Shots Fired #53

it's the community, always has been

Hope your hot NFT Summer has been fruitful 🍍, looking forward to the bounties of Fall when perhaps DAOs or DeFi will make a resurgence while Delta stays down, hopefully 📉.

It’s been awhile but the recent meetings in-person have been phenomenal, and MCON(.fun) is set to be the biggest DAO cryptopalooza in 2021 - hope to see many familiar faces and look forward to meeting new friends. Because really, it’s always been about the community, and the frens (SQUADS) vibin’ on this journey…

MCON is the place. ⛰️

Call the banners. 🎏

• 🏡 DAOHaus - Rage shippin’ and always great features on the horizon. Have you forked with a Vault (Minion) lately? Some pretty NIFTY things happening, War Camp blasting, and the media machine grinding away. 🗿

  There’s also a POOL HAUS, catch up on all you missed and learn more about this rad experiment: https://medium.com/daohaus-club/poolhaus-and-decentralised-liquidity-provision-ced87ffe656

IN DEPTH: DAOs are at a similar stage to where DeFi was in 2019: full of potential, brimming with talent, and ripe to disrupt the traditional world. (via @_NathanVDH) https://t.co/jf2KNMgHRU

• The latest DAOhaus newsletter by Bau along with one from July, revisit the summer Haus Party with Eric from Rarible and Juan and Wouter from MakerDAO or the respective notes from JonathanP (Rarible notes, MakerDAO notes).

  🎉 Haus Parties have been a ton of fun and informative, a nice consistent live podcast Thursday from Felipe’s garden - look forward to the official kickoff for Season 3!

• Season 2 of Haus Party closed down with Manu from DoinGud, no vid link but JonathanP notes here.

• You ever walk into a bar, strike up a conversation with a random stranger, and find out they also work for a DAO? woww

  DAOhaus 🏰 @nowdaoit

  What are the odds of walking into a random bar and meeting a complete stranger that also works for a DAO? While in the future this won't be so uncommon, right now, that's pretty damn cool. @airswap @MikkellerBeer @TheMetaFactory @coordinape

  

"We believe strongly in what communities can achieve when they are centered around what humans can do with them rather than the protocol that they are serving or the value of the token they are serving"

• While NFTs are going HAM rn, the DAO conversation still matters and DAOhaus has engaged YAP DAO to help with the PR and comms, check out Spengraph’s appearances:

Townhall summer holiday tldr 🌶️

Chillin’ with Chili 🌶️

In the past few weeks we've been hard at work for Chili & rChili. We started off by launching our staking site (chilikitchen.com) and we've started to add a few more recipes (staking contracts) onto our site to incentivize anyone who's putting up liquidity for rChili. We have some fun things planned for MCon X rChili so make sure you're in the LP pool (https://app.sushi.com/swap#/add/0x0d500b1d8e8ef31e21c99d1db9a6444d3adf1270/0x48e1eec032171f871890c86308147032bb246508) and get ready to see your rChili start to sizzle. More to come soon. Feel free to chat with us in #spicy_chat in the MetaCartel Discord!

Our newest on chain member, community manager for Chilli, DamagedGoods.

Just the beginning of expanding the community 🎆

“journey toward reducing coordination cost, help formalize a concept of token weighted registry”

instead of grant giving, we can give a second reward via rChili // Chili is a bigger ring on the MC ecosystem.
