Gm Good Contributors! 👋
Let's review the lesson. DAOs are a revolutionary new way for communities to come together and collectively manage assets, make decisions, and govern projects. This is already clear right?
One of the most exciting things about DAOs is that anyone can become a contributor, regardless of their technical skills. There is no specific profession or set of qualifications required to join a DAO as a contributor.
There are DAO task that are designed for people with little or no technical background. These DAOs often have simple interfaces and easy-to-use tools that make it easy to get involved.
Anyone with an interest in the mission and values of a particular DAO can potentially become a contributor.
What are you waiting for to join this revolution?
Step-by-Step Guide to Be a DAO Contributor
I understand that you have already interacted with a crypto wallet. It's time to take the next step.
This comprehensive guide will walk you through the process of finding and joining a DAO:
Choose a DAO that aligns with your values and goals. Start here.
Connect: After joining the DAO Discord server, introduce yourself on the #introductions channel and check out the #announcements channel to get an idea of what the DAO is working on.
Check the vibe – Browse a few different channels to get a feel for the vibe. Do you like how community members interact with each other? Who are the main contributors? You probably only have time to contribute to a few DAOs, so make sure the environment is right before proceeding.
Understand how to contribute. Most DAOs use Notion as a landing page where they collect this type of information.
Start socializing – if the vibe feels right, join the conversation! Be genuine and make building friendships your first priority. Tip: Use Twitter and be active on Discord.
Join DAO Live Events – DAOs usually have a live community meeting every week. Take some time to join these events to talk to members live.
Talk to a top contributor – If you see someone who is really active in DAO, chances are they are a top contributor. Try sending them a private message or setting up a 1:1 to ask how you can best contribute.
Start contributing. Depending on your skills and the needs of the DAO you will find tasks for you.
Tasks You Can Tackle in a DAO
There are several types of contributions that can be made to a DAO, depending on the organization and its goals. Some examples include:
Financial contributions: People can contribute funds to a DAO in order to support its operations or to fund specific projects or initiatives.
Proposal submissions: Members of a DAO can submit proposals for changes to the organization or for new initiatives that the organization should undertake. These proposals are then voted on by other members of the DAO.
Voting: Members of a DAO can vote on proposals that have been submitted. These votes help determine the direction of the organization and whether specific proposals are approved or not.
Technical contributions: If a DAO is focused on developing a specific technology or product, members may contribute by providing technical expertise or by contributing code to the project.
Community building: Some DAOs may require people to build a community around the organization or to spread awareness of the organization's goals.
Staking: Some DAOs require people to stake their cryptocurrency to prove their commitment to the organization.
Contributors are compensated with tokens as a reward for their efforts, which can be used to unlock additional platform capabilities or converted to FIAT currency.
Start by doing simple tasks
A great way to get started as a contributor in a DAO is by doing simple tasks. These tasks can help you familiarize yourself with the organization's mission, values, and processes, as well as provide an opportunity to get to know other members of the community.
Some examples of simple tasks that you can do to get started include:
Participating in community discussions and forums
Helping to answer questions from new members
Moderating social media channels
Providing feedback on proposals or initiatives
Helping to organize events or meetups
Translating content into different languages
Writing blog posts or articles
Creating educational resources
Providing technical support
Assisting with research and data analysis
This is simply a list of tasks that came to mind. The possibilities are as limitless as your imagination.

Choosing the Right DAO
Below I share some of my favorite DAOs:
Do you want to learn more about any of these DAOs, leave a comment below and I will review it in my next articles.
Why Join a DAO?
DAO contributors can be compared to a team of explorers venturing into uncharted territories, each with their own unique skills and expertise.
Just as an explorer must navigate through rugged terrain and overcome obstacles to reach their destination, a DAO contributor must navigate through the complex landscape of the decentralized world and overcome challenges to achieve success.
DAO contributors work together toward a common goal, utilizing their individual strengths to collectively achieve success. They communicate, collaborate and make decisions together, with the aim of making a positive impact.
The decentralized world is a vast and exciting frontier, filled with opportunities and potential for those who are willing to take on the challenge.
By joining a DAO, contributors become part of a community of like-minded individuals who share a vision for a more transparent, decentralized future. Together, they can create new projects, govern assets and make decisions that align with their values and goals.
So, if you are ready for an adventure, come and join us in the decentralized revolution.
Let's explore the uncharted territories of the digital realm and discover the hidden treasures of the decentralized world.

What I was doing? 🙄
My dear relatives often ask me, "Why don't you just get a real job like everyone else?" To which I simply reply, "Why settle for a 9-to-5 when I can make memes about proposals and earn bounties in the form of DAO governance tokens? In all seriousness, I want to be a part of the paradigm change that DAOs are creating.
The world of decentralized finance is a wild and mysterious place, and I wouldn't don't have it any other way.
Interview with Jon Sanchez 👟
Today, we are thrilled to have with us Jon Sanchez, a freelance 3D generalist who is pushing the boundaries of digital fashion with his incredible designs.
With inspiration drawn from the natural world, architecture, and streetwear, Jon's work by him is nothing short of mesmerizing. His designs are a fusion of the physical and digital, seamlessly blending the two worlds together.
Join us as we delve into the mind of this creative genius and discover how he's making waves in the metaverse fashion scene.
➢How's it going, Jon?
Hey, we are in a great moment for digital fashion and I love how everything is progressing! The mix between the real and the digital is reaching a good point.
➢How long have you been in digital fashion?
Two years ago I wasn't sure where to go, coming from working in video editing and motion graphics. I discovered a wonderful designer and my interest was fully piqued, and I have been experimenting ever since. I've always been somewhat interested in fashion, but now it's a part of me.
➢How do you see the digital fashion market today?
With many possibilities, I think it opens up a wide range of possibilities for everyone and each one has their own niche to exploit. Whether it's through NFT, making clothes for digital worlds, seeing the clothes, mixing them with real clothes... and there's a lot left to discover.
➢Do you think NFTs have helped 3D designers?
A lot, especially the way they are valued. There may be a lot of intrusion as there are people who have taken advantage of the pull, but I think this has been good for all of us to do a face wash on how 3D work is done.
➢What do you think of the Metaverse today?
We're at a point where we have a lot of Metaverse, all the startup boom with some now it's in the middle ground. I still think that something is missing, to standardize the virtual world with the real world there are some people who do not understand it if they are not used to the computer. But I think that as time goes by we will have more chances.
➢Do you have a favorite metaverse?
I don't have one in particular.
➢What software do you usually use for your designs?
I try to sketch what I want to do by hand so I can visualize it. I create the clothes in Clo 3D and then finish the designs with Cinema 4D + Octane Render.
➢What is your favorite clothing brand?
I have always been a fan of Nike, marketing has revolutionized it a lot, but at the textile level it falls short for me. Speaking of designer fashion, I would choose Balenciaga. If we go back to his origins, the best dresses and the originality that Cristóbal had when the brand was born are crazy, you have true works of art. Since they changed direction a few times ago with a streetwear touch, I like it, I think they have adapted very well to these.
➢Who is the designer who has inspired you the most?
Virgil Abloh really revolutionized the way we understand fashion, I think we owe a lot to him.
➢How do you see your brand in five years?
I look at things in the short term, I think I have a lot to learn to get to where I would like to be. But I really hope I can leave my little mark.
➢We are convinced that you will achieve your goals since you have plenty of talent. Good Luck Fren!
