The above ideas are excellent. In addition to these, I would like to share some ideas as well.
First of all, I think bootcamps would be a powerful idea to educate the community. It would be great if this was run by experienced DAO members. Also, these bootcamps don’t have to be just about web3. There are some very talented web2 developers among us who can manage and train small cohorts as leaders.
For this, I thought of a 4-stage system like universities. When i say bootcamp, i mean just a roadmap. We don’t have to create an actual live bootcamp. In the age of information, it’s really hard to find verified and organized information. That’s why, i belive if we create information base and set some project deadlines for each group and have some office hours with experienced members that would be sufficient. We can open some notion page or some spesific page in our website. As i said, all we need to do is verifiying resources. For example, if grand masters approve some roadmap like this for group 2:
-

-
Finish cryptozombies
-
Learn truffle from this articles …
-

-
Complete 2 dapp with team
Then this verified roadmap will be a bootcamp for that level one quarter of the year long.
1) Absolute Beginners
We need to train applicants at this level first at the web2 level. We can collectively give this group the development of tools that we will use in the dao, by giving simple projects on both backend and frontend. In addition to the above tasks, people who are included in this bootcamp focus on this issue for 3 months, being in the community and have the opportunity to support open source projects. In the meantime, these group/groups are mentored by experts in their fields and their progress is recorded in weekly or twice-weekly meetings.
For example, we can have this group write the question bank application. Everyone collects the questions that come to mind in this bank, and the most asked questions win more DBUCKS with an upvote system like reddit.
Tasks
- Start learning web2
- Complete bootcamp
- Complete projects
Abilities
- Beginner
2) Web3 Beginners
This group would be perfect for people who already have web2 experience and want to learn web3. The task of the people in this group is both to mentor the 1st group and to learn web3 in new projects with the help of the mentors in the upper group. From this level we can form groups to gather around bounties and hackathons to support tokenomics. For example, we can participate in hackathons with groups of 5-10 people and transfer some of the income to mentors and some to the treasury. The bootcamp of this level will proceed in the same way.
For example, let’s plan that we are making a tool that visualizes the gas fees in solidity contracts (it will show the fees that the functions will spend as in the example). The tools to be used in this tool, the development of web3 tools to be used in the dao and the decentralization of the applications made by the 1st group may be the responsibility of this group.
Tasks
- Mentor absolute beginners
- Complete bootcamp
- Complete projects
Abilities
- Expert on web2
3) Web3 Mid-Level
Starting with this group, we can start to produce projects and solve real world problems. What this group has developed can be used to develop both the DAO economy and their own personal economy. This group should now consist of people who have produced several projects on web3. Their responsibilities should be to mentor a subgroup and make a presence there by participating in hackathons. Again, there should be senior level web3 experts above this group. This group can collect rewards by participating in hackathons with their work. They should be made up of small groups, presenting their presence in different hackathons on Gitcoin, and engage in an active development process by meeting every few days. In addition, differentiations may begin from this group. Groups that want to work on Defi, nft groups, dapp groups can be established in different areas according to the project proposals.
For example, a decentralized advertising network in the logic of buysellads. Decentralized delivery of both social media ads and advertisements in the website domains between publishers and advertisers. Example scenario: the advertiser likes a certain social media account or site. It stakes eth to advertise here. The request is forwarded to the publisher. If the publisher rejects the ad offer, the eth stake is broken and the fee is deducted and sent back to the advertiser. If the publisher accepts, eth is staked in one of the liquidity pools. During this period (1 month, 1 week etc) advertisements are tracked and analytics data is collected. As a result of the tracking, if the requested amount of advertising is completed, the eth is transferred to the publisher’s address. (I will create a detailed proposal for this project)
Tasks
- Mentor web3 beginners
- Complete bootcamp
- Join Hackathon
Abilities
- Can create more complex dapp
4) Web3 Grand Masters
This group should act as the core engineering team. DAO’s layer 2 solutions, flagship projects such as defi and NFT derivatives should be developed by this group. In addition, this group should guide the first 3 levels and provide mentorship according to the demands of these people. In return, they should receive a considerable reward from the treasury. Those who complete the first 3 stages should be entitled to take part in these flagship projects. With the work of this group, we can also participate in accelerator programs and grant programs.
Tasks
- Mentor and verifiy bootcamp resources
- Create new complex dapp for DAO (like Defi, Layer 2 etc.)
- Apply grants
Abilities
- Grand master of web3
I know it’s a little bit messy but i would like to hear your ideas about open bootcamp concept. I believe we can educate tons of users with this approach and if we think more on that, we can have better ideas and better structure for educating people. And of course, we need to know more information about members levels and passions.
