Community Collaboration

  • We believe in coordination, not speculation
    • The Curio DAO is a coordination tool, not a token. We vote with the cards
  • The DAO is organized into Guilds, which are supportive spaces that act as the “first stop” for anyone looking to help out or share an idea
  • No secret sponsorship — any paid collaborations are fully transparent
  • We value collaboration over the "speed of one." Consensus is a feature, not a bug
  • Instead of oversight and control, we start from trust and communication. We work to empower groups and favor decentralized decision-making
  • We believe community contributions deserve compensation from the DAO
  • We believe that community contributions deserve compensation, the level of which can grow with the DAO over time. See the Coordinape page for more info
  • We favor breaking large projects into smaller ones and getting them across the finish line
  • We believe in iterative change. The best things are built over time, not perfect the first try
  • We encourage bold and original ideas
