Inspiration
Crowdfunding, Crowd cube and angel investments seem like great ideas but come with many risks and a bad incentive structure.
Current Problems
- The founders misuse the raised investments. Stakeholders are not protected.
- Not every scenario can be dealt with deterministically via a smart contract
- Community assets are controlled by a small number of people. Hence the power to change decisions is not distributed equally.
Our Vision
Our goal is to create a safe haven, and transparent community for investors and founders. We want to help invest in projects with a clear path to decentralisation and a clear use case for their token. We want to build a community-driven organisation that is clear about its roadmap and goals.
Why is Q really necessary for us?
- Q enables us to define guidelines as to how funds have to be spent.
- Enforces rules via the Q governance.
- Dispute resolution procedures.
- Penalizes by slashing of tokens in case of violations.
- Q allows us to outsource the governance system.
How we built it
We used React, Solidity, Metamask.
Challenges we ran into
- Understanding the key concepts of the Q framework and their constitution.
- Understanding the
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Setting the right incentive structure for founders and reduce scams.
- Setting up the DAO smartcontracts to have proposals and voting.
- Building our own DAO constitution.
What we learned
- The current limitation of DAOs restricts proper organizational structures.
- How to leverage Q in order to build safer DAOs which actually executes the Q constitution.
- Building smart contracts for DAOs to work.
What's next for Accelerator DAO
- Create a more user friendly interface
- Onboard more startups
- Get more investors on board
