Hello, My name is Marcus, I come from a R&D Focused DAO in public goods: LXDAO
LXDAO is an R&D-focused DAO， A solution for supporting valuable Web3 Public Goods and Open Source sustainably.
I’ve been in the Optimism community for a long time, and I’ve been following the Critizen House and Public Goods, LXDAO is interested in becoming a member of the Critizen House. We’ve seen a lot of teams working to create a more inclusive community through the creation of impactful public goods, and there are a lot of builders in the Optimism ecosystem that are working hard to promote Optimism. Efforts
Retroactive public goods funding is beneficial because it’s relatively easy to agree on what is useful and see who built it. It’s much harder to determine what is useful in advance, and which team can best build it
At Optimism, there are public goods builders from all over the world who are not working on building a sustainable future for Ethereum, from Ethereum Mexico, [Peru]([DRAFT] Optimism's tour of universities in Peru 1), as well as from developed countries such as the United States.
Unfortunately, there is one thing I didn’t find at Optimism, and that’s the attention Optimism pays to East Asian developers and those in the Chinese community. Of course, even if there is no attention, the Chinese community is still contributing greatly to the Web3 public goods space!
Chinese community contributor still love public goods
The Chinese community still has a lot to contribute when it comes to building public goods. Take open-source goods as an example, according to the 2022 China Open Source Contributions Report, the following key indicators are mentioned
- Chinese open-source contributors account for 9.5% of the world’s
- Chinese developer-led open-source projects accounted for 12.5% of the world’s
- Top 50 global companies contributing to open source, 20% in China
Chinese public goods developers, open source products have been a force to be reckoned with
Vitalik’s comments at the end of RetroPGF’s first installment also cited a public good developed by the Chinese-speaking Ethereum community: ethereum.cn This is an excellent Chinese-speaking Ethereum community project (though not the only one! See also EthPlanet), which has been providing a large number of resources in Chinese for people to learn about Ether, including translations of many highly technical articles written by members of the Ether community and about Ether originally in English.
Including vitalik also mentioned the possibility of adding a diversity of voices to the Optimism citizen house badge, suggesting that some members of the Ethereum Chinese community be added as badge holders
Strengthening the voice of public goods builders in the Chinese community
As far as I know, there are a lot of people contributing to public goods in the Chinese community, and a lot of public goods developers in the Chinese community need Optimism’s support.
How LXDAO contributes to the sustainable development of public goods
LXDAO, as an R&D-focused DAO, will support the sustainability of public goods as our key goal. We currently have 236 registered members, most of whom are from China, and we also have many communities in New Zealand, Singapore, Paris, etc. We have also created many public goods, and in the past year, LXDAO created more than 10 public goods through decentralization. In the past year, LXDAO has created more than 10 public goods through decentralized operations in areas such as education, development, community, etc. These public goods have made an impact on the entire Ethereum community and we will support public goods and build a sustainable future for Ethereum from the following perspectives
DAO Governance and Construction: We promote governance models and technology construction for decentralized autonomous organizations.
Web3 Education: We are committed to promoting Web3 technologies and concepts and fostering more Web3 builders.
Public Goods and Open Source Project Support: We provide financial and human support to help the sustainable development of public goods.
LXDAO also recently applied for RetroPGF Phase III and will continue to build for public goods
As a member of the Optimism community, as well as a member of the Chinese community and a public goods builder, I hope to communicate with you all to build a sustainable future for optimism!
