DAO Maker fundraising types
DAO maker has various fundraising models. The DYCO and SHO are two that they developed themselves. Let’s have a look at what they are:
1) SHO – Strong holder offering
2) DYCO – Dynamic Coin Offering
1. Strong holder offerings (SHO)
SHO is a mechanism where eligible investors are chosen based on their on-chain activities and other data sets.
E.g:
- Holding a specific token for x amount of time
- Being a liquidity provider
- Certain monthly trading volume
- How long you hold tokens
2. Dynamic Coin Offering (DYCO)
Dynamic coin offerings employ utility tokens that are backed by USD for the first 16 months of their lifespan in order to promote accountability from project developers.
If a project is not able to deliver a viable product, DYCO investors reserve the ability to return their tokens and get their investment back. The projects’ tokens are burned.This gives protection against downwards price movement,which makes this very unique and usefull feature.
How to participate in DAO Maker fundraisings
There is a simple tier system based where you earn DAO power base on the number of tokens in your wallet. You can also provide liquidity to earn 1.5x the DAO power daily. You can view the different tiers below. Staking your $DAO tokens in the DAO Maker dashboard places you in the corresponding tier and gives you acces to IDOs and IGOs on the launchpad.
