SpaceDAO

SpaceDAO is the intersection of web3 and the emerging space industry - we are building the next generation space organization with web3 tooling to enable the purpose of Space Launch & Tourism to be achieved.

Our Thesis If we can make self organizing organizations work and able to achieve their purpose, then the best example of this technology is achieving one of humanities greatest purposes: Space Exploration.

Our Mission Our primary focus is developing DAO tooling which will address alternative fundraising and membership/participation mechanisms; these tools will solve critical problems new space companies are facing, such as acquiring capital and retaining talent. Furthermore, these new types of organizations present the opportunity to be more agile, iterative and innovative, compared to older legacy space organizations.

Our proof case for the demonstration of these technologies is the SpaceRanch DAO. The purpose of this DAO is to develop space launch infrastructure within the state of Wyoming; and amplify the spacetech and fintech corridor between Cheyenne and Colorado Springs.

MVP Demonstration The SpaceDAO demonstration is of our DAO tooling concepts for ‘Liquid Membership’ - the mechanism for participating in governance.

We have bridged two NEAR ecosystem applications, Mintbase and AstroDAO - where we are able to permit governance participation rights to the DAOwith an NFT transaction.

After successful purchase of the NFT membership from our Mintbase minter page, an add new member proposal is automatically generated to the SpaceRanch DAO directly through AstroDAO’s smart contract sputnik. This process allows for the new member to the join the organization autonomously and in a more decentralized operation.

Our platform uses live Mintbase NFT listings, and consumes them into our website through the mintbase API. End users can then purchase the respective NFT’s as a deliverables directly to their NEAR address as membership identifiers.

After fulfillment of this purchase lifecycle, the user is then prompted to authenticate into our SpaceRanch DAO contract (AstroDAO’s sputnik contract) and a membership proposal is automatically drafted for the purchaser as a prospective member of the DAO.

Business Development We have registered with the new Wyoming business designation, the DAO LLC. With this designation we have opened up a real world bank account, which allows the Space Ranch DAO LLC to function as a first of it’s kind liquidity rail between protocol funding and infrastructure development, payroll, etc.

We have an office residency at the WTBC building on campus at the University of Wyoming, and have begun the process to engage with interns to help with our development efforts.
