DAO Global Hackathon Registration Open

The DAO Global Hackathon is an exciting 4-week virtual event where hackers will leverage cutting-edge governance primitives and existing tools to enable the next generation of DAOs.

Details:

Dates: April 10 - May 7.
The hackathon will be hosted on HackerEarth. Register to participate here!
To find your team and join the DAO Global Hackathon community, join the discord server.

For this hackathon, we will be leveraging the “legos thesis” that enabled DeFi and applying it to DAOs. Hackathon participants will find novel use cases for existing tools and create integrations that haven’t yet been explored, choosing from a variety of bounties defined by the sponsoring partners.

In the first DAO Global Hackathon in 2021, 23 partners and over 1,000 hackers worked together to build exciting governance and coordination tools. The event had a significant impact on the DAO ecosystem, and we are excited to build on that success with this edition of the Hackathon.

Signalling Proposal for Strategic Planning Guideline

This guideline defines an agile strategic planning framework for the Aragon DAO. It defines how Guilds are expected to collaborate together and work with Delegates and ANT holders to set strategy and corresponding objectives, which are high-level statements of what the DAO wants to achieve. These objectives are used to map value in Aragon, between strategy and our on-chain governance.

Network Highlights
