DAO Simulator on Humanodecon 2024

Humanode Core -

Ever wondered what it’s like to run a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) in a one person - one vote environment? How about simulating it? And to do that we propose the DAO Simulator Game, where you step into the role of a governoooor, navigating the highs, lows, and surprises that come with decentralized management of a blockchain-based project.

We will be playing the DAO Simulator on Humanodecon 2024: every visitor will take part in managing a democratic DAO!

Game Overview: In the DAO Simulator, we’ll be in charge of a crypto project, balancing a variety of metrics that impact the organization’s success. From maintaining a healthy treasury and managing the burn rate to engaging your community and building hype, each decision you make impacts the project’s future. Here’s what you’ll track:

  • Treasury (Dollars and Tokens): Manage your project’s funds, with the option to spend in dollars or tokens on key proposals.
  • Burn Rate: Your project’s monthly expenses, deducted directly from the dollar treasury.
  • Token Price: The value of your token, influenced by market conditions and internal decisions.
  • Development Score: Reflects progress; high scores enable positive releases, while low scores lead to setbacks.
  • Community Score: Measures engagement; loyal users provide resilience, but speculative interest can lead to volatility.
  • Hype Score: Influences community and token price; hype brings growth, but can inflate expectations if not managed.

Game Mechanics: Each week, you’ll face a set of random events and proposals. Some events, like partnerships, regulatory changes, or technical challenges, are out of your control. But you’ll also get to choose how to respond to proposals that shape the project, such as buybacks, development boosts, marketing stunts, and community governance votes.

Each choice has trade-offs. For example:

  • Token Buybacks boost price and confidence but drain the dollar treasury.
  • Development Sprints increase progress but raise the burn rate.
  • Community Redistribution builds loyalty but dilutes token value.

Bonus Mechanic: High Development Score Unlocks Features A high Development Score unlocks releases and features that boost revenue or improve project stability—these only come with steady progress and careful planning.

Weekly Turns, Randomized Events: Every turn represents one week in the DAO’s journey. Events roll with varying outcomes, with a “1 out of 6” bringing challenges like security threats or treasury drains, while a “6 out of 6” unlocks favorable scenarios, like altseason boosts or major partnerships.

Why Play the DAO Simulator? This simulator isn’t just a game; it’s an educational experience in the unique challenges and strategies of managing a one person - one vote DAO. Whether you’re new to DAOs or an experienced crypto enthusiast, it lets you explore the delicate balance of treasury management, community trust, token economics, and decentralized decision-making—all from the driver’s seat of your own project.

Will we get the DAO to grow big or get rekt? Join us on Humanodecon in December, make your mark, and see if you can lead your DAO to greatness!
