III. Scope and Objectives of the Public Launch
The Public Launch officially opens the entire Hello World Co-Op Ecosystem to permissionless access, allowing any individual or organization to join and participate without prior invitation or vetting, provided they adhere to the Terms of Service and compliance protocols.
The primary objectives include:
**Global Accessibility and Adoption:** Enable widespread access
to all platforms, rapidly accelerating user acquisition towards the
ambitious target of "50 million users within 18 months".
Real-World
Impact Generation: Facilitate the large-scale funding and
deployment of real-world infrastructure projects through Otter Camp,
targeting "$100 Billion in real-world infrastructure projects
within 18 months of Otter Camp's mainnet launch".
Economic
System Activation: Fully activate the D.O.M. utility token's
economic functions across all platforms, driving the regenerative
economic model through diverse activities and dynamic burn
mechanisms.
Community
Empowerment at Scale: Foster an expansive global community of
owner-operators, actively engaged in governance, learning, ethical
commerce, and physical development.
IV. Key Features and Functionalities at Public Launch
Upon public launch, all core components of the Hello World Co-Op DAO Ecosystem will be fully operational and accessible, emphasizing a "mobile-first approach, user-friendly onboarding, multilingual support, and localized legal strategies to ensure worldwide inclusivity".
A. Hello World Co-Op DAO: The Collective's Conscience & Command Center
The DAO serves as the foundational governance and legal structure, emphasizing transparency, equity, and collective agency, fully open for membership.
**"1 Member = 1 Vote" (1M1V) Governance:** Legally
embedded in the Wyoming DAO LLC's operating agreement and strictly
enforced on-chain via non-transferable, soulbound Membership NFTs
(ERC-721) and temporary, ephemeral voting tokens (VoteNFT.sol).
Proposal
Process: Members can submit proposals, which undergo review by
the Proposal Review Board before a binding DAO vote. The DAO
Dashboard will be the central hub for all governance activities,
offering transparent access to proposals, voting, and treasury
review.
Patronage
Dividends: Up to 50% of net profits are distributed equally to
active members as patronage dividends, with the remainder reinvested
into new community projects and DAO growth, fostering a regenerative
economic model.
Legal
Framework: The dual-entity legal structure (Wyoming DAO LLC +
Non-Profit Community Land Trust) provides robust asset protection,
compartmentalizes risk, and allows seamless interfacing with
traditional legal and financial systems.
B. D.O.M. (Decentralized Otter Money) Utility Token
The D.O.M. token, fully minted at genesis with a fixed supply of 420 Trillion and 0% inflation, will be the primary utility currency for the entire ecosystem.
**No Governance Role:** Crucially, D.O.M. explicitly has NO
governance role; voting rights are strictly managed by
non-transferable Membership NFTs, a deliberate design choice to
avoid security classification.
**Utilities:**
Used for decentralized commerce on the Co-Op Marketplace,
crowdfunding real-world infrastructure and ecological campaigns on
Otter Camp, in-game asset purchases and upgrades, and peer-to-peer
(P2P) transactions between members.
Elastic
Burn Behavior: Dynamic deflationary mechanism, where D.O.M. is
systematically burned during various ecosystem activities
(donations, in-game purchases, marketplace transactions), creating
strong early deflation when the price is low and tapering as the
price rises. Specific burn rates include an amplified 5:1 burn for
ecological restoration projects.
C. Otter Camp: Gamified Crowdfunding Platform
The browser-based RPG will be fully open, transforming DAO-approved real-world infrastructure proposals into interactive "quests" for players to fund.
**Integrated Gameplay:** Includes core narrative elements such as
the 12 Archetypes, the Sigil Medallion (activated post-"The
Song of the Otters"), the Order of Seven Elephants, and the
restoration of the Steam Engine & Lost Tracks.
Funding
Mechanisms: Funds for approved projects are held in escrow via
TreasuryManager.sol
and released upon verified milestone achievement, often confirmed by
DeploymentProofNFT.sol.
**Game Wallet:**
Integrated game wallet functionality for seamless in-game
transactions.
Mainnet
Launch: The full mainnet game launch for Otter Camp is targeted
by December 2026, building on the Public Launch.
D. Co-Op Marketplace: The Ethical & Regenerative Commerce Hub
This multi-layered decentralized e-commerce platform will be fully accessible for B2C (Consumer), B2B (Enterprise), and raw materials/supply chain transactions, explicitly rejecting traditional exploitative models.
**DAO-Vetted & Compliant Vendors:** All vendors must be
DAO-vetted members, subjected to identity verification and
compliance checks (KYC/AML), and adhere to strict Ethical and
Sustainability Terms of Service, including a zero-tolerance policy
for exploitative labor, counterfeit goods, fraud, trafficking, and
environmental degradation.
Automated
Ethical Enforcement: Ethical compliance is actively enforced via
smart contracts like EthicsCompliance.sol
and VendorRegistry.sol,
allowing for automated blocking of disallowed products or sanctions
for violations. SupplyChainTracker.sol
may be utilized to record provenance and verify claims.
Multi-Currency
Payment Router: The PaymentRouter.sol
smart contract supports multi-currency payments (fiat via on-ramps,
decentralized stablecoins, direct Web3 crypto transfers, and native
D.O.M. token). A tiered fee structure incentivizes D.O.M. usage.
E. Rabbit Whole: Social & Educational Hub
The decentralized social networking and "learn-to-earn" platform will be fully accessible, cultivating community, knowledge, and skill development.
**Learn-to-Earn Curriculum:** Members can earn D.O.M. tokens,
badges (e.g., Learning
NFTs/Badges via Certification.sol),
or reputation for completing courses on permaculture farming, solar
panel installation, blockchain basics, and co-op business
management.
Offline
Ambassador Program: This critical initiative will bridge the
digital divide by utilizing local WiFi hotspots (e.g., Raspberry Pi
servers) to deliver Rabbit Whole content to communities with limited
internet access, with content periodically synced to the blockchain.
Wallet-Attached
Profiles: Member's on-chain identities (their Membership NFT
wallet) will serve as social profiles, displaying verified
contributions, skills, and badges.
F. Think Tank App: AI-Powered Proposal Outlining Assistant
The AI-powered outlining tool will be publicly available, democratizing proposal generation by lowering technical barriers.
**Non-Governance Role:** It is explicitly NOT designed or
utilized for governance functions; governance operates strictly via
the 1M1V DAO voting process.
**RAG System:**
Leverages local Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems and
sophisticated prompt engineering, orchestrating specialized persona
agents to efficiently retrieve and synthesize information from a
curated corpus of pre-vetted data.
Proposal
Workflow Integration: Generates structured, JSON-based outlines
that conform to a data schema, ensuring consistency and seamless
downstream compatibility. These outlines are submitted to the
Proposal Oversight Board for vetting, and upon binding DAO approval,
progress to Otter Camp for gamified crowdfunding.
G. Modular Dev Toolkit / Regenerative Cooperative Campuses (RCCs)
The physical manifestation of the ecosystem, comprising modular, containerized physical infrastructure units (e.g., Core Units, Fabrication Annex, Energy Annex, Food & Water Annex, Housing Modules, Community Clinics), will be supported by funding initiatives and deployment guides.
**Integrated Payment Terminals:** Crucially, these physical units
will integrate payment terminals connected to the network,
facilitating financial transactions via PaymentRouter.sol
and distributing compute resources and IPFS across the network,
bridging digital and physical realms.
IoT Sensor
Integration: Integrated IoT sensors feed real-time, verifiable
data (e.g., carbon sequestered, water purified, energy produced)
directly to the blockchain or dashboards, providing transparent
impact metrics. This data relates exclusively to environmental
outcomes, not private human data.
Tiered
Housing Access: RCCs will offer tiered housing access from
flexible community occupancy to transitional work-trade pathways and
permanent non-speculative models, all linked to active DAO
membership.
V. Compliance and Regulatory Posture at Public Launch
The Public Launch significantly escalates the scale of operations, necessitating robust and continuously enforced compliance frameworks to mitigate legal and financial liabilities. Hello World Co-Op has proactively built-in compliance from the ground up.
**VASP Classification & FinCEN MSB Preparedness:** The
ecosystem's operations (Co-Op Marketplace facilitating
multi-currency payments, Otter Camp accepting fiat donations) are
likely classified as a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) under
FATF standards. Hello World is prepared to register as a FinCEN
Money Services Business (MSB) if deemed necessary, with a
comprehensive AML compliance program established prior to launch.
SEC
No-Action Letter Pursuit: An ongoing critical effort is pursuing
an SEC No-Action Letter to affirm the D.O.M. token's status as a
utility token and not a security, reinforced by its explicit lack of
governance role.
AML/CFT
Program: A risk-based AML/CFT program includes mandatory KYC/CDD
for vendors on the Co-Op Marketplace, ongoing transaction monitoring
using on-chain analytics and AI, adherence to FATF Recommendation 11
for record-keeping (at least five years), and a clear Unhosted
Wallet Interaction Policy.
FATF Travel
Rule (Recommendation 16): The Hello World Co-Op is prepared to
implement the Travel Rule, requiring secure transmission of
originator and beneficiary information for virtual asset transfers,
including due diligence on counterparty VASPs.
OFAC
Sanctions Compliance: A tailored, risk-based sanctions
compliance program, including screening against the Specially
Designated Nationals (SDN) list and leveraging blockchain analytics,
is implemented to block transactions associated with sanctioned
entities.
Smart
Contract Audits: Continuous, rigorous third-party security and
compliance audits for all core smart contracts are a commitment,
with modularity for upgrades and emergency hotfix protocols
(requiring prompt DAO reporting and retroactive DAO ratification).
Robust
Security & Custody: Treasury assets are secured with
top-tier, auditable multi-signature (multisig) cold storage
solutions, with exploration of regulated institutional custodians
for significant Bitcoin holdings.
VI. Ambitious Impact Targets
The Public Launch is the critical enabler for achieving the ecosystem's ambitious impact targets:
**Organizational Partners:** 100 organizational partners by
launch.
User
Acquisition: 50 million active players within Otter Camp within
18 months of its mainnet launch, with similar ambitious targets for
Co-Op Marketplace user adoption and transactional volume.
Crowdfunded
Infrastructure Funding: $100 Billion in real-world
infrastructure projects within 18 months of Otter Camp's mainnet
launch. The Official Launch will occur at the end of the Series B
funding round, aiming for $100 million in funding to complete
digital layer deployments.
VII. Post-Launch Development & Impact (Rolling 2026 onwards)
The Public Launch is not an endpoint but the beginning of sustained post-launch development and impact:
**First IRL Proposals Deployed:** Initial real-world
infrastructure pilots will begin deployment.
Narrative &
Progression Milestones: This includes the Mimosa Tree
Appearance, Unlocking "The Song of the Otters," Activation
of the Sigil Medallion, Discovery of Order of Seven Elephants, and
Restoration of the Steam Engine & Lost Tracks.
Regenerative
Cooperative Campuses (RCCs): Continued development of physical
DAO hubs.
Ongoing
Growth: Continuous community-built lore, ongoing partner
integrations, and cross-DAO federation to build a federated network
of regenerative communities.
The Public Launch of the Hello World Co-Op DAO Ecosystem solidifies our commitment to creating a transparent, secure, ethically driven, and truly regenerative future, collectively empowering global communities through a meticulously designed and compliant framework.
