So we aim to build something fair for all, something that will survive our grandchildren's children. Won't be easy. But we do have a plan and passion. . Below are the upcoming highlights planned for 2022 (updated: April-2022) On boardings process: Check here what we already did this year:
GOAL: Provide the community with a solid infrastructure and proper incentives/rewards for contribution. This is the moment in time that we enable the community to build and earn. Efforts will be taken in the following areas:
Community Involvement
Platform upgrades
Discord and bot upgrades
Education content
Decentralized control
Legal/Tax Challenges
Each period has built-in stops/go's. Thanks to the governance via the DAO, the Koios community will have a voice. The NFTs will provide the face. The community of Titans will learn how to talk and will decide what the future or learning holds for Koios. Because we aim to be as fully open as possible, and all members can join and contribute, we are never sure what the community will create next decade.
We can't wait to hear them !
Aim: to work towards a fully community-owned environment, eventually accepted within legal frameworks of the future. Currently, the community gains increasing control but has no legal grounding in Dutch legislation. Communities can have a legal grounding in other countries, as DAOs are accepted globally in legal frameworks. However, since we started from the international city of peace and justice (The Hague), we would like to pioneer from the Netherlands first. So we created a Foundation called Stichting KoiosDAO. It ordered the $TITAN token launch and the Titan NFT launch (as was advised by legal consultants). But the Foundation doesn't do any activities and holds no tokens. So it has no active control. It is also free of Taxes (confirmed by IRS).
This is extremely interesting from a legal perspective but very uncertain territory. Therefore, we move slowly and engage with legislators and consultants before any significant moves are made. However, to keep innovating and learning, we will launch small experiments to test and learn. And contact specialists and partners. Then, we build from there, together. Reward: 100 titan
Koios could become self-sustainable if we launched a freely transferable token. But we are not sure if this is allowed atm. Hence we launched a non-transferable token (Q4-2021). It acts as governance tokens and proves contributions and a reputation that cannot be bought. Still, it limits funding. So a secondary, liquid token could help (for which we currently use the innate Discord XP points). They are freely tradeable, so you instantly connect to decentralized applications, cryptocurrencies, and other open-source initiatives. You can build on the shoulders of giants, opening up a world of innovation and experimentation. In a shared open-source testing environment, innovation is directly applied to learning and education, combatting learning about fast-moving topics.
However, setting up a freely tradable cryptocurrency from the Netherlands opens a legal black box because laws and regulations are not yet known. Many founders, therefore, moved abroad where more certainty is offered in legal frameworks. This is not hard due to the digital character of these projects (no physical location and some don't have central coordination). However, we have the intention to set up this innovation together with the knowledge institutions, involved parties, and the government in the educational ecosystem. The Hague, the city of governance with international peace and justice, origin of a worldwide public/public education network. A unique opportunity in our era we should not let go to waste.
The community has also started working with NFTs (digital images on the internet that you can claim ownership of via the blockchain). You can buy these NFTs as a user by exchanging your Titan Token for an NFT Token (with an image of a Titan). In addition, users may be able to sell these NFTs through the secondary market. We have the NFT as one of the use cases of the Titan Token and mainly intended to create bonding between community members. However, we launch only a minimal amount of Titan NFTs because we are unsure about distribution mechanisms or possible legal implications.
We aim to give students a blockchain badge who complete a minor. So if you have passed ECT, you will receive a certificate (NFT picture + Metadata with the name of the course and period, etc.). It should be GDPR-proof because personal data is not included. But the blockchain is immutable and pseudo-anonymous: the badges are non-transferable and traceable if people know your public key.
More parties will place different course materials. Registration under a common license must remain neutral and allow other entities to join content sharing initiatives (a requirement for ecosystem learning).
Various community members also want to donate cryptocurrencies, possibly to Koios itself and possibly to partner projects that focus on Education or, for example, replanting the earth. Technically this is easy to set up, but the legal consequences are unknown. For example, do donations fall under the Foundation (if so, what do you do for tax purposes).
Students are learning via the platform and communicating via Discord. They are also earning different cryptocurrencies as rewards. However, we are unsure how to disclaim the use of this all and how to record the license.

Integrate earn possibilities in Blockchain Minor. (in progress, lead: Kidsune) Examples: * Rabbithole * Questbook.app for learning web3 development skills. As students complete quests, they earn NFT and cryptocurrency. * Layer3 for "doing sh*t" and get rewarded with crypto. It is similar to an early version of Fiverr where members pitch what they would do for cryptocurrency. * Zapper.fi for getting started with DeFi. Users to take "quests" by depositing funds, transfer funds, and learning Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols. Participants earn "voltage" and NFTs. * 1729 for pulling forward the future web3 world. It is a newsletter that incentivizes readers to take action on everything from gathering information - such as nuclear policies of every EU country - to learning Solidarity to build smart contracts on the Etherum blockchain. Action is rewarded with cryptocurrency. * Reward: 100 titan
