How Does Dapped Work?

Currently in prelaunch, Dapped’s aim is to become a key resource for the dAPP community where new and developing decentralised games, tools, platforms and registries will be reviewed, discussed and listed. It will also be a place for technologies to achieve the “Hall of Awesome” status that will identify ethical and innovative projects that are not just get-rich-quick schemes. This awards will help set the standards expected for future technologies and help build the landscape for dAPP’s. Dapped is also keen to develop working partnerships with these projects and we hope that the Dapped community will help them by sharing ideas and experiences to reach a common goal in dAPP development. We want to help identify what good looks like, and shout from the rooftops when we find it.

We previously provided an overview of Dapped which can be seen here. However we wanted to provide more information about how this project will work and how you can get involved.

The Dapped Community

Everyone is welcome to join the Dapped community, and you don’t have to be a developer or a cryptographic engineer to take part. Essentially Dapped is looking to build a community of people who are interested in dAPP’s and want to contribute in a number of ways towards a technological revolution.

To contribute, there are five key roles within the Dapped community:

Writers:

Writers are responsible for creating reviews highlighting their experiences with dAPP’s. Reviews will contain an overview of d dAPP’s technology along with due diligence on the project, identifying evidence of suspicious business practices and highlighting innovative use cases. Writers will have the option to use their own style.

Editors:

Editors will be responsible for checking the quality and consistency of the Writer’s review and make amendments or updates prior to publishing in order to maintain a level of quality. To help with editing reviews.

Marketers:

The key role of the Marketer will involve developing strategies to promote and raise awareness of Dapped in a positive and ethical way.

Developers:

Developers will have the freedom to work on projects such as building tools for better visualisation of metrics.

Designers:

The role of the designer will be to create and evolve the image of Dapped in addition to working alongside the Developers to aid in their design, and to help produce rich media for feature articles and marketing material.

At present, Dapped’s focus is populating reviews and content for current dAPP’s, therefore we are looking for Writers and Editors to help achieve this. Shortly afterwards, Marketers will be able to implement their agreed strategies to promote Dapped and grow the community, whilst the Developers and Designers will work on applications to improve Dapped’s function.

So what do you get in return for all this work? Well in addition to being part of the next step in technological development and helping to cement Dapped’s place in the ecosystem, you will also have the opportunity to receive tokenised profit rights. Dapped is keen to make its community a central focus and how better to achieve this than to reward its members for the work they contribute? This also means that every contributor will have a part to play in making Dapped a success.

How Does the Tokenisation Process Work? (and what Do I Get?)

The below diagram provides an overview on how the current system will work. As previously mentioned, Dapped is in the early stages of developing this process and we will eventually be looking to use a platform such as Aragon to improve transparency and decentralisation.

Tokens will be awarded for repeatable work as follows;

Writing dAPP Review = 60 DAPPED Tokens

Editing dAPP Review = 30 DAPPED Tokens

We will give 1 token for about $1 worth of work, and will be scaled with the token equivalent of stock splits. Therefore it is in the community’s interest to grow Dapped in order to eventually make profit via various methods in order to reward contributors for their work.

We really want to reward great contributors and allow community members to be paid for their work without requiring a minimum amount of time spent. The tokenised profit share model is intended to allow people to be rewarded even if they only contribute a few hours per month. This would not be possible in traditional finance.
