Our community engagement and user adoption strategy for Project Merlin is designed to foster active participation and provide a seamless entry point into the Allo ecosystem. Here’s how we plan to achieve this:

Quadratic Funding Integration in MerlinCap DAO: By adopting Allo Protocol’s quadratic funding model, we’ll encourage greater community involvement in funding decisions. This will also introduce our users to the mechanics of Allo’s democratic funding, deepening engagement and building familiarity with Allo’s principles.

Collaborative Grant Rounds: We plan to run grant rounds in partnership with Allo, offering early-stage Web3 projects exposure to funding and talent via Merlin’s Guild. This approach not only benefits emerging projects but also reinforces Allo’s position as a leading support network within the Web3 ecosystem.

Educational Initiatives: To onboard and educate users, we’ll create tutorials and host AMAs around Allo’s funding mechanics and best practices, making it easier for new contributors to join and benefit from the ecosystem.

Gamified Engagement through Excalibur: Our Excalibur platform will offer quests and rewards for users who participate in Allo-supported funding rounds, driving increased activity and expanding Allo’s community reach.

Inter-DAO Collaborations: We plan to establish collaborations between MerlinCap DAO and other DAOs using Allo’s protocols, helping to build an interconnected, community-focused funding landscape that extends Allo’s impact.
