Core Principles

🎯

Mission

Empowering Ethiopian blockchain developers and enthusiasts through education, collaboration, and decentralized governance.

We provide comprehensive blockchain education, mentorship programs, and hands-on workshops to build local expertise and foster innovation in Ethiopia's tech ecosystem.

🔮

Vision

To establish Ethiopia as a leading hub for blockchain innovation and decentralized autonomous organizations in Africa.

By 2030, we envision Ethiopia hosting the largest blockchain developer community in Africa, with thriving DAOs driving economic growth and technological advancement.

💎

Values

Transparency, inclusivity, innovation, and community-driven decision making at the core of everything we do.

Our governance model ensures every voice is heard, decisions are made transparently, and innovation is rewarded through our token-based incentive system.

🏛️

Governance

Democratic participation through token-based voting, proposal submissions, and consensus-driven development.

Members can submit proposals, vote on initiatives, and participate in treasury decisions. All governance activities are recorded on-chain for complete transparency.

🪙

Tokenomics

Fair distribution model rewarding active participation, education completion, and community contributions.

Earn DAO tokens through learning, teaching, contributing code, participating in governance, and helping grow the community. Tokens unlock voting rights and exclusive benefits.
