  DAO COORDINATION – Beautiful Exchange DAO

  Posted by Jordan on June 3, 2025 at 12:49 am

  1. Self-Organization Model
  Our coordination system combines:

  • Fractal Circles: 8 core circles with defined domains (Stewardship, Welcome, Marketplace, etc.)

  • Emergent Pods: Time-bound task forces forming around specific initiatives

  • Hybrid Coordination: Role-based accountability within circles + task-based coordination across circles

  We use a three-layer structure:

  1. Anchor Roles (fixed, elected positions like Vision Keeper)

  2. Flow Roles (rotating 3-month positions like Cross-Circle Liaisons)

  3. Task Sparks (self-assigned micro-roles for specific initiatives)

  2. Role Accountability System

  3. Contributor Pathway

  A[Discover DAO] –> B(Complete Welcome Quest)
  B –> C{Choose Path}
  C –> D[Observer Mode]
  C –> E[Contributor Track]
  D –> F(3-week learning journey)
  E –> G(Mentorship Pairing)
  G –> H(Trial Project)
  H –> I{Performance Review}
  I –> J[Core Contributor]
  I –> K[Skill Development Plan]

  Onboarding Requirements:

  • Complete 7 regenerative principle modules**

  How the Modules Will Be Made Available:

  • Learning Center Platform: The modules will be hosted in the DAO’s Learning Center as interactive courses, video lessons, and resource guides. Contributors can access these modules at their own pace.
  • Live Workshops & Onboarding Calls: Regular live onboarding calls and workshops will be scheduled for new members to discuss module content, ask questions, and connect with experienced contributors

  How Completion Will Be Tracked:

  • On-Chain Badges or Reputation Tokens: Upon completing each module, contributors will receive a non-transferable on-chain badge or reputation token, serving as verifiable proof of learning and progress
  • Peer Mentorship: Newcomers will be paired with mentors who have completed the modules, providing personalized guidance and support throughout the onboarding journey.
  • Knowledge Base & Documentation: All module materials, FAQs, and supplementary resources will be documented and made accessible in a centralized onboarding hub (e.g., Notion, Discord, or Holochain DHT).
  • Learning Progress Dashboard: A dashboard within the Learning Center will display each member’s module completion status, accessible to both the contributor and onboarding facilitators.
  • Automated Quizzes & Reflections: Each module ends with a short quiz or reflective prompt. Successful completion automatically updates the contributor’s progress and unlocks the next module.
  • Mentor Verification: For modules with live or discussion-based components, mentors or facilitators can confirm completion and provide feedback directly in the system.
  • Onboarding Coordinator Oversight: Circle coordinators or onboarding facilitators will review progress weekly and provide reminders or support to contributors who fall behind.
