Context

With the Model DAOs, we aim to showcase our efforts in building infrastructure for Kambria DAOs. In these DAOs, besides playing the role of Organizer, Kambria also plays the role of Dev Partner as a demonstration, and leads the commercialization of Vietnam DAO Hub.

While developing the solution for our first Model DAO - Tech-powered Elderly Care DAO, we realize that its connection model can be extended to various domains and wider target audiences, as a platform for people around the world to exchange skills, knowledge and experience. 

So in 2025 we will expand to the second Model DAO - Capacity Exchange DAO. Let’s dive into it!

Capacity Exchange - Solution overview

• The Capacity Exchange DAO leverages the proven connection model from the Tech-powered Elderly Care DAO to create a global platform for people to exchange skills, knowledge, and experiences in real-time, online sessions.
• This platform enables participants to seamlessly switch roles as Service Providers or Service Users, fostering a dynamic environment for mutual learning and collaboration.
• The solution supports a wide variety of subjects and domains, including but not limited to:
  • Personal development
  • Educational & Academic support
  • Business & Professional connections
  • Creative collaboration, Social & Cultural exchange
  • Social impact & Volunteering
  • Technology & Digital literacy
  • Hobbies, Crafts, and Culinary arts 
  • Mind sports, Strategies and Cognitive development 
  • Psychology, Mental health and Spiritual
• Participants can connect through their preferred devices, such as smartphones, laptops, or tablets.
• AI-driven features enhance the user experience by providing personalized recommendations for sessions, assisting users with commands, and answering questions via voice-based AI.
• The DAO’s business model incentivizes participation by compensating Service Providers while allowing Service Users to access diverse expertise. Payment can be facilitated through crypto on-ramps and off-ramps, making it accessible for people to enter the crypto space.
• The potential market includes individuals, educational institutions, businesses, and organizations seeking skill enhancement, mentorship, or collaboration opportunities.
• Future expansion includes integrating community-driven modules where groups can organize collaborative projects, host thematic events, or build long-term partnerships across domains.

By enabling intergenerational and cross-disciplinary connections, the Capacity Exchange DAO embodies the vision of technology enhancing human potential while building a truly global and inclusive knowledge-sharing community.

Why this Capacity Exchange solution?

Addressing trends and challenges

By addressing these trends and challenges, the Capacity Exchange solution aims to become a transformative platform that empowers individuals, strengthens communities, and drives global progress.

1. Skill gaps and Global demand for lifelong learning

• The need for continuous skill development is rising globally. According to the World Economic Forum, 50% of all employees will require reskilling by 2025 and that a billion people will need to be reskilled by 2030. This shift is primarily driven by advancements in AI, automation, and digitalization.
• According to Pew research, 73% of adults express interest in lifelong learning opportunities, highlighting a strong market for knowledge exchange platforms.

2. Rise of the Gig and Knowledge economy: The global gig economy is projected to grow to $455 billion by 2025, driven by individuals seeking flexible opportunities to monetize their skills.
3. Growing need for Personalized, Social and Collaborative learning

• Today’s learners want experiences that are suited to their unique requirements and interests.
• People also want to learn through informal learning experiences, which include interactions with mentors and peers, in addition to traditional classroom-based learning. Social learning enables problem-solving and can boost connections and build skills.

4. Cost-effective and Accessible learning: Traditional learning avenues, such as universities or professional training programs, are expensive and time-intensive. Capacity Exchange DAO democratizes access to expertise, offering affordable, on-demand sessions that fit diverse schedules and budgets.
5. Social impact: The platform promotes social inclusivity by offering opportunities for individuals from underserved or remote areas to access global expertise and share their unique knowledge.

Compared to other similar platforms

By combining innovative features, a strong emphasis on inclusivity, and a unique economic and governance model, the Capacity Exchange solution would stand out as a transformative platform in the knowledge-sharing and collaboration space.

1. Two-way dynamic role exchange: Unlike many platforms that focus solely on one-sided service delivery (e.g., tutor-student or freelancer-client), the Capacity Exchange solution uniquely enables participants to seamlessly switch roles as both Service Providers and Service Users. This fosters reciprocity, inclusivity, and a more engaging user experience.
2. Cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural focus: The platform goes beyond professional skills, encouraging exchanges across personal interests, cultural practices, and life experiences. Its emphasis on intergenerational connections fosters a deeper sense of community and cross-cultural understanding, differentiating it from competitors.
3. Interactive practice sessions: Similar to the solution of Tech-powered Elderly Care DAO, Capacity Exchange solution also supports interactive practice sessions using 2 devices (mobile and laptop) for a richer learning experience.
4. Global vision with Local relevance: While being a global platform, the solution adapts to local cultures and needs by encouraging users to share unique regional skills, traditions, and languages. This localization approach distinguishes it from platforms that adopt a one-size-fits-all model.
5. Community-Driven DAO Governance: Unlike traditional centralized platforms, the Capacity Exchange solution operates as a DAO, allowing users to have a say in the platform's direction and governance. This democratic model aligns with the values of trust, transparency, and collaboration.
6. Crypto-fiat payment integration: Unlike traditional platforms limited to fiat currencies, this solution offers crypto on-ramps and off-ramps, empowering users with global, secure, and transparent transaction options.

Solution development

DAO Dev Partner

In the Model DAO, Kambria will play the role of DAO Dev Partner, following Kambria DAOs model:

• Dev Team presents proposal with prototype ready for the Judge Committee to evaluate 
• Upon passing the evaluation, Dev Team becomes DAO Dev Partner to develop complete solution
• And the DAO fundraising starts for the first product cycle

MVP features

We have set a goal to complete the MVP by November 2025, which includes experimentation. The MVP will encompass the following features:

1. Core features (inherited from the Tech-powered Elderly Care DAO solution)

• Session management: Posting, booking, and joining sessions.
• Payment transactions: Secure and efficient payment processing.
• Device compatibility: Usable across smartphones, laptops, and tablets.

2. Expanded functionality

• Domain hierarchy: A structured categorization adding Domains above Subjects and Topics.
• Two-way platform: Users can switch roles between Service Provider and Service User across any domain.
• AI voice assistant: For seamless navigation, Q&A, and executing commands.

3. User-friendly enhancements

• Multi-language interface: A multilingual platform to cater to a global audience (AI Assistant available in English).
• Flexible session durations: Options tailored to varying expertise levels and user preferences.

MVP experimentation

Throughout the MVP development phase, we plan to conduct an experiment by inviting a small group to actively test the solution. This will involve creating sample calls and collecting valuable feedback to enhance the overall user experience.

Solution commercialization

DAO Community Partner (DAO Hub)

In accordance with the Kambria DAOs model, the Community Partner leads the DAO community in their Hub, actively participating in the solution commercialization and receiving compensation for their Hub’s contributions.

Within the Model DAO, Kambria will play the role of DAO Community Partner (DAO Hub), with specific works including:

• Launching promotional campaigns in their local area.
• Managing sales orders and providing customer support in their locality, earning revenue-sharing from subscription sales.
• Onboarding Service Providers in their locality: overseeing registration and qualification processes, conducting training sessions for solution usage, and facilitating payments.

NFT IP Licensing

In Kambria DAOs model we introduced the concept of NFT IP Licensing for hardware solutions, wherein:

• The codebase of the solution is tokenized into NFTs, and manufacturers can purchase these NFTs to become Production Partners of the DAOs. This grants them a license for technology transfer to manufacture the robots in their respective localities or countries.
• DAO members holding 10.000 LP tokens gain access to the solution’s codebase.

In case the solution of the Capacity Exchange DAO is a software solution with hardware integration:

• The rule allowing DAO members with 10,000 LP tokens to access the solution's codebase remains applicable. 
• We may explore the possibility of selling NFT IP Licensing specifically for the AI modules.

DAO governance

Adhering to Kambria DAOs model, among DAO members who hold LP tokens, the top fund contributors and most active members will join the DAO Council to make decisions for the DAO, such as:

• Establishing the solution roadmap for upcoming product cycles.
• Devising sales and marketing strategies, emphasizing branding and awareness to bolster the sales efforts of all Community Partners and Channel Partners.

Formation of the DAO Council is slated to occur 6 months after reaching the fundraising goal, corresponding to when the vesting progress attains the 50% mark.

Timeline

Outlined below is a preliminary timeline for upcoming activities:

• Q2 - Q4 2025: MVP development and experimentation
• Q4 2025 - Q1 2026: DAO launch (Proposal presentation & Evaluation) and Fundraising. 

During the Fundraising phase, Kambria can initiate commercialization activities to validate market potential, operating under the role of Community Partner.
