Besides building a revolutionary funding stream for public goods, there is a huge secondary impact from the fact that we need to port over Aragon OS to build out our system. [AragonOS](https://client.aragon.org) is one of the most prolific and trusted true DAO frameworks that exist. Unlike most snapshot DAOs, AragonOS creates executable DAOs, there is no multisig in the middle that needs to execute the decisions the DAO makes, which is why we build on top of this battle-tested framework. While our system has a specific template, including complex apps like Tao Voting and the Augmented Bonding Curve, the simple Aragon DAO templates will also be deployable on Mantle from our work. Currently, on Polygon over 4,000 Aragon DAOs have been deployed and 3-5 are deployed every week, and that is just one chain! AragonOS has been deployed to several chains and according to DeepDAO the top 5,000 Aragon DAOs are holding over 6 billion dollars across several chains!

The Commons Incubator program will build on top of that infrastructure to support Mantle projects in launching Commons DAOs on the Mantle network. The Incubator program will consist of workshops, educational resources and guest speakers focused on the management of shared resources, including policy design, web3 governance and token engineering needs for the community.

The outcome of this work will be:
- AragonOS and Commons Stack Apps deployed to Mantle.
- A Commons DAO incubator on Mantle that could run 2 cohorts per year.
- The 1st cohort of 2-3 projects that successfully raise funds and launch their Commons DAOs. 
- A stakeholder study to capture Mantle community insights and/or considerations that will be incorporated into the Incubator program.
- The selection criteria and process for the 1st cohort with special attention to DEI.

Additionally, we will bring the toolkit needed for launching Commons DAOs on Mantle. These include a launch configuration dashboard, the Hatch fundraise template and versions for each of the 1st cohort projects, and the swap page for all ABC-tokens launched on Mantle. We believe that our DAO formation toolkit would be a great unique addition to Mantle’s growing stack of tools for developers.

The end goal is to enable the Mantle projects to be able to design and launch their own token economy that can reward them fairly for the value they create, with or without the direct help of Commons Stack.
