So, even though the more charitable aspect of blockchains and crypto has been fading the past year, there are still various attempts out there that keep up the perseverance.

One of those is a project started by my mentor Juan Blanco, who has always been interested in the potential benevolence of Ethereum. The name of his project is Homeless DAO, and it aims to embody a DAO with multiple goals in mind. One, it would aim to create a supply of tokens affiliated with charities and redeemed by enterprise, earned through charitable donations and/or services. Two, it would act as a blockchain registry for charities, offering them a number of services that could bolster their presence on Ethereum (creating an ENS domain, helping them receive and manage NFTs for raising money through auctions, etc.). Three, the DAO’s tokens could be distributed through an online voting mechanism, granted to projects that embody the charitable spirit of the DAO.

Since it’s only in the brainstorming phase, we’re still looking for any help or advice. If you’re interested in helping out at all, stop by the Github repo and check it out!
