Development Phases and Timeline

Objective: Establish the foundation for the DAO and begin building a strong, engaged community.

Governance and Token Launch: Deploy the CATH token on a public blockchain, finalize governance protocols, and open the platform for early adopters.
Website and Platform Launch: Release the official Cathedral Foundation DAO website and governance platform, where community members can participate in decision-making and project funding.
Community Onboarding: Initiate campaigns to onboard the first wave of members and contributors. Early educational initiatives will ensure users understand the DAO’s mission, governance process, and how to participate effectively.
Initial Fundraising Campaign: Conduct a crowdfunding or token sale event to raise funds for the DAO’s initial projects and operations, ensuring transparent reporting of all collected funds.

Objective: Begin funding and supporting early-stage projects while expanding the community and partnerships.

First Round of Funded Projects: Launch the first round of project proposals, where community members can submit and vote on initiatives to be supported by the DAO. Funding will be provided to selected projects focused on economic inclusion, innovation, and sustainability.
Partnerships and Collaborations: Forge partnerships with other DAOs, nonprofit organizations, and institutions aligned with the Cathedral Foundation’s mission. This will help expand the DAO’s influence and access to resources.
Introduction of Staking and Rewards Program: Launch the staking and rewards program, allowing community members to stake CATH tokens in support of governance and receive rewards for their participation.
Second Fundraising Round: Organize additional fundraising campaigns or explore grant opportunities to secure further resources for the DAO’s operations and future projects.

Objective: Scale the DAO’s operations by increasing the number of funded projects and expanding community involvement.

Growth of Funded Projects: Increase the number of project proposals and the scale of funding provided to selected initiatives. Focus on key areas such as microfinance, tech innovation hubs, and environmental sustainability projects.
Establish Regional Hubs: Launch regional hubs to expand the Cathedral Foundation’s reach into underserved regions. These hubs will facilitate local community engagement, provide access to educational resources, and promote decentralized financial systems in emerging markets.
Educational Programs and Content Creation: Develop and distribute educational content to help communities better understand blockchain, decentralization, and how to leverage the DAO’s resources. Expand ambassador and outreach programs to build awareness.
Decentralized Voting Mechanism Upgrade: Implement improvements to the voting system, such as off-chain governance integrations or advanced features like quadratic voting, to ensure fairness and broader participation in decision-making.

Objective: Focus on the technological infrastructure of the DAO and further enhance governance mechanisms.

Blockchain and Smart Contract Audits: Conduct full audits of the DAO’s blockchain infrastructure and smart contracts to ensure security, scalability, and transparency as the ecosystem grows.
Platform Upgrades and Integrations: Introduce new platform features, such as improved user interfaces, additional governance tools, and integrations with other decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols for greater liquidity and flexibility within the ecosystem.
Launch of Major Partnerships and Initiatives: Solidify strategic partnerships with key players in the blockchain and decentralized finance spaces, bringing more visibility and resources to the Cathedral Foundation. Launch high-impact initiatives focused on scaling economic opportunities in underserved markets.
Environmental and Social Impact Monitoring: Introduce blockchain-based monitoring tools to track the long-term social and environmental impact of funded projects. These tools will ensure transparency and allow the community to assess the success of the DAO’s initiatives.

Objective: Achieve full-scale global impact through community-driven governance and sustainable, decentralized operations.

Global DAO Participation: Expand the DAO’s reach to a global audience, engaging participants from diverse regions and ensuring that the DAO’s governance represents a wide range of voices and perspectives.
Sustainable Ecosystem Development: Develop a fully self-sustaining ecosystem where projects are continuously funded and supported through community participation and transparent governance. Further diversify revenue streams through project successes, partnerships, and advanced DeFi integrations.
Advanced Governance Features: Implement next-generation governance tools, such as decentralized identity verification, more complex delegation systems, and governance across multiple chains, to ensure that the DAO continues to evolve with emerging trends.
Impact Scaling: Focus on scaling the social and environmental impact of the DAO by funding larger, more ambitious projects that address global challenges such as poverty, inequality, and climate change. Establish the Cathedral Foundation as a leader in decentralized finance and economic inclusion.
