These challenges hinder the full potential of decentralized organizations and can lead to inefficient or unfair outcomes.\n\n### Not just DAOs\n\nWe argue this is not a blockchain specific problem. **Communities do not scale**, they lose efficiency as they grow bigger, delve in internal & external politics, conflicts and forget what they were about. \n\nWe argue that web technologies, an *infinite garden* of Ethereum, the cypherpunk is an answer, \n\n## Solution \nOur autonomous competence identification protocol addresses these issues by:\n\n- **Tokenizing Competence**: Participants earn reputation tokens based on their contributions and ability to align with group preferences.\n- **Composable Architecture**: Enables the creation of interconnected DAOs, promoting specialization and adaptability.\n- **Privacy Preservation**: Protects individual preferences while ensuring transparency and accountability.\n- **Resistance to Manipulation**: Mitigates risks of collusion and Sybil attacks through game-theoretic mechanisms.\n\n\n# Impact \nOur protocol has the potential to revolutionize governance in DAOs and beyond. By fostering a more engaging, equitable, and secure decision-making process, we can empower communities to achieve their goals and unlock the full potential of decentralized collaboration.\n\n# Grant Purpose\n\nThis grant will enable us to:\n- **Continue Research**: Refine the protocol's theoretical foundations and explore its applicability in various domains.\n- **Develop Applications**: Build user-friendly integrations for popular communication platforms like Telegram, Discord, Farcaster, and Slack.\n- **Foster Adoption**: Engage with the community, gather feedback, and drive the adoption of the protocol in real-world DAOs.\n\nJoin us in shaping the future of decentralized governance!\n\n# About the Team\n\nWe are a small team of passionate researchers and developers committed to advancing the field of decentralized governance. Our expertise spans cryptography, social science, software development, and blockchain technology.\n\nWe are looking for more people to join working with us.
