Our expertise lies in guiding communities through the process of creating an organizational structure that facilitates active participation, cooperation, and accountability. You can build a community-driven ecosystem that fosters positive change and ensures your project\u2019s long-term success.\n\nThese four pillars present our approach to funding, governance, and public goods management:\n\n**Cultural frameworks:**  We provide comprehensive cultural frameworks that empower impact-focused communities to form, fundraise, and govern effectively, ensuring their long-term success. These frameworks are designed to accommodate the unique needs and challenges of DAOs, offering flexible, research-based solutions that respect both collective and individual autonomy.\n\n**Economics Co-design:** We champion Economic Co-design, a methodology that promotes inclusion, transparency, and active participation, enabling community members to create their own economic design proposals. This ensures diverse perspectives are heard, fostering the growth of innovative and practical solutions tailored to community needs through a 3-step process: educate, propose, and vote.\n\n**Research:** We conduct research to innovate collective governance and economic design tools for web3. Our research-led approach allows us to create adaptable templates that cater to the unique needs of diverse communities.\n\n**Library of Tools:** We curate a library of tools, comprised of modular, interoperable solutions that empower communities to fund projects and establish regenerative token economies. These tools, including the Augmented Bonding Curve and Conviction Voting, facilitate the launch of CommonsDAO and complement the creation of a sustainable, polycentric governance model.\n\nTo enable more communities to launch and interact with their own ABC, we have recently rolled out the [ABC Launch](https://launch.abcswap.xyz/) and [ABC Swap](https://abcswap.xyz/) MVP.\nThe ABC Launch dapp enables individuals and projects to create an Aragon DAO and deploy their own Augmented Bonding Curve. It offers customization options for parameters such as opening price, reserve collateral and entry/exit tributes, empowering projects to create DAO-owned liquidity and unique microeconomies. The ABC Swap facilitates swapping of tokens launched and governed by ABCs. \n\n![ABC graph](https://imgur.com/Fn6hSzr.png)\n\n# \ud83e\udd1d Our Commitment to Open Source\n\nOpen source fosters a culture of collaboration, knowledge sharing, and mutual respect. It gives builders worldwide access to tools and resources that collectively drive research and social and technological advancements.\n\nWe champion a culture of radical openness as we believe transparency advances projects and productivity ethically and inclusively. We actively practice the philosophy of open source by building in public.\n\n\n# \ud83c\udf1fOur History of Success\n\nWe launched the first Augmented Bonding Curve for the Token Engineering Commons in 2021, and [$TEC has maintained parity with ETH in a bear market](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ipSAI5M1Yo_nWEgfxMfY5n_lGq6SFrog/edit#gid=1569207494) (only down ~15% vs ETH) while the ABC collected $300k via swapping fees for TE Public Goods. This economic model is a significant milestone towards \"Impact = Profit\".\n\nIn 2023, we deployed Aragon OS & our CommonsDAO tools such as Tao Voting and ABC to Optimism. Tao Voting features Delegation and \"Wait for Quiet\" to prevent last-minute vote manipulation. The [ABC Launch](https://launch.abcswap.xyz/) enables communities to launch and interact with their own ABC, providing a no-code solution to launch economic systems like friend.tech.\n\nOur Conviction Voting model has been adopted by notable projects like Gitcoin, Giveth, TEC, 1Hive, BrightID, and more.\n\n\n# \ud83c\udfaf What's Next with the Funding\n\nWe\u2019ve been in pursuit of more funding to expand the reach of our CommonsDAO tooling, including the Augmented Bonding Curve, Tao Voting and Conviction Voting. After the successful launch of the ABC Launch and ABC Swap MVP, our goal is to extend our CommonsDAO tooling to more networks and communities. This means more public good projects gaining access to our innovative tools and ability to launch an ABC to fund and govern their missions, empowering them to create sustainable token economies and effective governance models. We\u2019re also currently working on the next versions of ABC Launch and ABC Swap and planning for future releases. \n\nIn addition to supporting our specific projects, the funding from GG19 will provide a much-needed boost to our overall operations, particularly in navigating the challenges of the bear market. \ud83d\udc3b  We believe in the resilience and potential of the Commons Stack community, and with your support, we can continue to innovate and drive impact, regardless of market conditions.\n\n# \ud83d\udc65 Our Team \n\nWe are committed to fostering an inclusive work environment and prioritizing diversity and inclusion.
