The Asia art industry is back in business! According to Sotheby, the world’s largest, most trusted, and most dynamic marketplace for art and luxury, the art market is recovering to pre-pandemic levels. By accounting for nearly 36% of global turnover over the previous two years, Asia has eclipsed North America and Europe to become the world’s largest art market, by auction sales (Movius, 2022). However, what happens with newborn or emerging artists from non-traditional sectors who have not had access to industry networks or visibility spots? Easy-peasy, they have Clubs.

Given Dev Protocol’s mission to empower creators with web3 tools, Clubs is currently holding a “Clubs Starter Grant” program to support creators during the pre-registration period. This initiative is designed to assist first-time web3 creators with onboarding. Eligible applicants who register during the pre-registration period will have their first $MATIC gas bill covered.

Through the “Clubs Starter Grant” program, we are pleased to announce the participation of Taito Otani, a musician and multimedia artist who launched an initiative beyond the existing fan clubs.

A new way of creating artwork that transcends the relationship between fan and artist has emerged!

Dev Protocol and Clubs

Clubs is a plug-and-play DAO tool. It upgrades any community to web3 in just one minute and empowers creators with more sustainable funding support and superior community engagement tools.

Community Overview

TAITO OTANI DAO, a tentative name for the Club, will have the goal of supporting, participating in, and collaborating with the production of artwork. In that sense, Taito’s content will be more enjoyable than ever before as, with Clubs, his fans can not only have exclusive access to productions but also collaborate with Taito.

Everything will begin with the acquisition of a non-fungible token (NFT), a unique digital identifier that cannot be copied, substituted or subdivided, or recorded in a blockchain. Tokenholders will get as benefits of:

• Information about productions
• Exclusive invitation to Live streamings
• Max for Live device offerings
• Sound packs

and much more!

However, that is only one side of the story. Tokenholders can also help with some specific tasks requested by Taito. For example:

• Develop the global branding
• Build and execute marketing and social media strategies
• Look for new collaborations

The best part? DAO tokens will be distributed to collaborators based on their contributions, so, in Clubs, people will actually get paid to help their favorite artists.

Message from the artist

“I would like to start a DAO in the area of audiovisual art that explores the possibilities of sound and media and organize several projects within it to explore these possibilities with fans and collaborators. There is no greater joy than to see my work reach people who have never been reached before through the DAO.

As someone who loves making things, I would like to work on projects where I can share the process itself with others.

There are few examples of DAO in Japan, but I would like to start DAO as an artist and explore ways to create works and activities that have been difficult in the past.”

Taito Otani

About the artist

Born in 1995, Taito Otani is a musician, multimedia artist and director. He also holds a master’s degree in media science.

Some of Taito’s works land on sound design, installation, video, visual and interactive art, and soundtrack production. He started out in the development of entertainment content after working in the advertising sector. Using p5.js and processing, Taito has been experimenting with the fusion and expansion of music and graphics. The NINETEEN95 STUDIO, which he runs, offers interface creation for Max for Live.

His contribution to the Transactions of the Japan Society for Art Science and Technology and the Information Processing Society of Japan, “Live Interface for Free Speech for Audiovisual Performance,” demonstrates his involvement in academia.

Clubs Starter Grant, Audiovisual Artist “Taito Otani” Joins! was originally published in Dev Protocol  —  Accelerating Web3 with Clubs on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Collaboration to confront social issues in Web3 communities and DAOs.

Dev Protocol has entered into a partnership with Hikari Enterprise, Ltd. to provide the DAO tool “Clubs” to “Garbage Collector DAOs” to solve the marine litter problem by increasing the number of people involved in the process.

In response to the issue that the “garbage disposal process” is an area that is hidden from the general public and is difficult for people to see, HIKARI Enterprise, Ltd. has planned a “DAO where the general public and businesses work together on the marine debris disposal process. HIKARI Enterprise, Ltd. decided to join Clubs Partners based on the idea that “people who pick up trash, organizations that have permits and licenses to dispose of trash, and organizations that have the technology to dispose of trash” can create a foundation for contributing and supporting each other while leveraging their respective characteristics.

Dev Protocol and Clubs

As you may already know, Dev Protocol mission is to provide meaningful solutions for any person or organization looking for fundraising. The materialization of the stated mission is Clubs, a plug-and-play DAO tool. It upgrades any community to web3 in just one minute, and empowers creators with more sustainable funding support and superior community engagement tools.

Background of the Partnership

Club’s applications are only limited bt the imagination of creators. For example, Dev Protocol team entered into a partnership with HIKARI Enterprise, Ltd. to create, by using Clubs, the “Garbage collector DAO”, which solves the marine debris problem by increasing the population involved. Marine debris is any solid, man-made object that enters waterways either directly by littering or indirectly through storm drains, rivers, and streams.

With its headquarters in Bizen city, Okayama prefecture, HIKARI Enterprise, Ltd. is in the trash treatment business. However, its waste treatment process, which is only accessible from the management site, is not visible enough, preventing the public from socializing the problem, and taking part into actions to solve it.

According to Mr. Kawabuchi, a representative of HIKARI Enterprise, Ltd. , by creating a DAO, it will be possible to establish a foundation where people and organization with an environmental midset can contribute and support each other, while using Clubs’ unique characteristics to onboard, incentivise and manage partners. In that sense, general public and business operators can work together towards a common goal, the marine debris disposal process.

Token incentive mechanisms will reward individuals who think and act on behalf of the global environment and world waste issues. Garbage collectors DAO unite and encourage individuals with strong motivation to take actions against the marine debris to the next level. The DAO was founded based on a circular economy. That is why incentives will be given to DAO participants with the premise of “not treating garbage as garbage” following the 5Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Refuse and Renewable).

About HIKARI Enterprise, Ltd.

As a “waste contractor” established in Bizen city, Okayama prefecture, HIKARI enterprises ltd. has amassed 20 years of expertise and accomplishments in garbage collecting and disposal operations with the aim of “community-based services.” In order to modernize the sector and introduce cutting-edge technology to the waste business, the company has set “Turn trash into valuable stuff” as its objective.

Dev Protocol

HIKARI Enterprise Ltd. joins Clubs partner to build “Garbage collector DAO” was originally published in Dev Protocol  —  Accelerating Web3 with Clubs on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Here at Dev Protocol our mission has always been to offer meaningful solutions for any person or organization in need of fundraising. It’s with that spirit that our team has been working so hard behind the scenes on our forthcoming product — Clubs. With Clubs, creators and entrepreneurs can utilize advanced web3 tools to more deeply engage and incentivize their communities, while gaining needed access to an innovative and stable source of project funding.

To provide our Clubs solution to as many people and projects as possible, we believe in developing a seamless connection with the legacy fundraising ecosystem by connecting it to web3 and maintaining diligent engagement with regulators.

In parallel to our development team’s dedicated work to build advanced products, our leadership team has been highly active behind the scenes meeting with lawyers and regulators with the goal of being granted a ‘utility token’ status. We have strategically chosen to achieve compliance through the Swiss regulatory body FINMA (Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority), which we believe will open up a myriad of opportunities for Dev Protocol that would otherwise be unavailable.

With the regulatory uncertainty in the world around crypto projects, we believe being utility token certified not only solidifies our project as legitimate but opens up increased potential for future partnerships and ecosystem growth. Having this strategic regulatory compliance status allows our many current and upcoming partners, both large and small, to engage and build with Dev Protocol confidently knowing that both our technology and compliance strategy teams are aggressively looking ahead.

While we cannot comment currently on the status of our application to FINMA, we can say that ultimately some changes will need to be made to the protocol specifically when it comes to tokenomics. We have put a lot of thought into the changes and we believe that the benefits will vastly outweigh any negatives.

Going forward, the Dev Protocol mission remains! To achieve our very lofty targets, we believe that compliance from FINMA is the best way to reach our fullest potential. When the time is right, we will share the changes and update the community on our regulatory status. In the meantime, we continue to build and have very exciting new features and products rolling out, like Clubs! We thank you for your support and for following along on this very exciting journey thus far, we can’t wait to share some very major announcements with our amazing community and partners very soon!

Dev Protocol Seeks Strategic Utility Token Regulation from Swiss FINMA was originally published in Dev Protocol  —  Accelerating Web3 with Clubs on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

For a while now, behind the scenes we have been making many connections with organizations and companies who have shown interest in our Clubs product. Today is a special day because we have finally been able to reveal what the Temples DAO project at Kougenji will look like. The perk tiers that come with supporting Temples DAO each offer something unique and we believe will serve as an example to other prospective projects in the future. You can view the Temples DAO page by clicking here.

The most important part however, is showing how DAOs and other projects are able to earn sustainable donations through the Dev Protocol, while also offering benefits and community to supporters. Temples DAO is close to our heart as cultural and historical preservation is one of the main inspirations for starting this project. Our CEO Mayumi Hara talked to traditional artisans about the lack of funding for sites of cultural importance as well as the lack of new artisans with the ability to repair these sites, entering the field. The solution designed to tackle this problem and many others was offering sustainable funding through the use of Web3 and blockchain technology.

Throughout Japan and the world, funding for preservation of cultural sites of importance continues to be a struggle. We believe in the Dev Protocol and that ultimately it can be the solution for many of these struggling projects seeking funding. We’re not limiting ourselves to just cultural sites, but rather any organizations, projects, individuals, etc. that need funding. If others follow the example of Kougenji and embrace new technology to solve age old problems, we believe they can succeed here on our platform.

In the future we expect many others to use the blueprint shown today to create, tokenize and ultimately create a community of support to offer sustainable funding for their project. For supporters, we believe that the perks received for supporting through staking, will be a badge of honor to prove that you made a difference. We’re excited to show you more in the upcoming year and hope you are excited as we are at the potential we see for the Dev Protocol.

The Future of fundraising DAOs , with Clubs was originally published in Dev Protocol  —  Accelerating Web3 with Clubs on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.

Dev Protocol team will develop a no-code DAO tool and data oracles for creators, and accelerate business development based in Switzerland.

We’re excited to announce that we have completed the final close of pre-series round A at the end of August. The funds raised in this round was 250 Mil yen, and the cumulative amount of capital-raising reached approximately 310 Mil yen.

Fundraising

In this round, while gmjp served as a lead investor, B Dash Ventures, SkyPerfecTV JSAT, rikka, and 01Booster Capital joined as new investors and partners. The funds raised this time will be mainly used for the development of Clubs, a no-code DAO tool, our Khaos Oracle, a tool to freely connect between Web2 and Web3, the expansion of our partner ecosystem, and finally acceleration of business development in Switzerland. Each of the development goals are equally important to the growth of Dev Protocol and we will strive to roll them out seamlessly in the coming months.

Business development

Since its start in 2018, Web3 infrastructure used in Dev Protocol such as DeFi, NFTs, token creation, and ownership authentication continue to evolve everyday. Creators have started their Web3 creator economy by tokenizing their own projects and incentivizing their followers to be part of a community.

While Dev Protocol provides creators with sustainable opportunities, our Khaos Oracle plays an important role behind the scenes. Khaos is a unique technology that connects with creators’ assets and securely authenticates them on public blockchain.This technology will give us infinite possibilities to realize the bridge among various platforms in Web2 and Web3.

Future prospects

In order to meet the diverse needs of the creator economy such as web3 and metaverse, we made an announcement of Clubs, a no-code DAO tool. Clubs has been very popular within our community as it will enable you to easily upgrade your community to web3 by letting you choose templates provided for creators, all with little to no technical knowledge. We believe that this will be one of our first major steps towards reaching a larger audience of creators to join the platform.

Team to accelerate global business

The Dev Protocol team has been expanding the management members in the areas of development, business, and governance since September this year. Within our Swiss subsidiary, we’re promoting global regulation compliance and the maintenance of governance. In the future, we’ll develop an ecosystem that supports a new business opportunity via web3 in a wide variety of industries while sharing technologies and ideas grown in Japan and Switzerland with our partners.

Dev Protocol team

The business of Dev Protocol aims at realizing a society where all innovators and creators are valued and compensated for their work. One of our first realizations of the lack of funding for creators came from seeing the decline of traditional artisans working on cultural monuments within Japan. At the current decline, it is possible most of the knowledge these artisans have will be lost without a next generation to take up the reins. This led to the establishing of our company in 2015 and offering solutions to this problem continues to drive our ideology forward.

Achievements so far

Since August 2015, we have heard the disappointment from many creators who wish for the solutions for the challenges they faced. We believe with the insight of these creators we can solve many of their problems with web 3 and the use of public blockchains. MVP started for the open source community in 2018, and we received new financial support for OSS developers in the world after the launch of the main net in 2020. In addition, Dev Protocol team received a Northeast Asia OSS contribution award for its contribution to the OSS ecosystem in 2021. Until now we have organically been able to grow our users just from necessity and the number of participants in the developer community of Dev Protocol exceeds 500.

Dev Protocol

Dev Protocol is leading the way to Web3 for the creator economy with powerful decentralized blockchain innovations that promote stability and sustainability. Creators and their communities are now united like never before, let’s build together!

“WordPress for DAOs” with Dev Protocol.

https://clubs.devprotocol.xyz/

Today we would finally like to announce our pre registration for our exciting new product, Clubs. Clubs are a way to quickly give anyone with an audience or fundraising goal, the tools to turn their vision into reality. Through Clubs we can offer quick and easy access to starting your web3 community, with no technical knowledge and all within the dev protocol ecosystem.

Clubs are one of our most requested and anticipated projects to date so this initial roll out is a large step forward for Dev Protocol. While we dont expect all features to be completed by pre registration, we will slowly roll out more in the coming months. Our number one priority is to help creators reach their goals of sustainable fundraising and with Clubs we make that possible.

Clubs

The Wordpress of DAO builders

Clubs are a no-code DAO tool that anyone can start for free. Joining Clubs is as easy as starting a blog. With just a few clicks you can start issuing tokens, funding with DeFi, and offering incentives that have been near impossible for non technical creators in the past .

With the identity verification function, which can only be issued by the project owner, to the revenue management function through staking , individual creators can start funding and providing incentives through their DAO from day one, without having to assume the risk of a token sale.

The biggest thing Clubs provide creators are various tools such as issuing social tokens, minting NFTs (can be used as subscription based NFTs), and most importantly the Perks system, which rewards support. There are in depth explanations of each feature below.

Clubs allows simple DAO and Web3 access be incorporated into a variety of communities to help them grow. With Clubs, enthusiasts of particular creators, communities involving local activity, or clubs for sharing hobbies can all be serviced by our suite of features.

• Governance

One of the hardest parts about running a community is giving your supporters a way to interact with the project in a way to affect meaningful change. Clubs give the creators the ability to add a governance layer on top of their club to allow voting, suggestions, etc. This governance feature greatly increases interaction and understanding of what the patrons desire from the creator and vice versa. We expect the governance feature to be extremely important in the future for building out Clubs and DAOs with Dev Protocol.

• Perks

For creators, Clubs will give you the ability to connect with your community, offer them rewards for their patronage, which could range from anything to unique NFTs, behind the scenes videos or monthly goodies sent directly to their front door. Incentivize new patrons to join your community and get involved in your project by rewarding them for their continued support.

Want to only reward the most dedicated supporters with certain perks ? As a creator you will have the ability to only reward patrons who stake a certain amount of support. This feature will give you complete control for exactly how you want to run your perks and fundraising.

• Auctions

In addition to the perks system available in clubs, we are giving creators the option to conduct private auctions between their supporters. Auctions help projects raise funds while offering unique NFTs and other collectibles to their staunchest of supporters. For the stakers and supporters, this is a way to show everyone their dedication to the project. Auctions direct to the community have always been a difficult challenge for many creators and we hope our Auction system can offer a solution that benefits both parties.

• Quests

Quests are a unique feature for Clubs that allow creators to offer bounties for specific tasks they might need done. For example, a project may want to expand their audience and require translation of blog posts, which could be offered as a quest. Any member of the community could rise to the challenge and complete the Quest, provided they have the expertise. The reward from completing a Quest could range from an NFT commemorating your work to a personalized thank you video from the creator. The possibilities are endless and left completely up to the creator.

• In collaboration with Polygon Studios

3. Clubs is developed through an official collaboration with Polygon Studios, the fastest and most efficient way to build your DAO for your community and supporters with just a few clicks, taking full advantage of Polygon.

The Clubs Case Study

Clubs is currently in the process of developing a product version, with preliminary offerings to partners. Clubs partner, Temple DAO, which supports the cultural and technical heritage of 17,000 temples nationwide, offers ETH support and member benefits. We are planning to support credit card payments, Temple DAO Card NFTs, which will support temple restoration, and launch contributor Quests in the near future.

This update also brings an exciting new experience to supporters. Supporters can stake any amount of $DEV tokens to their favorite creator, and get rewarded in the process. Staking via Dev Protocol allows for a more sustainable way of support than direct funding, and it also allows supporters the added benefit to explore the amazing perks provided by their favorite creators depending on the staking amount. Using the Clubs page, supporters can directly stake their ETH tokens, which are turned into $DEV tokens by the mechanism, and start exploring the exciting world of sustainable funding.

We believe that the vision of both Dev Protocol and Polygon Studios aligns, and this partnership will mutually benefit both projects and their dream to change the web3 scape. Let’s build the next generation Decentralized #Creatoreconomy together.

TemplesDAO released

As the first project taking advantage of “Clubs”, a DAO starter kit for developers,“TemplesDAO” has been launched for Japanese cultural arts.

https://temples.clubs.stakes.social/

Specifically TemplesDAO aims to preserve Buddhist arts and assets throughout Japan. The main benefactor is Suiundoh, Inc., whose main business is restoring temples, national treasures and Buddha statues. Suiundoh’s plan is to collect sustainable financial support by staking, and providing supporters with Perks at the same time in an effort to fulfill gaps from other philanthropic aid.

Suiundoh’s business is quite unique as they not only restore buildings and gates within temples, but also create items found within the temples including statues and ritual articles. Their goal is to preserve precious cultural assets in Japan while at the same time passing down materials and technology so that younger generations are able to restore them at a later time. Dev Protocol’s sustainable funding system was adopted by Suiundoh due to sharing a common goal of “sustainability”.

https://suiundo.co.jp

Clubs — a sustainable funding scheme

Clubs is a sustainable development kit (SDK) for a creator economy developed by Dev Protocol. It offers a method of sustainable funding for creators and rewards for fans through staking either DEV or ETH. While creators receive funds for their activities, they can also set up Perks depending on the contribution level of their fans. Some examples of them in TemplesDAO are:

• Private access to auctions.
• Ability to purchase handcrafted goods from local vendors.
• Special Perks (Event invitations, member- only services, etc)

Tradition x Innovation

Due to the downward trend of the traditional craft industry, decreasing number of successors having traditional craftsmanship experience, many arts and national treasures lack maintainers. The rapid reduction of domestic and overseas tourists from the spread of COVID-19 exacerbated the situation, resulting in the shortage of funds for preservation and restoration. TemplesDAO has the potential to be a guiding light for artisans and fans of traditional arts in this challenging time.

TemplesDAO is a whole new community that bridges digital technology with traditional culture. Thanks to the support of digital assets, you can join this DAO no matter where you live in order to contribute to the growth of the project as a member. Funds are used for the restoration of temples and support for artisans, while members of TemplesDAO will receive a physical as well as on-chain experience that cannot be seen in other fundraising programs.

TemplesDAO will start on June 6, 2022 (JST). While your staking leads to the preservation of national treasures, you’ll also have a chance to receive Perks depending on your staking amount as a reward for your support. Perks include your participation in a private auction and members only services with limited items.

Frame00, a founder of Dev Protocol, was established in 2015 by CEO Mayumi Hara, who noticed that Japanese artisans are economically less valued although their art remains for more than a century. Dev Protocol team is delighted to be able to promote regional revitalization and culture inheritance business by DAO.

Thank you for waiting.

We will further promote that creators and backers work together to drive project growth and are equally rewarded.

Perks and allocation for stakers

Since the beginning we have always wanted to create a way for stakers to be rewarded for their patronage and with our upcoming release, this becomes a reality.

“Clubs” is our new portal for DAOs that demonstrates the true value of funding through staking by offering perks. We hope to show off the extraordinary capabilities of Dev Protocol’s Social Tokens through this new feature. So what are Perks and how will they work?

Perks are a new incentive to boost staking──locking $DEV on a project──and add an additional layer of incentive to staking rewards.

You will experience exclusive offers of special access, content, and real-life experiences gated by $DEV staking. Backers gain both economic and cultural benefits from staking, and for creators it turns new project features, advance access, and other productions into increased revenue for their projects.

For the first time, Clubs is releasing a “Community Allocation” that allocates creators’ Social Tokens to stakers. This means an additional stream of staking APY and bringing the potential of upside to each project.

Backers earn Social Tokens on a pro-rata basis according to their staking amount, automatically and permanently capturing the upside of the total staking rewards a project collects. If you now have 5% of Social Tokens, you can capture “2.55% = 51% x 5%” of the value the project earns; Perks-boosted staking growth boosts your APY, and that growth is yours as long as you hold Social Tokens.

Auction, Commerce

An exclusive auction and commerce experience gated by Staking is coming as well.

By staking you can earn access to NFTs by creators, authentic works of art, products not available to the public. This allows you to become part of an exclusive group by supporting your creators and receiving benefits in return.

Quests

Staking is not the only way to indicate your status in a project.

Quests are a path for you to get more advantageous Perks and larger allocations through your contribution to the project.

Quests are a new DAO experience that brings the interaction between backers and creators to a whole new level.

Upcoming…

Two cultural Clubs will open this May, and beyond that will come large OSS community Clubs.

We will announce the first Club experience shortly, so be sure to join our community on Discord and be prepared to be the first to see updates.
