DAO RESEARCH FOR IBLOOMING
We don't belong in your reality, your real life. In your reality, your real life, you can merely meet our avatars in any version. So, stay alert and beware of scams!
Executive Summary
iBLOOMING is piloting the use of loyalty tokens (Alpha Coin) to test how communities react to educational value. Beyond rewards, this framework can evolve into a DAO model where curriculum, mentor evaluation, and incentive allocation are governed collectively.
This paper presents a simulation model and a roadmap for a functional Educational DAO.
Why DAO for iBLOOMING?
Empower learners with governance rights — let them vote on topics, content ratings, and mentor feedback.
Enable transparent community treasury management — allocate funds where they’re needed most.
Establish adaptive curriculum shaping — proposals for new content emerge from community interest.

Challenges and Proposed Solutions
Voting dominated by few active users
Weighted voting via reputation + participation history
Reward farming or abuse
Soulbound IDs + Proof of Learning requirements
Lack of DAO onboarding literacy
Gamified tutorials & progressive participation
Suggested Implementation Phases
Alpha Phase: Off-chain voting with community forums
Beta Phase: Gnosis Safe-based treasury and limited proposal testing
Gamma Phase: Fully open DAO governance across user roles
Conclusion
A DAO is not just about token voting — it's about decentralized ownership of knowledge and participation. iBLOOMING holds the opportunity to become Southeast Asia's first functional and inclusive Educational DAO, designed for real learners, not just speculative actors.
