Commons Stack contributes to the advancement of token engineering by creating sustainable commons-inspired token economies frameworks and the dashboards to parameterize them through open-source web3 tools and protocols. We helped launch the Token Engineering Commons (TEC) by developing its governance and funding structures, providing technical support for its Augmented Bonding Curve (ABC) configuration dashboard, and promoting collaboration among token engineers and researchers. Since its launch in mid-2021, the TEC has quickly become a thriving community, working together to fund and create better opportunities for token engineering projects. The $TEC token price has performed about as well as Ethereum, yet all the community has done is give out grants to Token Engineering Projects. 

We’re seeking funding from this grant to enable us to build out a modular configuration dashboard where modules for Tao Voting, Conviction Voting, Hatching, and the ABC can all live and be voted on in one website. It will also be available for developers to create their own modules for configuring other governance and economic primitives. Throughout the process, we will work closely with token engineers and researchers to ensure that the dashboard is highly functional and dependable. Our goal is to create a reliable tool that enables DAOs to easily configure, launch, and reconfigure, successful and sustainable token economies.

We remain committed to advancing the field of token engineering through ongoing research, education, and technical development efforts.
