Charlie: thoughtful onboarding experience...look to Kernel for inspiration...help Discord experience capture some of the magic of these IRL spaces by creating co-learning space online that captures the pillars of the world that we’re trying to create...allowing magic to emerge and for people to teach each otheras you grow within the DAO you unlock new things.. i.e “undergrad/freshman” all the way up to specialized grad school-esque experienceremaining open in the philosophical offerings...not just teaching one school of thoughtKirsten: in-built education, capacity building, NFTs as educational process themselves...doing through the NFTspartnership with Gaia University?Marcus: bring down the nation state. Hi there, CIA. balance between friction of joining a community (i.e flying to Guatemala)...create more frictionless ways for people to onboard thoughtfullyCaroline: tier system is inclusive by design & protects itself from bad actorsbad actors unlikely to genuinely participate in community...go through educational journeys...etcAdora: aligned with Charlie/Kirsten on educational experience and breadth of learning/relationships that we can facilitateMartin: LinkedIn-esque system...everyone vouches for each other’s competencies in a decentralized way...building a CV of sorts with real-life, regenerative activities...this becomes more compelling than purely online reputation
Completing more of these learning journeys might grant certain perks such as...Creating new governance proposalsrequiring new members to complete X number of learning journeys before they are allowed to create proposals means they’re more likely to be aligned with our principlesMinting new NFTsWe may have 2,500 genesis NFTs, but we may also have first-come-first-serve collections only mintable by folks who have reached certain levels within the DAO (i.e low supply collection of 1/1 art or photography mintable only by folks who have completed ALL learning journeys)

CohereDAO Genesis NFTs:
“DAO is not only a sense-making process and governance, but it’s a community” -Marcus
Utility:
How will we drive value?
Marketing Strategy:
Pricing:
This is how we will likely structure genesis NFT pricing:
Total supply: 1,000-3,000 (2,500 as sweet spot)
Distribution: Greenlist has 1-2 week mint period before public mint
Pricing: 0.08-0.25 ETH per NFT
Total revenue: ~400 ETH (assuming 2,500 supply at 0.16 ETH mint price)
note: further collections will be released later building upon genesis NFTs with same or similar utility
Alternate structure (this is likely NOT how we will price the genesis NFT collection, but could be a model for future collections)
Total supply: 25,000
Distribution: Waves (i.e 5 waves of 5,000)
Tiers:
Total revenue: 3235 ETH = $6.5M (assuming $2000 ETH)
to-do: determine logistics of tiered minting if we decide to go that route
to-do: decide if greenlist will receive a discount, and if so, how much?
Minting Mechanisms:
Greenlist:
Certain individuals will be granted early minting access due to prior engagement/relation to Cohere...we may even consider gifting NFTs or providing free mint opportunities to certain folks...greenlist members might include:
Metadata & Traits:
Initial ideas:
More visual traits will flow naturally as the following to-dos are completed:
Inspiration:
What part of the membership experience is most exciting to each of us individually?

Ideation:
How might we: Integrate DAO principles into NFT design such that every governance decision is ultimately aligned with DAO principles/ethos
NFTs act as governance token and entrance point to the CohereDAO. How might we actually build these principles into the core/metadata of the NFTS themselves?
Tarot cart example: when pulling a card you have no way of knowing what you’re going to get. You derive meaning from the cards that you pull. This is reminiscent of NFT minting.
When a Cohere NFT is minted it could contain metadata traits that align it with the DAO’s principles. This acts as an invitation for all DAO members to connect and engage with one of our principles from the time they join.
We can build an educational component around this. DAO members verify ownership of their membership NFT using a tool like . Based on the metadata of their NFT, they are assigned certain roles. If we use the 13 Principles here an example role might be “Listening” or “Listener”. We can draw on existing educational materials and create new ones as needed to create a learning journey around each of our core principles. If a DAO member is verified as holding an NFT with the “Listener” trait, they are automatically granted access to the corresponding materials. Completion of these materials (tracked with a tool like Mochi!) allows them to collect a POAP and potentially level up their influence within the DAO.
Build reputation / role by completing additional educational journeys (i.e all DAO members can vote on proposals, but only once you’ve completed 5+ of these journeys can you create proposals)
Misc. thoughts:
Badges - some should give you nice perks, but not necessarily move you across the DAO
