DuckDAO is a decentralized incubator that helps promising projects achieve their full potential by leveraging the investment power and buzz making potential of our community.
We aim to democratize access to investment opportunities that were previously available only to well-heeled investors and venture funds, opening up the closed ecosystem of early-stage crypto project investments to everybody.
DuckDAO looks to break the cycle of early-stage investments in high-potential cryptocurrency projects, which typically see large traditional VCs buy out stacks of tokens in strategic, seed, and private sale investment rounds at far lower prices than retail investors got during the public sale. These VCs would then dump their holdings on retail investors to secure an easy profit, while simultaneously damaging sentiment surrounding the project.
Instead, we believe in cultivating long-term partnerships with the projects we support, helping to establish healthy, natural growth that builds lasting success.
Our involvement with projects can be classified into three distinct tiers:
🐥 Tier 1 (Incubation Level): We work with projects from their very beginnings up until the points they are listed on an exchange — plus more in aftercare. Incubated projects benefit from a range of marketing, advisory, and listing services to help catapult the project to success.
🐥 Tier 2 (Strategic Contribution Level): We assist projects with social media strategy, including Twitter and Telegram.
🐥 Tier 3 (General Contribution Level): DuckDAO manages OTC sales and community requests — there is no direct involvement with the project.
Our community, which are lovingly nicknamed “Ducks,” are a crucial part of this process, since they help both finance and support the growth of our partner projects.
As part of our collaboration, projects provide DuckDAO users with an allocation of tokens which we distribute to those who have joined our token-permissioned Telegram communities.
This is achieved through our token, the DuckDaoDime (DDIM), which can be leveraged to access our community tiers — each of which provides increasing benefits for our community. In order to access each membership tier, Ducks need to hold at least a fixed minimum number of DDIM tokens in their MetaMask wallet (as determined by the Collab.land bot). Our current token-permissioned membership groups are:
🐥 The Duck Fightclub: 10 DDIM
🐥 Beach Club: 200 DDIM
🐥 Gentlemen’s Club (VIP): 2,500 DDIM
🐥 Diamond Club (VVIP): 10,000 DDIM
🐥 Duck Allstars Club: Top 10 DDIM holder
DDIM can be purchased on Uniswap or earned by participating in community events, such as interactive interviews (AMAs) with our projects. Besides our exclusive membership communities, DuckDAO also operates a lobby for general discussions. Users will be automatically removed from a group if their DDIM balance falls below the minimum threshold.
