Name of DAO
Harmony Nation DAO
Introduction
Atlantis World is building the Web3 social metaverse. We’re connecting social with Web3 (NFTs, DeFi + DAOs) and gaming inside of a lightweight virtual world that’s accessible to everybody.
We believe that existing metaverses set a high-cost barrier to entry and a hardware standard that doesn’t match up with global readiness due to a focus on 3d/immersive experience. We’re building Atlantis as a lightweight, 2d pixel metaverse that will run on any device in the web browser, from anywhere in the world!
We’re curating a fully fledged crypto economy of the metaverse starting with game experiences that plug into Web3 applications. You can even visit digital banks and unlock billions of dollars in liquidity for anything from savings accounts to borrowing, or freely exchange money and trade anything from financial instruments to NFT wearables and other digital goods / collectibles such as land.
We’ll build token gated cities for the top communities in Web3, starting with the founding partners of the Atlantis World ecosystem… Here, communities will be able to host virtual events powered by spatial video/audio calling, as well as NFT treasure hunts, voting in DAOs and using other Web3 applications. We’re working hard to enable customizability features as well as building SDKs so that leading creators and developers can improve Atlantis World as a global collective. We’re building the user owned metaverse, thus enabling progressive community ownership & participation as soon as possible is critical for us.
We’re also moving toward a planet positive future in collaboration with our users and community… which is why we’re planting a biodiverse, carbon capturing virtual forest inside of Atlantis.
Learn2Earn Quests
Inside of Atlantis, we integrate Web3 apps in a novel way whereby DAO clubhouses (complete with existing frameworks, tooling + voting mechanics), digital banks (DeFi protocols), DEXs and NFT marketplaces exist inside of metaverse in a gamified way. Soon, we’ll also launch SDKs, so that any developer can build their protocol or app into Atlantis World, as well as customizability features for creators.
We’ll leverage these experiences to build efficient, interactive and incentivized onboarding pipelines. In turn, growing the Harmony ecosystem together with our other partners from across Web3, enabling network effects for all parties involved.
Atlantis World core users, as well as the users of other chains / ecosystems, DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, DAOs and communities that we’ve onboarded, will be encouraged to explore the Harmony Nation inside of Atlantis World and begin interacting with ecosystem apps.
We foresee that our novel Learn2Earn MMORPG-style learning quests will become a core onboarding framework for Web3, since we’re expanding on the proof of concept layer of products like Rabbithole. Users will have the opportunity to earn tokens for interacting with Web3 apps inside of Atlantis World. In the case of Harmony Nation, users would for example be incentivized to visit a money exchange building and swap assets using Curve DEX or another ecosystem app in a totally gamified way, and be guided through that learning process by an in-game NPC.
Harmony Nation DAO
In order to enable effective, open collaboration between Atlantis World and Harmony core contributors and community; we’d love to summon a DAO to build the Harmony Nation… in Harmony! Also, the majority of Harmony Nation land/game assets will be owned by the DAO, with the DAO co-ordinating core development improvements and decision making over a long term.
We’ll engage the community every step of the way in what we’re building, encouraging active and value-add community members to join the DAO, especially developers and creators. Beyond that, we’ll regularly share progress with the wider community from the beginning… inviting them to share feedback, make suggestions and interact with the product.
Proposal overview
We’ll create an island nation for the Harmony ecosystem inside of Atlantis World. All land parcels / game assets will be tokenized natively on Harmony and all Web3 apps that populate the island or NATION will be native to the Harmony ecosystem.
We’ll work in collaboration with the Harmony community, actually launching a DAO, to grow and cultivate ONE home for Harmony token-holders, DAOs and ecosystem apps.
Beyond that, we see Harmony as founding partners on our mission to:
- Democratize metaverse, being lightweight first, enabling anybody from anywhere in the world to access in a web browser, on any device.
- Onboard the next 1B users into Web3 by creating a gamified onboarding framework inside of metaverse.
Aka… 
Connect Web3 with social, gaming and education in ONE lightweight virtual world that’s accessible to everybody and owned by the community.
Proposal ask
We’ve intentionally decided not to provide any requested amount, as we’d greatly appreciate first hearing the feedback from the Harmony community & core contributors - and only then, coming up with the right number altogether. It’s also worth noting that 100% of the funds raised will be governed entirely by the DAO and the DAO treasury, and will enable long term development and maintenance of Harmony Nation.
We foresee the following cost brackets, though you’ll ultimately finalise and govern budget decisions as a member of Harmony Nation DAO:
- Fairly paying developers, designers and creators (ie. for designing, building and improving Harmony Nation inside of Atlantis World)
- Learn2Earn incentives to accelerate adoption of the Harmony ecosystem.
- Long term development improvements and maintenance of Harmony Nation, such as adding new ecosystem apps and upgrading the space.
- Subsidising network infrastructure and server costs, though we plan to decentralize that in the long term, once we’ll develop the optimal solution.
- Subsidise relevant core Atlantis World upgrades, such as adding new social features that will in turn improve the Harmony Nation experience.
- Marketing to increase awareness and accelerate adoption of Harmony Nation.
- Other suggestions from contributors and community.
Metrics for success
Our current ecosystem partners have social media communities of 2M+ users that will be invited to beta test Atlantis and become our early adopters. Joint marketing is a core part of our GTM and we’re onboarding new partners at an unprecedented rate.
We also plan to enable network effects for all parties involved, by incentivising and encouraging different partner communities to try each other’s products inside of Atlantis. As well as this, we’ll also target non crypto natives with interactive learning for DeFi and other Web3 building blocks like DAOs, blockchain games and blockchain wallets, even creating core Web3 onboarding and wallet creation experience.
As of today (4th of Nov ‘21), we have 4.5k+ early access sign ups and super active 4.1k+ Discord users, with 700+ mobilising to make a contribution to our GR11 grant (when we had 1.4k community members) and 1000+ being active demo users.
Some key success factors for Harmony Nation DAO (inside of Atlantis World) that we see moving forwards are as follows:
- Harmony ecosystem growth (focusing on WoW, MoM, engagement, retention).
- Number of Harmony ecosystem Web3 apps integrated.
- Network effects between Harmony, other chains and the wider Atlantis ecosystem.
- Onboarding new users through Learn2Earn quests and other initiatives.
- Community engagement (virtual events, community gatherings, gamified DAO voting/governance, NFT treasury hunts, etc).
