DAOs are operating in siloes, unknowingly facing similar bottlenecks. Wheels are reinvented and knowledge is not effectively shared.
Most importantly, many are unaware of the regenerative side of web3! Let's create the space for all of us to co-create; where global changemakers are inspired to leverage web3 for good. A shelling point where ImpactDAOs can find each other and for talent to find their home to build towards thriving societies as we continue to experiment how we might best coordinate to solve real global issues.
We’ve been endlessly throwing money and technology innovation into broken systems—into the most obvious symptoms without exploring the underlying factors that create those symptoms in the first place. Let’s not commit the same mistake of mindlessly throwing DAOs and web3 at every issue.
With so much energy and resources going into web3 how do we make sure these are spent on the most impactful work? Are the tools, and systems we are building actually moving us closer to our solar punk/regenerative future?
Why Now?
Web3 can have a massive impact on society or succumb to the pitfalls of discoordination and poor resource allocation. While networks are still small and in exploration, we need to plant the seeds for organic collaboration that can be carried forward as it scales. A mycelium type network where individual project enables greater value for all as we leverage our collective leadership, money and talent towards a shared purpose.
We need a connective tissue, an ImpactDAO hub to where projects find each other, to connect how individual efforts unlock key pieces of the broader societal shift, to share high-value composable frameworks or web3 primitives others can leverage to supercharge their impact. This is why Impact Cartographers are so needed in this space and why we are building the Impact Cartographer Coalition.
And we invite everyone to join and play the game, to drive a high mimetic power that rallies the community to support and build high impact public goods.
The Roadmap (or better, some Ideas):
This is bound to change, we have now mapped 185 ImpactDAOs and want everyone to learn about them. This is a call to action for all changemakers to shape the Schelling Point of ImpactDAOs ecosystem through serendipitous ideas and collaborations to grow the positive change web3 can achieve in the world.
