​

A DAO is a digital organization where all members make decisions together using transparent voting, without needing one central authority. Think of it like an online group where everyone has a vote on what happens, and all actions are visible to everyone.

​

The DAO is the organizational backbone of the Shapeless Movement, designed to ensure transparency, collective decision-making, and decentralized governance. Built on blockchain technology, it offers participants the ability to be actively involved in shaping the direction of the movement through voting, proposal submissions, and real-time decision-making.

​

How the DAO Works:

​

1. Community Ownership and Governance:

   • The DAO is a community-driven system where every participant holds a stake. This stake can be in the form of tokens or voting rights that represent their contribution and voice within the movement.

   • Voting on Proposals: Any member of the movement can submit a proposal to guide the future steps, whether it's about resource allocation, new projects, or partnerships. These proposals are voted on by the community, ensuring that the collective decides the direction.

​

1. Resource Distribution:

   • The movement's resources are governed by the community. Funds from donations or revenue streams (like content creation, partnerships, etc.) are allocated based on community consensus.

   • Transparency: Every transaction and vote is recorded on the blockchain, ensuring complete transparency and accountability. Members can track how resources are being used and ensure they align with the movement's goals.

​

1. Cross-Border Collaboration:

   • The Shapeless Movement’s global vision requires coordination across multiple regions and cultures. The DAO facilitates seamless collaboration across borders, allowing members from different countries to propose solutions that benefit everyone.

   • Equal Representation: No single region or group dominates the decision-making process. The DAO’s voting mechanism ensures that every voice is heard, regardless of geographical location.

​

1. Decentralized Leadership:

   • Unlike traditional hierarchies, the Shapeless Movement operates without a single leader. Instead, leadership is fluid, and anyone who contributes significantly can rise to a position of influence. This is similar to how certain individuals can be recognized as "delegates" or "representatives" within the DAO.

   • Self-Sustaining System: As the movement grows, the DAO ensures its sustainability by automatically adjusting governance rules based on community feedback and participation.

​

1. Inclusivity and Participation:

   • The DAO structure allows anyone to join, regardless of background, as long as they adhere to the values of the movement. Inclusivity is at the core, with mechanisms that allow newcomers to learn, participate, and gradually take on more responsibilities.

​

Why a DAO?

​

By operating as a DAO, the Shapeless Movement ensures that no single person, entity, or government can control its narrative. It stays true to its mission of being "shapeless," fluid, and adaptive to the needs of the people it serves. The power lies in the hands of the community, ensuring that the movement remains transparent, decentralized, and uncorrupted.

​

This approach aligns with the movement's ethos of uniting people under a new, collective vision—one that transcends religious, political, and geographical divisions, and instead focuses on harmony, unity, and collective progress.

​

Cross-border Collaboration: Since it's online, people from both Israel and Palestine (or anywhere) can participate equally, making decisions together no matter where they are.

• Transparency The DAO ensures no single person can control the funds or decisions. Everything is visible to the group, so there's accountability.

• Fast Action Decisions are made by quick group votes, allowing the movement to keep growing and acting without long delays.

• Managing Resources People can contribute to the DAO, and the group votes on how to use those resources—whether for building communities, supporting artists, or creating healing spaces.

• ​Preventing Sabotage

  • Voting Power: Everyone’s ability to vote is tied to tokens they hold, which are earned through participating in or supporting the movement. If someone tries to act maliciously, their votes can be outweighed by the rest of the community.

  • Reputation System: To avoid bad actors, the DAO could implement a reputation system—people with positive contributions have more influence, while those with bad behavior get less.

• Clear Rules A DAO runs on smart contracts, which are unchangeable rules encoded into the system. This means no one can change the way it operates without the group’s agreement.

Protection from Malicious Intent

​

• Community Oversight: Since every action and vote is visible to everyone, it’s much harder for someone to sabotage without being noticed.

• Decentralized Control: The DAO isn’t controlled by any one person or small group, making it difficult for someone to “take over” or manipulate the system for personal gain.

​

Simplified Workflow

​

1. Invite people to join the DAO: They get a say in decisions by earning tokens or contributing.

2. Set up transparent voting: For any major decisions, like how to spend funds or where to set up neutral zones, everyone votes.

3. Protect from sabotage: Use clear rules and a reputation system, making sure only trusted members influence big decisions.
