunding & Grantmaking DAO on Waves platform. Decentralized autonomous organization and community aimed at supporting developers of Web3 solutions.

Ventuary DAO

Building an organization worthy of the future. Comrade coop is not a corporate structure. We are an autonomous digital cooperative, managed through members' democratic consensus. Utilizing blockchain we collaborate remotely, manage agreements, fund each other ideas and share the profits of our labour. All of which as we see fair.

Comrade Cooperative

Radically new governance for open source development. If Gas powers Ethereum, Code is the Fuel for Decentralization.

Open-Source Coding is Centralized.

Open-source development is often controlled by a small group of people in order to prevent that anyone can just perform malicious changes to the code. But these people tend to (often times unintentionally) guide the development into a certain direction which they think would be the best. In some instances this control has led other people who would otherwise have contributed to a project to not contributing for various reasons. There have also been cases where bugs have been overseen since the people who were in control of either the development or the review of these changes were not experienced enough to do so in a reliable way, like the bug that made it into the stable release of the Linux kernel 4.8 or the famous Heartbleed bug in OpenSSL.

Playgrounds, Generative Art Immutably Stored on the Solana Blockchain. Playgrounds DAO is the first NFT DAO focused on generative artists on Solana.

After releasing our first collection, Waves, our long term vision is to build a community owned & community governed platform, by and for art focused creators.

Our aim is to work with as many projects within the Solana ecosystem as possible who are building out these various layers (DAOs, memberships, analytics, fractionalization, and more) and when appropriate build & open source certain core components for other projects to use within the Solana ecosystem. Playground is an experiment to see how far we can decentralize the whole process: curation, development, funding, collecting, etc.

The Waves collection will be a foundational part of the future Playground ecosystem, and thus Wave holders will both receive special privileges for future drops as well as being the core backbone to govern the Playground platform itself.

We're committed to shipping and iterating quickly and will keep the community in the loop as we build through our roadmap below. Let’s have fun building Playground together.

A next-generation DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) and the first to establish the creation of a smart asset platform.

nextDAO will focus on on-chain interaction and collaboration to redefine the token economy by providing decentralized financial instruments and products via smart assets. During this process, nextDAO will also discover new business scenarios and promote ecosystem applications.

nextDAO will consist of a collection of framework models to promote a new paradigm shift. This framework includes a set of smart contracts designed to solve a series of problems from currency to governance.

DEUS finance DAO, Next Generation Asset Tokenization, aka bringing mirrored stocks onto the Ethereum blockchain, transpose any digitally verifiable asset securely onto the blockchain.

DEUS lets you trade real-world assets and derivatives, like stocks and commodities, directly on the Ethereum blockchain.

DEUS is oracle-verified algorithmically backed DAO governed.

The mirrored assets are continuously, unbreakably pegged 1:1 to their real-world equivalents and can be handled and traded like any normal ERC20 token.

Trading stocks on Uniswap and other decentralized exchanges will soon become a reality.
