Our workshops are free, part of our public goods project.\n\nWe will feature a new NFT Expo called Expo DAO Ashe 2025, which will be featured in a blockchain integrated metaverse site where participants can connect, purchase NFTs directly, join our community, and participate in our governance and SocialFi just logging in with Wallet Connect, and interact with smart contracts. We want to build our metaverse as an integrated blockchain product. Right now we have a metaverse design as a 3D graphical design of the metaverse we wish to build.\n\nHaving our own metaverse server will allow us to be innovative and to experiment with code. We want to add governance solutions, participation tools, as well as fun stuff. We also want to invite other collectives to our project and build it as a community site as well as an NFT marketplace for our artists.\n\nDAO Ashé experimented in the past with their metaverse in Spatial and learned the type of use cases that can be experimented with, organising events, showcasing NFT collections from other collectives, and working with avatars and wearables that users can keep on their wallets in a seamless operation via our metaverse, without any intermediaries.\n\nThis integration with the blockchain will allow us to bring other developers and interplay with dApps, as well as access more funding in the future to make it grow and achieve more. \n\nWe also want to offer an educational workshop at various venues in Madrid and also online, highlighting the most innovative blockchain technology for artists and collectors. This specialised workshop will guide participants through the process of minting NFTs directly from our metaverse. Attendees will also learn about the integration of our metaverse with WalletConnect and smart contracts, and how to engage with our DAO. Additionally, we will explore how smart contract capabilities can enhance metaverse functionalities.\n\nDAO Ashé’s core objectives include:\n\nArt and Technology Integration:  Showcasing and explaining artists’ work, showing them how they onboard to Web3, including the use of diverse mediums such as 3D design and printing, photography, animation, audio, and interactive virtual reality content coded with Unity and based on the blockchain.\n\nEducation and Empowerment:  Providing training on blockchain, metaverse development, and social media strategies to support artists in thriving within the Web3 ecosystem, and giving a glimpse to both the public and collectors of the many possibilities and use cases of NFTs.\n\nCultural Representation: Fostering inclusivity by featuring artists from BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and neurodiverse backgrounds, with a strong emphasis on gender and racial diversity.\n\nLive Events: Hosting IRL events with live performances that integrate digital and physical (phygital) technology, streamed online to reach broader audiences.\n\nInnovation and New Use Cases: Finding and testing new use cases is paramount for us, as we want to contribute to the blockchain by providing lateral thinking and community interaction.\n\nOur team has substantial experience in Web3 digital arts and marketing for our work, utilising blockchain technology to create immersive and innovative artistic expressions that push the boundaries of traditional art forms and promote inclusivity in digital spaces. \n\nWhat innovation or value will your project bring to the blockchain?\n\nDAO Ashé 2025 Expo on our metaverse will give voice and training opportunities to diverse communities. These groups ought to participate in Web3, they are traditionally marginalised and underrepresented in the digital space. Our focus on these communities and our commitment to gender diversity will provide a platform for them to share their thoughts and perspectives, Web3 can and must create a more inclusive and equitable digital space, and this project will enrich its community by addressing this lack of representation.\n\nAdditionally, this type of participation can lead to the development of innovative solutions to global challenges that may be overlooked if these communities are not given a voice. It is by creating a more diverse digital space that Web3 can help break down the digital divide and provide new opportunities for these communities to participate in the global economy. \n\n\nWith our blockchain integrated metaverse site, this project would foster the development of decentralised NFT marketplaces, as well as diverse ways of governance, DAO participation and engagement, and community building.\n\n\nWe will actively promote decentralised governance within the Web3 ecosystem by providing in-depth education. By empowering participants to understand and engage with the voting processes, we aim to increase the voter turnout and proposal submissions within our DAO.\n\nOur target audience includes NFT users, collectors, artists, women, gender diverse individuals and BIPOC people from LATAM and Spanish speaking countries.. \n\nFarcaster Integration:\n\nDAO Ashé is already well-connected with the Farcaster community, actively engaging with the LATAM and Spanish communities, as well as the Zora community. Farcaster, a new social media platform, will be instrumental in integrating our Zora mints with Frames and offering special treats to entertain and inform the community about the events and the artists' work.\n\nDuring the events, we aim to work with 25 artists, and also onboard new artists in the ecosystem, targeting 30 new artists through our workshop and presentations. \n\nWe also anticipate significant NFT and blockchain engagement, with live NFT minting from performance art and other NFTs created by artists. We will monitor the volume of NFT sales and transactions on the blockchain, track the total value of NFTs sold during and after the events, and manage the auctioning of NFTs in both live and online formats.\n\nAdoption of Cutting-Edge Technologies: Blockchain and NFTs\n\nWe have been working with the metaverse and experimenting with different types of events that could be conducted in that space. We believe that an NFT Expo should experiment with formats and find use cases for NFTs. Our new collection will include digital illustrations, photography, 3D, animation, film, poetry, AI, and music NFTs.\n\nIn our experimentation path, we pursue many different ways to work with NFTs. To this end, we will encourage the public to engage with the blockchain from the beginning of the event by issuing an NFT which will be used as a premium visitors’ ticket. The public will be able to quickly start their introduction to Web3 by scanning a QR code on entry and issue a POAP and also open a wallet, if needed.\n\nAs explained above, two groups of artists from our DAO will do several live performance arts pieces. Afterward, the photographs and videos taken will be immediately uploaded as NFTs for the visitors to mint at the event.\n\n\n\n\n\nb. Metaverse Integration\n\nBy incorporating a metaverse component, the project leverages the growing interest in virtual and augmented reality experiences. This innovation keeps the project at the forefront of technological advancement and appeals to tech-savvy and curious audiences.\n\nOur collection will include 3D sculptures, and we will rent a 3D printer to print one of the 3D NFTs at the event. We will also feature a video wall to show the metaverse gallery, and visitors will be able to interact with it using mixed reality glasses.\n\n\nc. Tangible Public Goods Use Case\n\nThis project, via its exhibition and training objectives, has a tangible use case in its ability to economically empower artists, bridge the digital divide, provide a sustainable and scalable model, and contribute to solving global challenges.\n\nIt will reward artists for their participation, and also give them an opportunity to earn more money as workshop facilitators in the in-real-life (IRL) event, which will also be streamed over social media.\n\nBy fostering a more inclusive and equitable digital space, the project enhances the lives of individual artists and contributes to broader goals of social justice and technological advancement. DAO Ashé 2025 Expo Workshop will be a free event. Our wish is to onboard as many people as possible to Web3 in a sustainable way, so that they continue growing in the ecosystem, and both artists, collectors, and technologists want to build in the blockchain in the foreseeable future.\nMain gains to the Web3 ecosystem:\n\n\n- Growth of the ecosystem by attracting new artists and creators from diverse communities and gender\n- Examples of governance and good use case as funders of public goods causes\n- A new public repository being built \n- Support for a public goods project\n\nMain milestone: \n\nIntegrate the event’s live performances and NFT collection into the metaverse so that they can be showcased with mixed reality glasses and event prompts that trigger changes in the metaverse animation.\n\nDeliverables: \n\nLaunch metaverse gallery showcasing NFTs  and governance tools.\n\nEnable audience interaction through social connect on the metaverse and blockchain contracts and wallets. \n\nAlso explain our repositories in Github.\n\nBudget Allocation: Metaverse hosting and programming, Unity packages and Wallet Connect integration services, optimisation of Unity design.\n\nCompletion Criteria: Successful integration of the blockchain on our metaverse server, audience participation via wallet. Creation of public repository in Github.\n\nAreas and Regions of Development\n\nDAO Ashé primarily operates in the following regions and will be promoted there:\n\nLatin America (LATAM): A significant focus, particularly in Mexico City, through collaborations with local artists and organisations like NFTianguis and CONECTAO. \n\nThe project supports LATAM diasporic artists and promotes Latinx representation in the Web3 space.\nSpain (Madrid and Barcelona): ETSIT, Siroco Arts, La Parcería, and Barcelona Activa are art and blockchain technology hubs.\n\nUnited States (New York): Key members of DAO Ashé, including Alma (VJ Deliria), are based in New York. The project maintains connections with the Latinx artist community in the U.S. and intends to bridge these connections with events in Europe and Latin America.\n\nThese regions are crucial for the growth and development of the DAO Ashé community, which aims to bring together artists, technologists, and collectors from diverse backgrounds and locations.", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "ssplashh"}, "recipient": "0x8cE37B3a314642210d7B4a4EE3A1D37bCF80dbAd"}}
