Matchbox DAO

Time to get serious

Big update incoming.

As we mentioned for our short-term roadmap, we think the top priority for Core Contributors is to produce some form of introductory content about on-chain gaming that we can publish on our Mirror.

It can be about the vision of on-chain gaming, a specific project you want to build, a technical specification about some tooling, etc. You can obviously cooperate if you already know that some people want to tackle the same things as you.

You can submit your posts in this section of the Airtable. We sent you invites to your provided email addresses. If you have trouble with the Airtable, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Here's a screenshot of what it should look like. You can simply add a new row with your name and submit a link to your post there.

Summary of Core Contributor Call #1

Next up, a summary of the recent Core Contributor Call #1 can be read here. We actually recorded it, but a sound setting was off so we didn't catch the sound - sorry for that. Keep in mind this is already somewhat outdated, as you will see from the updates below.

We're hard at work tackling the coordination of the DAO. To that end, we've taken several steps.

1.) We published and invited you to an Airtable with a list of all Contributors and their skillsets/interests/affiliated projects.

You can start editing your entries and add or change any missing information. This also gives everyone a better overview over all involved members so it will be easier to organize ourselves.

2.) Join the DAO Constitution working group.

We have prepared two drafts - a short, straight-to-the-point mission statement, and a more fleshed out document which might become our DAO Constitution, so to speak.

You can find these documents linked in #dao-constitution. We can use this channel to discuss everything together - we want you to have a say and be involved - then edit accordingly and publish them on our Mirror. The channel will only be visible to Core Contributors for now.

3.) We will have a wiki where we document everything.

It's this GitBook - and it is very much WIP. We have lots of resources such as our Notion with relevant information that we'll work on feeding into this GitBook.

You can discuss and contribute to the GitBook in the Discord channel #gitbook-wiki.

4.) After everyone has gained a better overview over all Contributors and their interests/skillsets/roles, we can better organize the working groups.

We currently have working groups for:

Content writing/organization

  • DAO Constitution
  • GitBook Wiki

Primitives

  • VRF
  • Wallet UX
  • Standards/interop
  • zk tooling/math-physics

These can be expanded upon and re-iterated based on your skillsets, interests and contributions.

For example, we can further split them up into something like this:

  • Core dev (primitive x)
  • Writing team (wiki)
  • Writing team (content)
  • etc.

and give the corresponding roles in the Discord.

It would probably make sense to have a few people who can help coordinate these working groups - think product manager/CTO. If this is something you want to be involved with, please reach out!
