spatialDAO

SpatialDAO is a platform that enables organizations to create and monetize their own dataDAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) using the Filecoin Ethereum Virtual Machine (FEVM). The platform operates on a bounty philosophy, where each organization has a set of proposers, voters, and administrators. Administrators can add or remove proposers, proposers can create proposals for data storage, and voters can vote on the importance of the data. If a proposal is accepted, proposers can create bounties to fund the storage of that data. Bounties can only be created for successfully voted files, and they keep information about the bounty reward and the number of bounties the organization will offer for that file. Deal clients in the Filecoin ecosystem can search for bounties, create storage deals for the files that have bounties, and claim bounties once the dataDAO contract verifies that the storage deal has been made on the network. The SpatialDAO offers a social layer that utilizes Orbis.club that is operating on the Ceramic network to allow organizations to explore proposals and bounties, as well as providing a communication layer for its members.

Nick handled the idea about the dataDAO and the Factory contract after a lot of brainstorming sessions with Suhel but also by checking the filecoin virtual machine progress from Zondax and the lotusWEB3 gitHub repo about what we can achieve with the smart contract and how to interact with the filecoin virtual machine we concluded to our final desition. Suhel was the primary web dev that created the basic parts of the application, and we concluded to create a platform that would also include a social layer for each DAO member to communicate with others and exchange ideas is one platform. To create the social layer, we used the ceramic network that is based on the IPFS libp2p stack by leveraging Orbis.club. This project uses the filecoin hyperspace testnet on top of the @FEVM . Filecoin network utilities let us create a seamless dataDAOFactory for every organization to host their dataDAOs. We used @Spheron to deploy the application frontend on the IPFS network.
