Decentralized Startup Swarm
With TribeDAO, you will receive a fair share of the ownership of the project you are building, backed with cryptographic smart contracts. This way you can trust each vote on Tribehouse even if the leadership changes, the community will still rule. Your contributions are engraved in stone for eternity written on ethereum-blockchain.
For your continuous contributions, the TribeDAO will award you TribeGold ($TRBG). TribeGold can be spent on special NFT cards that you can use to trigger certain events in Tribehouse (leader voting, reclaim abandoned project etc). The initial amount of TribeGold received is your ownership of the project (regardless of how much $TRBG you sold or spent on cards).
