Proposal Information
Proposal description:
TOUCH GREEN is all about exploring the potential of DAOs in promoting sustainability, decentralization, governance, Web3 culture and we think Giveth will be a perfect match. We love your commitment to innovation and sustainability, and we think that your support would help us make a huge impact.
TOUCH GREEN is fully managed by COMMIT DAO which is also the publisher of COMMIT, the ultimate web3 culture media. For legal reasons, COMMIT DAO will be supported by COMMIT MEDIA our Luxembourgish based company.
The original idea came from MCON2 last year. I thought it would be definitely great to create a similar event in the heart of Europe.
• What is it: 2 day DAO convention (we are still in the process with the venue)
• When: 7 & 8 September 2023
• Where: Luxembourg Ville 
• Why: I live here. The country is business-friendly, with a lack of events about blockchain, crypto and obviously DAOs, but there’s a huge community and a real interest from institutions. +160 nationalities, free public transportation, 2h from Paris and Bruxelles by train, 1h from Zürich, Geneva, London by plane and 2 hours from Barcelona, Lisbon and Berlin.
• How much: Free for all but, to avoid sybil posers we have implemented a low cost ticketing system. We ask all attendees for a small deposit (except from communities we agreed on a deal with). Attendees pledge a $30 deposit which will be managed by COMMIT DAO. At the end of the event every depositors gets back their money.
• How many attendees? Up to 500 (max)
• What happens if someone pledge and don’t come? COMMIT DAO keep the remaining deposits and a vote will pass on the use of these funds.
Proposal Rationale
At TOUCH GREEN, we’re bringing together blockchain enthusiasts, investors, entrepreneurs, researchers, academics, to explore the intersection of blockchain, sustainability, and DAOs. We’re going to cover a ton of topics, including governance, DAO toolboxes, decentralization, Web3 social apps, cypherpunk, and more. Plus, we’ve got lots of fun stuff planned in the pipe.
Expected duration or delivery date (if applicable):
N/A but we hope to close all sponsorships by the end July.
