Dream DAO’s Generation Accelerator (gen/acc) closely aligns with the round's focus on community and education within the Octant ecosystem by promoting a culture of learning, mentorship, and collaborative building among young innovators. As a youth-led organization, Dream DAO has been actively empowering Gen Z to harness web3 technologies for social impact since 2021 through educational sessions, internships, and community gatherings. Our programs, such as our Web3 x Social Impact Bootcamp and Learning Together sessions, provide participants with the tools and knowledge to develop impactful public goods, aligning with Octant’s decentralization and community-driven growth goals.

The gen/acc initiative takes this a step further by providing structured support, resources, and mentorship to young innovators, helping them turn ideas into actionable projects. Through our pilot program, we will engage 15 university students from diverse academic backgrounds, offering them hands-on experiences in building web3 projects that focus on social good. The mentorship, education, and collaborative community fostered through gen/acc will cultivate the next generation of builders ready to contribute to the broader Octant ecosystem, strengthening both the community and its educational impact.
