Arweave is the infrastructure responsible for permanently storing the crystallization of human wisdom as the Library of Alexandria in the Web3.0 era. Web3.0 is accelerating development, and Arweave as infrastructure will be adopted by more developers, creating a new and more colorful ecosystem.

PermaDAO is the "co-construction and application incubation community" established for this purpose. Therefore, everyone who participates can find their role here to contribute to the Arweave ecosystem. Any proposals and tasks related to Arweave can be posted here and receive support and feedback from the entire community.

Since the summer of 2022, PermaDAO has been voluntarily organized by several developers who are interested in Arweave. At the beginning, it mainly translated Arweave's ecological weekly report and related literature in the industry into Chinese and English. With the development of the Web3 industry and all participating Thanks to the efforts of PermaDAO ecological construction Builders, PermaDAO will flourish in 2023. Here are the top seven news of PermaDAO in 2023:

1. Enrich and expand the functions of DAO, and establish and improve ten major guilds

In 2023, PermaDAO has evolved from the original 1 translation guild to 10 major guilds, and its functions have also evolved from the original translation of documents to "investment research", "news writing", "translation", "planning", DAO organization with comprehensive capabilities in many fields such as "activity organization", "product promotion", and "development".

Each guild has an independent reward and punishment system as well as a promotion and demotion mechanism. Every Builder who participates in the construction of the DAO organization can receive corresponding incentives every Friday. According to incomplete statistics, in 2023, the actual number of people receiving incentives in PermaDAO has exceeded 200.

2. Assist Arweave officials in organizing large-scale offline events

On the evening of April 14, 2023, the "Web3 Hong Kong Night" event, co-organized by PermaDAO, MoleDAO, and BuilderDAO, exclusively sponsored by Tencent Cloud and specially supported by Asia Digital Bank, concluded successfully at the Unification Center in Queensway, Hong Kong. This event invited more than 20 project guests to give speeches at the event, and the project areas covered multiple subdivisions such as DAO, NFT, DeFi, and SocialFi. Web3 People from all walks of life gathered at the Hong Kong Night. More than 400 guests from diverse backgrounds participated in the meeting and exchanged views. The atmosphere was extremely warm.

In September 2023, PermaDAO and Arweave's official "Forward Research" jointly held the second "Arweave Day in Asia" event in Singapore. This is the largest offline series of events in the Arweave ecosystem every year. PermaDAO invited Arweave, Forward Research, SevenX, everVision, everPay, Hansa, ar.io, Akord, Kwil, Permaswap, Relation, 4EVERLAND, WeaveDB, Mind Network, arkreen, ReadOn, Adot, KYVE, Permaweb News, Stamp Protocol, d.id, Next.ID, The Graph, S31 Labs, Starpower, KNN3, DeSchool, NostrAssets and other Eastern and Western teams gathered at the old Parliament site in Singapore, and sparked exciting ideas during project presentations, roundtable discussions and audience Q&A sessions.

3. Collaboration tools for external input of DAO organizations

In September 2023, PermaDAO reached an in-depth cooperation with MAPDAO (a community organization incubated by Map Protocol). Different from the cooperation methods of other project partners in the past, this cooperation marks that PermaDAO's DAO organization collaboration tool officially has the ability to output externally. ability. PermaDAO shares the underlying database with MAPDAO and assists MAPDAO in outputting a set of customizable DAO organization collaboration tools and corresponding guild management methods. This allows the Builders of the two DAO organizations to have a unified entrance, enjoy unified rules and a unified settlement mechanism. The purpose of resource sharing and in-depth collaboration has been achieved. In the next step, PermaDAO will also collaborate with MAPDAO to build a standard system for DAO services and provide tool empowerment for other DAO organizations and communities in the future.

4. We are thirsty for talents and launch a long-term job recruitment plan

Just like there is a classic line in the movie "A World Without Thieves": "What is the most expensive thing in the 21st century? Talent!" In the Web3 industry, the most indispensable thing is: "Talent" !!! In 2023, various PermaDAO guild groups will continue to explore and find outstanding Builders by planning various talent recruitments, establishing a recommendation and reward system, and holding activities such as the "Excellent Translator Translation Contest". . .

The above are special recruitment activities held and organized by PermaDAO in 2023, and they are valid for a long time~ Interested candidates are welcome to submit your resume at any time!

5. Develop publicity channels and enter high-quality articles

In 2023, PermaDAO has also achieved a qualitative leap in publicity with its high-quality content output~

The first is to improve the publicity system of PermaDAO. The Product Promotion Association has adopted a series of reform measures and introduced a "points" system to match each channel according to the point method, and then based on the total number of people promoted and the number of advertisements distributed each week Automatically calculate the total incentive amount and give corresponding incentives to contributors. This initiative directly quantifies the workload of each contributor, and at the same time, to a certain extent, can avoid the endless harvesting practices of "woolists". According to incomplete statistics, the number of weekly announcements has long been maintained at 700-1,000. During the period, about 15-20 people participated in the weekly publicity work.
The second is to actively explore publicity channels. In 2023, PermaDAO gradually opened and established various social media accounts: from domestic WeChat public accounts and WeChat official groups to overseas TG Telegram groups, Discord groups and bilingual official tweets on Twitter; further strengthening external publicity channels. At the same time, PermaDAO has also opened official accounts with four well-known blockchain media: Foresight, PANews, Chain Catcher and Web3Caff, and continues to output high-quality and excellent research reports. It has long been listed in the selections of these four media (recommended on the home page). The establishment of multiple publicity channels has not only made more practitioners aware of PermaDAO, but PermaDAO has also contributed to the construction of Web3~

6. Change from "quantity" to "quality", all in order to improve "quality"

PermaDAO has always insisted on using real money to provide incentives to Builders, especially in 2023, which has surpassed the entire bear market. There are only a handful of DAO organizations that can insist on doing so. As more and more Builders join, problems such as uneven development of various guilds, resulting in unbalanced expenditures, have emerged. To better enable weak guilds to absorb more contributors, active guilds need to improve the quality of output and create better sources of materials for other guilds, the Management Guild specially proposed the "Achievement System and Budget" plan at the end of October. By linking achievement labels and assessment results to the budget, PermaDAO The development of the company has transitioned from the original quantitative change to a qualitative change, thereby achieving a new self-transformation.

(Each guild will be labeled accordingly based on different indicators every week)

7. It’s such a joy to have friends come from far away

In 2023, the development of PermaDAO is inseparable from every hard-working contributor. This year, our contributors have become more and more diversified ~ from the original Chinese mainly to many European and American faces; at the same time , project parties from the Arweave ecosystem have also settled in. For example, Arweave official - "Forward Research", Arweave official media - "The Permaweb News", and Arweave ecological project parties - "KYVE", "RedStone", "4EVERLAND", etc. all log in to PermaDAO with official identities to do the corresponding contribute.

What’s more worth mentioning is that PermaDAO also reached a cooperation with Arweave’s official media “The Permaweb News” in October this year. The core point is to relocate the original submission process of various overseas journalists or project parties in Arweave’s official media to PermaDAO’s submission center. , the content of English submissions will be reviewed directly in PermaDAO by the editor-in-chief of the official media. After passing the review, the contributors and reviewers can receive incentives immediately, and the articles will be automatically published simultaneously in the official media. Such cooperation not only marks that the entire collaboration mechanism of PermaDAO has been officially recognized by Arweave, but also the unique and stable incentive mechanism attracts Arweave's ecological builders around the world to participate in community construction.

8. Focus on the ecological development of Arweave and hold multiple hackathon activities

PermaDAO has been focusing on the ecological development of Arweave since its establishment. In the past year, PermaDAO organized a series of activities such as hackathons, training camps, and project incubations to gather Arweave ecological project parties and provide services for developers, project parties, and funders. And Arweave provides multiple communication platforms for eco-enthusiasts.

In the summer of 2023, PermaDAO, Arweave SCP (Arweave Asia Foundation) and TinTin jointly organized Arweave’s Hackathon Charity Training Camp series. During a period of one and a half months (due to the project team's pursuit of excellence, it was eventually extended to three months), PermaDAO invited a total of 9 Arweave ecological parties to hold 15 online sharing courses to help developers from code practice to products The performance is fully explained and sorted out. This hackathon was warmly welcomed by the developer community. Among them, are both old OGs who have already joined the circle and college students who are still on campus. Their knowledge reserves about Arweave and blockchain development are also inconsistent. However, after going through Developers gained a lot from the hackathon instructors’ meticulous pre-class preparation, trial lectures, and post-event summary process. After multiple scores from professional judges, media reviews, etc., 1 ecological rookie project - Cascad3, 2 projects with unlimited potential - ProtocolSign and Soulcial, and 5 best-participating projects - were finally selected from the 14 final submitted projects. — Public Vector Database, Deschool, Apus network, Smarter AA Wallet and FancyLink.

In October, the Arweave ecological hackathon PermaHACKS, jointly supported by Forward Research, PermaDAO, everVision, Community Labs, decent.land, and Permaweb News, also started.

This event provides a prize worth $20,000 by allowing developers to learn to use the Arweave ecological development tools and write and deploy smart contract backends using the Arweave-based technology stack. To ensure data is available, the dApp’s user interface is hosted on blockweave, providing the infrastructure needed to build permanent, decentralized applications. After 10 days of evaluation, 7 projects received incentives from 5 organizations including everVision.

9. Actively organize cross-ecological exchanges and jointly build Web3

At the end of 2023, the "sudden emergence" of BRC20 and inscriptions triggered another wave of market enthusiasm. Both the Bitcoin and Arweave ecosystems are committed to promoting the vision of decentralization and constantly breaking through traditional limitations through innovative technologies and application scenarios. As early as June 2023, PermaDAO began to pay attention to and connect with BTC ecological project parties, and finally From October 23rd to 24th, PermaDAO and Layer Two Labs jointly held a two-day BTC & Arweave-themed seminar.

For this seminar, PermaDAO invited a strong lineup of guests from the BTC and Arweave ecosystems to discuss and share; guests from the Bitcoin ecosystem included: Paul Sztorc, the founder of LayerTwoLabs, Andre Serrano, the product manager of sBTC, and Dr., the product manager of Babylon. Sankha Banerjee, co-founder and CEO of DLC.Link Aki Balogh, YakiHonne's business operations director, and BITMAIN's marketing manager Margie Feng;

This seminar promoted a further understanding of the ecology of both parties, and the project parties also found a better way to integrate the two ecologies, which was well received ~

10. Open cooperation, we are always on the road
