Change is in the air and I am excited to share proposals for funding using the innovative Catalyst Challenge system within the Cardano Ecosystem. As a lifelong learner and tech enthusiast, I am thrilled to throw my hat in the ring and possibly be hired by the community to contribute towards goals that we share.
In this new chapter of my blockchain adventures I am putting forth a collection of Catalyst proposals that each provide unique value to the Cardano Ecosystem. These proposals weave education with fun, and deliver real product value at the edge of emerging technology.
My principles for creating and delivering on these proposals:
Fun and Educational
A unique experiment or an existing use-case done in a new way
Delivers an end-to-end experience for learners, developers, and end-users
There are 2 planks in the Catalyst Fund 10 DAOGEN Roadmap, DAOGEN AI and DAOGEN Identity. Developed in parallel, they meet in the end to establish a new type of social network, built with Atala PRISM V2 Decentralized Identity primitives, inhabited by Humans and their AI Assistants.
DAOGEN AI
Falcon A. Quest - AI for Customer Support
Zoe Austeen - AI for Marketing & PR
DAOGEN Master - AI for storytelling, quests, and blockchain operations
DAOGEN Identity
By doing this work in the open, with tutorials, and open source code we are building the foundations for new AI driven user-onboarding, education, customer support, technical support, media and PR assistance, that can be leveraged and used by many other projects.
DAOGEN is also an ideal sandbox for exploring the application of new primitives for building decentralized identity applications, unlocked by Atala PRISM V2. In particular, we will build a new construct, the Self Sovereign Social Graph, and build an SDK enabling any application to offer social networking capabilities built on top of the DID, and DIDComm V2 standards, implemented by Atala PRISM V2. By testing this in the fictional world of the DAOGEN, we can expose players to new technology in a fun way, while also learning about the user experience of owning and managing a social-graph.

Staying in touch!
I will continue my tradition of holding daily office hours for the community, please don’t hesitate to schedule time with me!
We will track all projects using Github, you can stay in touch with the Roadmap and project details here!
We will use this Substack for additional communications from the world of DAOGEN!
