Social impact investing with Kambria DAOs

Dear Readers,

As you may already know, Kambria is an open innovation platform for Deep Tech (AI, Robotics, Blockchain, VR/AR, IoT…), with the mission to shape the future of technology where technology is open and contributes more to society.

One of our initiatives is Kambria DAOs. In a nutshell, it is a way for the community to co-own technology. If you are interested in co-owning a technology, you can join the DAO of that solution to decide and contribute to its development and commercialization of it and get revenue sharing when the solution is commercialized.

Following our mission, we have been presented with the opportunity to contribute to these causes:

Pet Care Robot DAO as a Tech Savvy Community Takes Care Of Pets
Ocean Cleanup Robot DAO to Accelerate Towards The Circular Economy
Mine Clearing Robot DAO as a Community Action to Heal the Earth
Underwater Conservation Robot DAO to Embark on Marine Life Monitoring and Conservation
And we will introduce 4 new DAOs in 2024
- Tech-powered Elderly Care DAO
- Home Garden Tech DAO
- Smart Recycle DAO
- Community-based Code Learning DAO

We would like to invite you to become the social impact investors of these DAOs, with detailed information as follows:

DAO partnerships

As DAO is a decentralized organization, all work in Kambria DAOs are done through partnerships, such as:

Kambria as Organizer is in charge of operations to architect the DAO model, develop smart contracts, enroll partners, organize DAO activities, raise funds etc.
Dev Partner to develop tech solution
Judge Committee to evaluate tech solution
Production Partners to manufacture robots at local
Channel Partners to distribute robots at local
Service Partners to implement robotics service at local

DAO financial framework

With reference to the cost structure of tech companies especially robotics companies, we define the DAO financial framework as below:

1. The investment or expense budget will be used for:

65% for R&D and Production or Service, by Dev Partner, Judge Committee, Production or Service Partners
20% for Sales and Marketing by Channel Partner and Community Partners
15% for Operations by Organizer Kambria

2. Revenues from solution sales, services and licensing will be allocated:

75% for expense budget
25% for revenue sharing to DAO fund contributors

3. Note that Kambria DAO LP tokens are Revenue Sharing Token which will bring more benefits for DAO members versus traditional profit sharing model:

They will be rewarded instantly at the time of recording revenues. This allows stakeholders to participate in the success of the project during its growth phase, even if it's not profitable yet.
Moreover, the revenue sharing 25% is pre-defined income stream and better than average profit margin of robotics companies which is 20%.

Please be aware that all numerical values discussed in this article represent parameters of the smart contract, and these figures can be configured during its creation. It's important to note that these values might be subject to change as the DAOs undergo further development and evolution.

Contributing funds to the DAOs by purchasing DAO LP tokens

Using XDAO as a platform for DAO creation and management:

We will have Private offers for big investors, teams, and partners. And Public offers for the community to participate.
The typical fund goal of each DAO is $3M for multiple product cycles ($6M for robotics DAOs).
LP token price is $0.3. So the number of DAO LP tokens to be issued is 10-20M.
Currencies to buy LP tokens are USDT or KAT with a CMC rate at the time of purchase. For example, if the KAT price is $0.03 then 1 LP = 10 KAT.
Following common practices, withdrawals will be limited in the first year to reduce risks in the early stage, using a vesting mechanism.
And DAO LP tokens will be listed in the 2nd year.

DAO governance

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.

The total of governance tokens or GT of a DAO is 1000. Whenever a new member joins the Council, GTs are minted and issued to them accordingly.
Quorum is 70%, meaning, any vote in the DAO needs 70% of total GTs minted at that time to activate.
40% or 400 GTs will be allocated to big fund contributors. Every investor holding at least 5% LP tokens will join the DAO Council. The GTs they have will be synced with their current LP tokens.

40% or 400 GTs will be allocated to the most active LP token holders in terms of their participation in DAO businesses. So we do this by a point reward system where DAO members accumulate points each time participate in DAO activities. Top Active Members will join DAO Council for 1 year. Each member will have 4 GTs equally. This group should be diversified by locals and expertise to be the country leaders of DAO hubs, or subDAOs in later phases.
And the last 20% or 200 GTs will be allocated to Kambria as the Organizer to orchestrate the development of the Kambria DAO model in the early stage.

DAO fundraising campaign #ALPHA

The fundraising goal for the Launching campaign is 15% of the total goal, for the 1st product cycle. Let’s aim to add $450K - $1M to the DAO fund, with the LP tokens to be issued are 1.5M - 3.33M, in the timeframe of 2 months.

Upon completing this goal, the selected Dev Team will start to develop the solution. And the DAO Council will be formed 6 months after when the vesting progress reaches 50%.

How to become a DAO fund contributor?

If you are interested in contributing funds to the DAO, becoming owners of the DAO technology solutions, and getting revenue sharing when the solutions are commercialized, here’s a demonstration of how to join:

1. You can buy DAO LP tokens on the Kambria platform (with the DAO created and run on XDAO).

4. We are excited to announce our upcoming NFT Collection Sale events on NFTify, featuring 3 collections of Animal Kingdom, Ocean Explorers, and Beautiful Earth.
