Overview: Building an on-chain contribution based community to incentivize participation in open-source cannabis research. Why Cannabis Genome DAO?We believe all cannabis is medicine and therefore the genetic data useful for breeding and development of new therapeutic applications should be incentivized to be available for public use. What Are We Doing?We’re building a community organized around a regenerative crypto-economic system designed to align incentives between public and private interests related to scientific cannabis research. Our plan to do this is by using a combination of well-known tools to track and reward contributions of individuals toward collectively agreed-upon goals. Our first products will be a community owned open-source data marketplace, open-access publishing server and decentralized seed bank. How Are We Accomplishing This?Platforms like SourceCred, Coordinape and DeWork can allow us to track the efforts of our community members from the very beginning; then, provide retroactive remuneration after work is completed and people have formed social trust networks that lead to fair allocation and recognition. Our partner laboratory, Delta Leaf, has an existing community of thousands of data generating cannabis cultivators who have been asking for a way to publish their data without compromising self-sovereignty.&nbsp; By establishing robust contribution tracking mechanisms for the DAO we can incentivize the creation of a community owned data marketplace, which will act as a core component in the regenerative crypto-economic platform we are working to deliver. The marketplace will subsidize the cost of fees for new users to upload and store data on-chain by charging a commission on subsequent transactions to sell or “rent” that same data. All revenue generated by commissions will go back to the DAO treasury and community to incentivize further adoption of the marketplace.&nbsp; We are currently working to establish a detailed technical roadmap for deploying our planned implementation of Ocean Market through hands-on experimentation using the Aurora testnet development environment. Additional funding will be required to continue this work and subsidize data upload/storage fees during the early stages of the marketplace. Eventually, commissions on marketplace transactions paid to the DAO treasury will regenerate and support financial reserves for ongoing maintenance of the platform and community growth. The long term goals of this project are currently identified as: <ul><li>Technical integration roadmap and timeline for deploying Ocean Protocol on Near</li><li>Outline of onboarding experience for genetic and genomic data types</li><li>Engage our community through educational content about Ocean Protocol and how we plan to implement it.</li><li>Deploy a fork of Ocean Market on the NEAR Aurora EVM</li><li>Deploy Ocean smart contracts on the NEAR Aurora EVM</li><li>Get $OCEAN listed on the Trisolaris DEX and Aurora website</li><li>Use Ocean Protocol to build a data marketplace for Cannabis Genome DAO (CGD)</li><li>Integrate with DAO tooling to enable community governance of key marketplace parameters such as commission rates</li><li>Merge the Ocean Market front-end with an NFT marketplace-like mobile app for CGD (e.g. Mintbase and Alga Wallet)</li></ul> Overall Project Roadmap Complete<ul><li>Launch Discord server: <a href="https://discord.gg/6Y6EMaQJAQ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://discord.gg/6Y6EMaQJAQ</a> 10/8/21</li><li>Launch website and email list <a href="https://cannabisgeno.me" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://cannabisgeno.me</a> October 2021</li><li>SputnikDAO launch on NEAR: October 2021</li><li>Near Foundation grant award: November 2021</li><li>AstroDAO frontend: November 2021</li><li>Documentation on <a href="https://www.notion.so/Cannabis-Genome-DAO-91166d7f6b554836914531b7cddca661" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Notion</a> and <a href="http://github.com/cannabisgenomedao" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Github</a>: December 2021</li><li>Membership app and Coordinape circle launch: January 2022</li><li>Ocean Market implementation on local server: February 2022</li><li>Present/Interviews at EthDenver: February 2022</li><li>Automated Contribution/Reputation scoring system: SourceCred March 2022</li><li>Self-hosted Discourse forum: March 2022</li><li><a href="https://app.dework.xyz/o/cannabis-gen-6wWstePfiJ8TGP3P1aRdUW" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bounty board</a> on DeWork: March 2022</li></ul> In Progress<ul><li>Publish formal whitepaper</li><li>Deploy smart contracts on NEAR testnet</li><li>Role-based governance weighting system (mechanism TBD but could include conviction/quadratic/role-boost)</li></ul>Reserve pool (to bootstrap marketplace)<ul><li>AstroDAO custom contract calls</li></ul>Publish blog article report on Ocean Protocol technical implementation plan Upcoming<ul><li>Deploy Ocean Market, smart contracts and middleware on the NEAR Aurora EVM (testnet)</li><li>Deploy appchain on Octopus Network (testnet)</li><li>Full mainnet launch (Near, Ocean, Arweave, Octopus, mobile front-end)</li><li>Merge the Ocean Market front-end with an NFT marketplace-like mobile app</li><li>Subgraph for Astro DAO</li><li>Decentralized identity solutions (Ontology Network, BrightID, Magic)</li></ul>
