Introducing DedeukwuShryne DAO: Promoting African Creativity and Heritage Through Web3 Technology

A DAO is a decentralized autonomous organization that functions as a community in which every member has an equal voice in voting and making decisions.

DedeukwuShryne is a multi-DAO community dedicated to using Web3 technology to bridge the gap between creativity and heritage. Our mission entails curating African creatives, collections, metaverses, and real-life events such as fashion exhibitions. Through our efforts, we aim to educate these creatives on their experiences using Web3 tools and educational strategy such as shryne vodcasts, game hub, live band and annual residency program of seven creators from the seven tribes of Africa.

Our Mission

The mission of DedeukwuShryne is to curate African creative collections, metaverses and real-life events, including fashion exhibitions. By using Web3 tools in education through vodcasts and annual residency of seven creators from the seven tribes of Africa, we hope to inform these creatives about their experiences using the blockchain.

Our Goal

Our ultimate goal is to create Africa’s most significant curator hub, dedicated to educating new members via membership NFT cards and tours, enabling collectors to own a share of the contents and projects and earn royalties as they stream. We are confident that we can achieve this through partnerships and synergies with like-minded brands while also transforming Dedeukwu into a live band musician for the phygital era of Web3.

The DAO Membership Card

The Dedeukwushryne DAO Membership Card provides numerous benefits to its holders. Firstly, it enables decision-making participation in the DAO. The card also grants unlimited access to the Gamestate stadium, one month access to the Shryne Hub Studio, and automatic membership to the Astro DAO. Holders are also eligible for event project grants to promote culture during live events and receive a 30% discount on gear rental for a week. Additionally, holders can build as curators and earn within the DAO. The membership also incentivizes engagement and voting, as members receive points based on their level of participation. By utilizing web3 technology, the Dedeukwushryne DAO is bridging the gap between creativity and heritage, and the membership card serves as an excellent tool for members to benefit from this innovative platform.

Our Community IRL hub

To access activities, we are working to establish a tier system with the community where Tier 1-3 unlocks a 30-10% discount for collectors or members purchasing our products, using the hub games and facilities, event tickets on a monthly basis. Currently, we have an off-chain community that aims to tokenize the hub, enabling collectors and builders to have access to equipment and games. Our community hub project  includes a live band, snooker, a rooftop bar and barbecue grill spot, and an open bar where we will also have a table tennis game, all tokenized because we have the permanent space for such and the vision is clear.

Voting Mechanisms

Our DAO voting mechanism is built on Astro DAO ( Dedeukwushryne DAO ) built on NEAR (  NEAR Blockchain ) our primary blockchain. To ensure effective voting mechanisms for transparency and decentralization, we are focused on building off-chain as we add members who resonate with our vision by joining the DAO Telegram group ( Telegram group  ). We will guide them to create a wallet with security tips then add them to Astro DAO as members, guaranteeing them the right to vote using the activated ( e.g dedeukwu.near ) NEAR wallet.
