WhalerDAO is a community of builders, researchers, legal experts, and community influencers who are dedicated to help solve the plethora of problems that the world is facing, using the power of blockchain and decentralized finance (DeFi). We call ourselves whalers, because we intend to take the control of DeFi protocols away from the rich & powerful “whales” and give it into the hands of the people, which is necessary for preventing DeFi from becoming just another tool for the rich to get even richer. The WhalerDAO Manifesto The WhalerDAO Blog Our Discord community What we do? Influence - We collaborate with the various DeFi protocols to use governance as an agent for positive sum impact, transitioning from plutocracy to democracy and convincing the communities that DeFi should be used for funding charitable causes. Develop - We develop useful tools for the DeFi community to understand how governance power is distributed and how votes are decided. Research - We do research into novel models of governance and token distribution that prevent the domination of rich & powerful groups and individuals, such as Conviction Voting, Quadratic Voting, Quadratic Funding, and the Windfall Clause 2. Tree TREE is the first initiative of WhalerDAO to create a DeFi protocol that benefits charitable causes. The value created by TREE will is allocated to several pools, one being a Charity Pool. TREE also serves as the Governance Token of the TREE Charity Pool, meaning TREE holders receive a vote in how the Charity Fund is allocated to each Charity. Resource on TREE: Intro Blog Post Smart Contracts Goals of our Grant: So far we are completely self funding. We have launched a DAO on IDChain and have built the Smart Contracts for TREE. Before deploying TREE, we'd like to have the contracts audited first to reduce risk to TREE holders. WhalerDAO plans for utilizing funding: Our plan is to use the donations to help pay for a security audit of the smart contracts used in our first project TREE, an elastic supply token that generates funding for charities. The donations we receive in excess will directly fund the charity treasury used by TREE, and will eventually be paid out to charities as decided by TREE holders using Conviction Voting. If you also believe that we should be working towards how to use DeFi for good, help the ecosystem and fund our grant. This is a community driven project, so we're reaching out to you the community for help. https://whalerdao.org/https://twitter.com/WhalerDAO
