Project Name: BanklessDAO
Project Description and why it’s classified as a Public Good:
BanklessDAO has a proven track record of funding and producing high-quality educational content, enabling individuals to understand and embrace the concepts of web3 and decentralized technologies. Since its inception, the DAO has provided more than 200 million BANK to fund several educational initiatives and onboarding activities.
The DAO offers a DAO crash course for people to learn how to DAO while learning about crypto. Guilds in BanklessDAO serve the function of onboarding new members through experiential learning, empowering them to take leadership roles, maintain project documents, write grant proposals, and participate in governance of the guild and the DAO. Many BanklessDAO members have found full-time jobs in crypto or have started their own crypto startups around the world.
