daospace - Transparency Report (Contributor Cards)
Grants Program Sprint #1 awardee
Date: September 13, 2024
Grant Amount: $5,000 in RARI
Disbursed: $2,500 RARI (50% of the grant has been received). The remaining $2,500 RARI is set to be disbursed later in alignment with our project’s milestones.
Project Overview:
Our project aims to create 3D customizable Contributor Cards for DAO members, offering a gamified way to showcase forum activity and skills. These cards will function as tradable business cards, granting intellectual property rights to each contributor. The cards will link forum data to wallet addresses, allowing users to highlight their involvement in the Rari Foundation. The level of your contributions will determine the card’s rarity and unlock exclusive platform perks, such as ad space for each holder.
Beyond serving as a recognition of reputation, the focus is on empowering contributors with intellectual property rights—much like a basketball player’s trading card. However, each time a Contributor Card is bought or sold, royalties will be paid to the contributor it represents, thanks to being built on Rari Chain. Users will also have the ability to mint their own card collections, enabling them to create their own marketplaces directly on daospace.
Milestones Achieved:
Design and Development:
- We received the mockup design from our graphic designer.
- A 3D version of the Contributor Card was created by our 3D designer in .glb format. This file allows for full manipulation within the app using a mouse, providing a highly interactive experience. Users can freely move the card in all directions, simulating a futuristic, translucent design that incorporates gradient colors inspired by the Rari Foundation’s palette.
Integration and Real-Time Customization Features:
- We are currently integrating ThreeJS, an open-source JavaScript library, to enable real-time 3D rendering of the Contributor Cards directly within the app. This feature will allow users to customize their cards in real-time by uploading a profile image and username.
- Each member of the DAO will be whitelisted, and we’ll connect your forum data linked to the wallet address used for claiming their Contributor Card.
Forum Data Integration:
- We successfully scraped and updated all the forum data for the Rari Foundation, ensuring that the stats displayed on the back of the Contributor Cards are accurate and up to date. The design mimics the layout of traditional sports cards, with stats and achievements prominently featured.
Current Status and Next Steps:
- Next steps: We are working on creating an an experience where users can mint their Contributor Cards directly onto the Rari Chain within the app. This prototype is under local development and is expected to be live on the app by early October.
Call to Action:
To make sure your Contributor Card accurately reflects your achievements and contributions to the Rari Foundation, please describe yourself and your skills in the comments below. Our AI model will combine your input with the data we’ve scraped from the forum to generate a detailed bio that will appear on the back of your Contributor Card underneath your stats.
Additionally, please provide your wallet address so we can add you to the whitelist, enabling you to claim your Contributor Card once it’s live. This will ensure your bio highlights your contributions to the Rari Foundation and showcases your skills to the community.
We appreciate the support from the Rari Foundation and look forward to seeing your contributions on forum to assist with generating accurate bios for your Contributor Cards.
Best Regards,
daospace
