The Alien Worlds metaverse has unveiled an innovative proposal system along with six new Union DAOs, aimed at enhancing decentralized governance. This exciting development holds the potential to significantly impact large-scale projects and promote growth within this sci-fi universe.
Understanding the Alien Worlds Worker Proposal System
The Worker Proposal System, a feature introduced earlier in April, is designed to empower the community to propose and develop extensive gaming experiences within the Alien Worlds metaverse. This system is built on two essential components:
Key Components of the Worker Proposal System
- Security Verification: A process to verify critical roles to maintain the integrity of the system.
- Arbiter and Escrow Mechanism: A framework for addressing disputes while facilitating seamless project development.
Verification Process Explained
The verification process mandates that key participants undergo identity verification through Sumsub, a third-party platform. Participants must submit proof of identity and relevant documentation to safeguard the system against fraudulent activities. This step is crucial for individuals involved in large-scale projects, including token awardees, fund custodians, and neutral arbiters.
Arbiter & Escrow System Overview
This system introduces an arbiter who offers neutral oversight on projects utilizing the new proposal mechanism. Successful project funds will be placed in escrow pending independent arbiter review upon project completion. In the event that project milestones are achieved but disagreements arise between workers and Union DAOs, the arbiter can intervene and release escrow funds, providing crucial protection for workers and ensuring ongoing development.
Impact on Syndicate DAOs
This new system is expected to influence only a minor segment of explorers within the ecosystem. Daily operations of Syndicate DAOs and community activities will proceed as usual; the proposal system is tailored for those engaging in larger, more complex projects. To facilitate this distinction, the team has launched the six Union DAOs on September 25th.
“This launch represents a significant step in blending decentralized governance with tangible real-world applications. The Worker Proposal System, reinforced by identity verification and arbiter functions, tests the creation of DAOs capable of managing complex, long-term projects transparently and accountably.”
Introducing Alien Worlds Union DAOs
Union DAOs are specifically designed to enhance transparency in proposals for significant community-driven blockchain games. This new DAO structure operates alongside existing Syndicate DAOs, establishing a robust framework for ambitious web3 gaming projects. Contribute to the future of the six Union DAOs and the broader ecosystem now by staking $TLM tokens with detailed guidance available in this tweet.
Union DAOs share a funding model with Syndicate DAOs, meaning that staking Trillium in Union DAOs increases the DTAP available on the planet, benefiting both structures simultaneously. The announcement reassures that Syndicate-held tokens remain untouched following this new system’s introduction. For a guide on becoming a Union DAO custodian and participating in Union DAO elections, please refer to the linked announcement.
The responses to this experiment will be closely watched within the Alien Worlds ecosystem. On September 27th at 3 PM UTC, a detailed discussion on the new Union DAOs will take place in an X space featuring Dacoco’s CPO Brendan Sullivan, CTO Dallas Johnson, and CMO Kevin Rose, where they will answer queries regarding the system’s functionality.
An Overview of Alien Worlds DAOs
Historically, the decentralized governance of Alien Worlds has revolved around Planet Syndicates, which have orchestrated community events, developed mini-games, and actively participated in executing various proposals. There are six Syndicates, one representing each planet, with five Councilors elected as custodians to lead and manage each guild. These DAOs leverage blockchain technology for transparent operations, ensuring all transactions remain on-chain to establish trust and security.
Utilizing the Antelope protocol on the WAX blockchain, the DAOs enable on-chain governance through smart contracts, eliminating network congestion while ensuring a secure voting system free of centralized risks. Currently, over 100 million $TLM tokens are under Syndicate management, which have been allocated to support numerous community initiatives. As shown in the latest Syndicate Underground issue, these funds have facilitated various exciting projects, including the allocation of 90k $TLM to develop a new web3 game titled Planetary Defense, where NFT owners can deploy their assets in offensive and defensive conflicts.
The innovative concept of Tokenized Lore has also been established to transform the metaverse into a transmedia franchise. This allows the community to contribute and vote for new stories building upon the lore created by the acclaimed sci-fi author Kevin J. Anderson, renowned for his work on the Dune prequels and Star Wars spin-offs.
The path ahead for Alien Worlds appears to be fully in the hands of its community. Developer Dacoco remains committed to enhancing decentralized governance with innovative features, ensuring the metaverse evolves in alignment with community aspirations and thrives in a direction that reflects players’ collective desires.
