👋 We’re EarthFund, the decentralized platform using blockchain, DAOs, and crypto to revolutionize the giving economy and give you more of a voice in the shape of tomorrow.

This is post #20 of our weekly updates on everything that happens behind the scenes at EarthFund’s (distributed) HQ.

Happy Monday, Earthlings 🌍

With the platform in the final rounds of live testing happening as we speak, we’ve switched from Build Mode to Grow and Scale Mode.

Our mission has gone from “build the best launchpad for world-saving DAOs” to “launch thousands of world-saving DAOs”.

To that end, we’ve been busy:

🌍 Working on a marketing and outreach plan to scale the platform and raise awareness

🌍 Having positive calls with investors to secure the $15M we’re seeking to continue building the platform and growing the brand

🌍 Developing new features for v2 of the platform (more information soon)

🌍 Speaking to some really exciting people who want to launch a DAO on our platform

🌍 Tweaking and improving our new and improved website

🌍 Working with lawyers on corporate restructuring to secure funding (we’ll put this up for a DAO vote as soon as it’s all buttoned up.)

And speaking of our new website, look at the difference it has made 🚀

Traffic is up by 40% despite all the bad press surrounding the industry.

And as part of that plan to scale, we’re going to be switching our community updates from weekly to monthly so we can spend more time on outreach, marketing and strategy.

Making the final changes to the live platform before it opens up 🚀

As we’ve said before, some of the final bits of development to the platform need to happen live.

(Because our platform is so expansive and does so much, we couldn’t do it in a testnet environment.)

Right now, we’re focusing on:

🌍 Fixing a few bugs that we caught in runaway states and fringe cases

🌍 Restructuring the backend infrastructure to create a more cohesive experience switching from DAO to DAO.

🌍 Implementing a universal home for your DAO rewards. (AKA, one place you can go to claim everything.)

🌍 Optimizing the DAO management dashboard

🌍 General QA and testing to catch any bugs or errors

🌍 Implementing the new token minting system that decouples 1Earth from the minting process

These fixes should be completed this week, but we’ll update you when we have a precise date.

(And you’ll likely see all the noise we make on social media.)

How can you help? Help us spread the word

🚨 If you wish to submit a DAO on the platform, please wait until we open applications to use the website. Do not submit proposals directly to Snapshot. This isn’t how the platform works and will create confusion for new users. We have disabled this ability, but wanted to be fully transparent in the update.

  • Share our new website far and wide → as we get ready to scale up, any improved brand awareness is going to be huge for us. Sharing the link on Twitter, etc… or in groups with a message of support would be really helpful.
  • Leave a positive comment on KuCoin’s new comment functionality (something genuine rather than hype-y would be even better)
  • Follow us on Twitter and give our posts a like/retweet → this would be huge for us. Our Twitter profile is key to spreading the word beyond crypto and into the kind of spaces where future DAO members (and maybe even founders) hang out.
  • Join our Telegram community (if you’re not a member already)
  • Talk about EarthFund in EarthFund-adjacent spaces (maybe mental health communities or carbon/climate change communities on Twitter)
  • Tweet about EarthFund or interact with us on social media (got to feed those social media algorithms!)
  • Ask us questions — we’re always available to answer questions in Telegram. (And if our community team doesn’t have the answers, we’ll get them for you.)
  • Leave a positive comment and bullish rating on CoinMarketCap
  • Like 1Earth on CoinGecko

Until the next update, a massive thanks for being part of this journey with us!

Let’s build a better tomorrow, together.

EarthFund takes the power of centralized organizations like governments and global charities and gives it to communities dedicated to causes.

It allows everyday people like you to affect change. And using crypto and the blockchain, it lets you have a voice in decisions and fund the causes you believe in.
