eguegu.eth and jiji.eth have been involved in the blockchain industry since 2017, primarily focusing on software development.
We have been interested in NounsDAO, considered one of the most advanced DAOs globally, and have been active participants since February 2023.
We share technical aspects and intriguing elements of NounsDAO primarily with a Japanese audience through YouTube and X.
In May 2023, we launched Crypto Learning Club, a Web3 educational service aimed at promoting mass adoption of Web3 in Japan.
Crypto Learning Club was launched with the concept of helping non-crypto users become Web3 users by learning about Web3 through videos and articles, and improving their understanding by taking tests.
Currently, one year after its release:
Web App users: 2.5k+
YouTube subscribers: 1.3k+
Additionally, CLC is also active as a validator for the global decentralized finance project dYdX, and has received a total of $4M in delegation from over 250 delegators.
Through our activities with NounsDAO and Vitalik's paper on Decentralized Society (Decentralized Society: Finding Web3's Soul), we believe that the concept of accumulating a "soul" in onchain wallets will become the mainstream of the internet in the future.
We think that onchain activity history will become the next form of online identity and it also become assets for us.
Due to the nature of blockchain, data and logic that are public can be used by anyone. Instead of a model where a single service provider offers services, multiple service providers can offer clients in accordance with protocols built on the blockchain. Users can utilize services in a self-sovereign manner. We believe this is the direction the future internet should take.
Therefore, we decided to shift our approach from local, Web2-style services to creating a foundational system for learning that can be used globally by Web3 users.
Kiriko is offered as a completely free permissionless onchain examination protocol.
Just as Farcaster supports the social network protocol with numerous clients, we aim to implement the protocol and its initial client (kiriko.wtf) that will form the foundation for onchain Examination.
As activity history onchain forms an individual's credibility and personality onchain, the scope of Web3 applications expands significantly. We have focused on examinations as one aspect of onchain activities.
With the rapid development of AI, the cost of acquiring information and knowledge has dropped to almost zero, but it is challenging to determine if an individual has truly digested and understood that information.
Existing online exams with third-party-issued certificates are possible, but they require trust in the issuing entity.
kiriko.wtf will build a community that creates an onchain examination environment and community-based certification exams aligned with Web3-native principles, executing everything from test creation to grading and certificate issuance onchain.
With the remarkable development of Layer2, we can use the blockchain as a transparent public database without worrying about gas fees or processing delays. However, the market is still dominated by speculative services and products.
Our goal is to create a new economic sphere by building an onchain certification, learning experience, and donation ecosystem, establishing a foundation of onchain credibility.
The Kiriko Ecosystem consists of three elements:
The Core Protocol enables the creation and taking of exams onchain. The Client Applications are user interfaces that utilize the Core Protocol. Examinees use the Client Applications to take exams and receive certificates onchain based on their results.
A crucial aspect of the long-term development of the Kiriko ecosystem is the creation of subDAOs that will develop onchain certification exams. By establishing subDAOs for exam creation in various fields, we can build new decentralized certification exams.
Our ultimate goal is to elevate onchain certification exams to the same level of international credibility as exams like GMAT, IELTS, and TOEFL.
Kiriko plans to progress the project in the following phases. In the long term, we aim to build a sustainable platform capable of securing long-term sponsorships and donations from a wide range of entities without relying on Nouns DAO. Currently, we have already secured sponsorships from four companies, each contributing $5,000 to $10,000, which gives us confidence in building a sustainable ecosystem.
Considering the history of initiatives like Wikipedia, Gitcoin, and many other charitable organizations, we believe that building a sustainable ecosystem is entirely feasible. We also feel that Web3 has the power to advance such public good activities.
We will build an MVP and an experimental subDAO to validate the concept of onchain examinations.
Based on the insights and user base gained from the MVP implementation, we aim to expand our sponsor companies and examination community.
We will further expand the community and create a market for onchain examinations.
We aim to decentralize overall governance, including protocol development, and enable the continuous maintenance of the project through sponsorships and donations.
This proposal is for the budget for Phase 1.
Since kiriko.wtf is offered as a completely free protocol so it does not generate revenue from the protocol itself and is positioned as a public good project. However, our primary goal is to build a sustainable ecosystem and we'll keep working on it.
Our team has already begun independently securing sponsorships and has seen significant traction and potential.
We are confident that creating new public good products by Nouns DAO will play a significant role in enhancing the project's brand value.
Additionally, we will strive to increase Nouns DAO's recognition through the following methods.
In the future, further integration with Nouns DAO can be considered, such as:
We believe that Nouns DAO can become an icon of public good in Web3.
To develop high-quality software as a team, establishing refined coding standards and a robust system for writing tests is essential. We have created team development rules, including developing custom ESLint modules.
In 2022, we established a development team base in Hanoi, Vietnam, enabling us to provide high-quality software at a relatively low cost.
Additionally, we have published educational materials, such as creating courses for Solidity in Japanese (solidity-training-webinar, solidity-bootcamp, solidity-training).
We have also participated in multiple IRL events in Japan and abroad.
Some people might think this proposal isn't directly related to NounsDAO.
However, releasing widely-used public good services from NounsDAO can enhance NounsDAO's reputation in the Ethereum-centered crypto community.
Through our activities in NounsDAO, we've realized that we aren't just a DAO promoting the Nouns character and Noggles, but we are naturally supporting technological advancements and socially good causes centered around Ethereum.
So far, tech proposals have primarily focused on products for internal use within NounsDAO (and this infrastructure building is indeed important), but expanding NounsDAO's recognition through public good services that external users can also utilize can also be considered Nounish.
We, eguegu.eth and jiji.eth, are submitting our first proposal since joining NounsDAO.
Over the past year, we have mainly contributed to NounsDAO through information dissemination and community education. However, as developers, we are increasingly eager to contribute by creating tangible products.
Leveraging our experience in running educational platforms, we aim to develop external public good products to shape onchain personas in the educational field.
With a genuine desire to create something beneficial for everyone, we hope to launch this service with sponsorship from NounsDAO ⌐◨-◨.
Based on the exchange rate of 1 ETH = $3,475 on June 15, 2024, we are requesting 40 ETH for $139,000.
