This exclusivity restricts innovative contributions and the democratization of space-related activities.\n\n**Solution:**\nDeepVenture DAO proposes a decentralized model for ecosystem building in space exploration, leveraging blockchain technology and a DAO structure. This approach facilitates global collaboration and resource sharing, allowing individuals and smaller entities to participate in and contribute to building more space-focused DAOs and equip them with IP-NFTs. The platform aims to ensure that space science and engineering benefits all of humanity, not just the privileged few, by promoting open access to data, decentralized decision-making, and equitable resource distribution across various Space DAOs.\n\n**Roadmap and Timeline:**\n\n1. **Initiation Phase (3 months):** Establish the DAO structure, onboard initial Space DAO builders, and develop partnerships with key space research organizations and technology providers.\n2. **Development Phase (3 months):** Develop the technological infrastructure to support decentralized space projects, including secure collaboration platforms and data-sharing protocols.\n3. **Deployment Phase (6 months):** Launch pilot incubator for space-focused DeSci DAOs using collaboratively developed technology and methodologies.\n4. **Expansion Phase (Years 2+):** Scale operations to support larger research communities, including potential student groups, and expand the community of contributors and stakeholders.\n\n**Implementation Strategy:**\nDeepVenture DAO will use a phased approach to build its community of Space DAO builders and technological capabilities. The project will start with small, manageable communities to establish a track record, relying heavily on community engagement and iterative feedback to refine and expand its operations.

Our mission is to democratize access to space technology, foster an open innovation ecosystem, and enable a thriving community of researchers, developers, and enthusiasts to propel the frontiers of human knowledge and capability in space.\n\n### Objectives\n\n1. **Community Building in Deep-Tech:** We’re establishing and nurturing a vibrant community focused on space exploration, leveraging DeSci platforms for open dialogue, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.\n2. **Space DAO Incubator Program:** We’re launching and managing the first Space DAO Incubator, a program designed to support and accelerate space-related research communities by providing funding, mentorship, and access to a network of industry experts.\n3. **Decentralized Science Tools for Academia:** We’re utilizing decentralized science (DeSci) tools to promote open science principles, facilitating the tokenization of academic papers and intellectual property to ensure transparency, accessibility, and innovation in scientific research.\n\n### Key Initiatives\n\n- **Deep-Tech Community Forums and Workshops:** Organize regular virtual and physical meetings to discuss new technologies, share research, and collaborate on projects, ensuring active participation from a global community.\n- **Space DAO Incubator:** A comprehensive support system for emerging space projects, providing resources such as seed funding, technical expertise, and go-to-market strategies.\n- **Tokenization of Research and IP:** Implement blockchain-based platforms to tokenize research outputs and intellectual property, making them freely accessible for academic advancement and commercial exploration while ensuring creators are rewarded and recognized for their contributions.\n\nWe focus on big tech areas like earth, environmental, and space sciences. This gives us special help to those making decentralized science and space tools.\n\n### Achievements\nWe supported ecosystem growth in Decentralized Science with the use of Gitcoins Grants Stack and the organization of the latest DeSci and Space grant rounds on Gitcoin while we verified several concepts of building open-source marketplaces for Decentralized Science and Space Exploration.\n\n**Past stats: DeSpace Grants Round (Nov, 2023)**\n\n- **$2500 Matching**\n- **$1,019,32 Crowdfunded**\n- **19 Total Projects**\n- **160 Donors**\n- **560 Total Donations**\n\n**Past stats: DeSci Grants Round (May, 2023)**\n\n- **$75,000 Matching**\n- **$18,623,54 Crowdfunded**\n- **65 Total Projects**\n- **267 Donors**\n- **1,042 Total Donations**\n\nWe're building a strong community and toolset to accelerate scientific progress and the pace of innovation to utilize Space technologies such as satellite imagery for impact measurement and verifications!\n\n### The Path Forward\nWe believe that by being open, transparent and working together, we can do big things in Space for the benefit here on Earth. That's also the reason why we're supporting the newcomers of the Decentralized Space Exploration ecosystem with guidance and initial funding.\n\n### Accelerated Scientific Progress\nUltimately, we envision a future where decentralized methods are transforming venture building and corporate innovation. Using rapid prototyping, we can speed up advancements in hardtech, similar to the progress seen in biotechnology. The goal is to make open, shared, and cooperative design, engineering, and production a reality, moving from fiction to fact with global innovation communities.\n\n### Impact\n\n- **Enhancing Accessibility:** By breaking down barriers to entry for space technology and research, we empower a diverse range of participants to contribute to and benefit from space-related advancements.\n- **Promoting Open Science:** Our commitment to using DeSci tools aligns with global movements towards open science, ensuring that research materials and data are openly shared to accelerate scientific progress.\n- **Fostering Innovation:** Through the Space DAO Incubator, we support groundbreaking projects that push the boundaries of what is possible in space governance and research.\n\n### Why Gitcoin?\n\nSupport from the Gitcoin community would enable Deep Venture DAO to expand its reach and impact, secure necessary funding for the Space DAO Incubator, and enhance the development and adoption of DeSci tools. Our alignment with Gitcoin’s ethos of open source and community-driven projects makes this proposal a strategic step towards achieving mutual goals in the realm of open and decentralized science.\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectTwitter": "DeepVentureio"}, "recipient": "0xAe90CeC6d54633C8fFb5F55C69DB296775A2B4F0"}}
