Work / Earn / Vote and Delegate for DAOs

Motivation

Beeing on a transformation jobwise I think a lot about different work models and how this is going to change in the futur. The crypto space is not only about digital money, it's also a space who tries to shape how human wordwide will coorporate in a decentralized way together. Beeing a crypto native and looking for work in this area this research is about how to be part of this and how to aproch different DAOs and Projects to get compensated for my work.

Whats a DAO

DAO stands short for decentralized autonomous organization. The main idea is that this kind of organization are managed on a decentralized blockchain like Ethereum. Normally governance is made on-chain with some member tokens which are used to vote for or against proposals from members. To be a member some DAOs Tokens available on the market, some are non-transferable. Some DAO Tokens are money like and income from projects are bought by market price and then burnt, thus leading to a deflationary model. DAOs come in any kind and structure because this kind of organization are still evolving.

History of DAOs

One of the first DAOs on Etheruem was The DAO (Đ) in 2016. The crowdfunding campaign did raise 11.5 Million ETH which had a value of $150 million back then. I did take part in the crowdfunding and invested some ETH from ethreums public sale. Not only did the code of The DAO get hacked and this event was reverted by a hardfork of the Etheruem chain, but also philosophy of this DAO was a failure because it has been to complex to start with this kind of organization.

Gas Token on Ethereum

How a gas token works.

A gas token writes some garbage data on-chain and pays for this. Normaly you mint the gas token when gas price is low. (Around 1 Gwei). If gas price hight somebody destroys the gas token and ethreum pays back a refund and this refund can be used to pay for the gas cost of the including contract.

CHI

https://1inch-exchange.medium.com/everything-you-wanted-to-know-about-chi-gastoken-a1ba0ea55bf3

To mint CHI:

  1. Go to https://etherscan.io/token/0x0000000000004946c0e9f43f4dee607b0ef1fa1c#writeContract
  2. Connect Metamask
  3. call mint with the number of chi token you want to mint
  4. set gas very low on tx and wait, and wait, and wait, and wait, and wait

Gastoken on ETC

Gastoken also exists on ETC. And because ETC allows 0 gas transaction sometimes you can generate them for free!

Have look here for the GST2 on ethereum classic:

Here you see a 0 gas tx which mints a GST2 token:

Iqfinex – a defunct shady crypto exchange

A shady crypto exchange called IQFINEX

This exchange is not working properly. Ownership is unclear. It did/does have MOD Token (modum) and this is the reason some trading of mod was happened here. Since an update the beginning of 2020 they enforce KYC without warning and even then it's not working. See this telegram group I did initiate: https://t.me/IQFINEXUserAssociation (Unofficial support group for a shady crypto exchange called IQFINEX)
