Our last update was in October, here we are in February and it's time for an updated tour of what happened in the DAO. While the crypto market is still not moving much and no new major trend has emerged, devs are building across the ecosystem.

Here is a tour of the DAO experimentations for the last 4 months:

Muse Launch

Muse launch is an Open, transparent, and liquid NFT minting built on top of Sudoswap. Project founders can launch new NFT collections in a few clicks providing founders and collectors with a new way to distribute their assets if a fair way. The sale can be done with ETH or any ERC20 token.

You can also read the nice article published by Bankless about it here.

Open-sourcing the Pepesea indexer

In 2022 the DAO was aiming to launch a decentralized marketplace in order to offer an alternative to OpenSea. With the high competition in the field (including token farming competition) with launches from LooksRare, Blur: We decided to pause the project and open source our work to benefit the ecosystem.

NFT metadata backend is a toolbox for developers to ingest NFT data including token transfers, ownership, metadata, and trading history on popular marketplaces.

RolodETH: an open-source address labels

During this time we also developed and released RolodETH, an open-source and self-hostable address labels database for the Ethereum network. Developers can access tags and names of addresses, smart contracts, NFT collections, and tokens in an easy way. You can read more about it on our Github.

The DAO also worked on smaller projects like a Javascript ordinals transaction decoder, improving ETHCMD, and exploring ideas of games and protocols that didn’t make it yet as convincing products…

Muse reached its 1M max supply

Muse was distributed in several ways to the DAO members: the initial Very Nifty game, NFT20 liquidity farming, and ETH/MUSE LP providing. When creating the token back in 2020 we decided on a 1M total supply. After reaching this number, the community decided to burn the admin keys of the token to make sure this number will be the final maximum one.

Future DAO votes

In a quest for more decentralization, we are looking to remove one co-founder (Adam) of the multi-sig and replace him with TB that is member of the community since the beginning. You can see and discuss the current proposal here.

After the first year of being compensated by the DAO for his contribution, Jules proposed a vote for renewing the compensation for this coming year here. You can see and discuss the current proposal here.

What's next?

We believe the ecosystem is still scratching the surface of what's possible to achieve with NFTs, what they represent, and how they will transform and integrate into real products. The DAO is still committed to exploring new product ideas, developing tools that help and inspire other devs, and more importantly: continue having fun as a community.

As a DAO the product ideas can also come from any member. Feel free to share some ideas on what to build next in our Telegram or Discord if you have any.
