🚀 Building The Future of Collaboration

Organizations often struggle because software is either too monolithic or too fragmented. In this article, RnDAO shares a vision for a different approach: a modular ecosystem where small, autonomous teams collaborate efficiently using tools that integrate seamlessly. It explains why current solutions fail and how a networked, swarm-based approach could change the way we work.

Read the full article here to see how we’re approaching this challenge.

💡 Updates from RnDAO Ventures

Negation Game

Negation Game received $145k in funding from Scroll DAO for research and product development on Carroll Mechanisms. Details can be found here.

The team also completed the first half of the milestones for the Scroll Negation Game grant, which included implementing rationale deltas, proposal generation based on overlapping values alignment between delegates, and embedding Negation Game directly in Discourse proposals—unlocking the second $7.5k grant.

They are now beginning a complete redesign of the rationale creation experience to make it multiplayer and much more lightweight, aiming to drive user engagement and support facilitated sensemaking sessions.

Fair AI

Logo Refresh

Last week, Fair AI shared that they were refreshing their logo to better reflect their focus on innovation and credibility, while staying true to their long-term direction. They are excited to announce that the update is now live on their website.

CONTRIBO

Progress from Last Week

Contribo completed a first prototype of the gig workflow, which will be ready to share soon.

They continued conversations with a potential co-founder who experienced the pain of not being able to find web3 developers from his agency perspective, and agreed on weekly meetings with the team.

The team also created a few sketches of videos that will follow gig publication, aimed at inviting more developers.
