Governance, Proof of Existence, Web3 Consulting

Nefarious developers and limitless whales should not have unfair sway in your token sales, NFT mints, airdrops, or governance votes. We Can Fix This!

ABOUT GDAO

Eliminate Value Extraction From Your Web3 Existence.

Web3 is intended to be decentralized, open, trustless, fluid, permissionless, and secure. Among various attack vectors, Sybil Attacks present the most significant, persistent detriment against these virtues. The inability to distinguish actors as unique individuals prevents many innovations driving more equitable web3 standards from achieving adoption.
At Governor DAO, our mission is simple; we are the stewards of Sybil Resistance, striving to enable a universal solution to unlock web3’s next frontier. Our passion for driving Proof of Existence is making Web3 a genuinely decentralized and fair ecosystem where users and projects can engage in fair and open interactions that retain and protect the privacy and security of all entities involved.

Democratic DAO Governance

Current DAO models minimize the impact individuals as contributors can make in governance. GDAO helps to replace whale and VC-centric unlimited token weight voting with democratic and capped-per-person voting modules.

FAQ

Frequency Asked Questions

Governor DAO is a collective built around the vision of helping projects and individuals do decentralization better. We do this through various products and services that help tokenized projects, NFTs, and DAOs launch and operate according to safer, more transparent, and better-decentralized standards.

Governor DAO was first conceived in October 2020. The initial mechanics and smart contracts were released over the course of Q4 2020.

Governor DAO was launched as 100% community owned. Our token, GDAO, was airdropped to community members. Zero tokens were sold, and no external funding was received.

There are around 12 individuals working on Governor DAO in various capacity. This includes a primary team of 6 and roughly 6 more part-time contributors.

Yes: $GDAO.

$GDAO represents ownership of the project: its IP, products, and services. Through governance, the token manages the treasury and benefits from revenue sharing via buybacks as revenue is generated. 

We offer a mix of engineering, consulting, and proprietary buildouts. Clients can utilize Governor DAO to build and deploy smart contracts and frontends, design their tokenomics and facilitate governance, or engage in the products we’ve created.

 

Most prominently, we created Proof of Existence, a 100% privacy-preserving approach to Sybil resistance. Our other products are LGE, an innovative and equitable token launch model. NFT launchpad is a safe and secure way to launch NFT projects. Stipend a whale-proof UBI application.

Sybil resistance is protection against bad actors who have taken on numerous accounts or identities to extract value. In layman’s terms: Sybil resistance prevents someone from getting an unfair advantage by pretending to be many people at once.

Sybil attacks are rampant throughout the crypto space. They manipulate airdrops, botting NFT launches, token sales, play-to-earn games, strong-arming protocol governance, and more.

 

We estimate that Sybil attacks have extracted more than 1 billion dollars from the crypto space in 2022 alone. 

We utilize real-world biometrics technology to authenticate the users behind wallets. People can only show once, no matter how many wallets they attempt to sign up with, as their biometric features cannot be manipulated.

Biometrics are widely used in the real world today: from airports to self-checkout to your personal devices. Any time you log in to your phone using Face ID or speak a command into your automobile, you engage with biometrics technology. 

The technology we use is precisely the same as the technology used to secure high-stakes situations like banking account access. Our solution is the equivalent of securing your storage closet with a military-grade vault door.

Biometrics information is extremely sensitive and should not be stored in any capacity where it could one day be accessed by a bad actor. Our solution uses a “hash-and-discard” method of utilizing biometrics: user inputs are cryptographically hashed, and only that resulting hash is stored. Hashes are compared: unique hashes mean unique sign-ups. This is similar to public and private keys in crypto: we keep only the resulting public key, which has no way of decompiling to the sensitive “private key” information.

The most common approach to Sybil resistance in the crypto space is KYC: users must upload official government documentation to be accepted into the system. This implementation is non-ideal for many reasons, primarily uploading and sharing your most sensitive documents with unknown counterparties.

Other projects have attempted Sybil resistance using social metrics, such as social media activity or peer-to-peer reputation systems. It is unclear if social scoring is resilient to Sybil attacks.
