This repository contains the starter code for the DAO Adventure project. You are required to complete the code across all 7 chapters.
Welcome to the DAO Adventure a course designed to teach you how to create a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) from scratch on the Internet Computer platform, with the Motoko programming language.
DAOs are a major innovation, changing governance. Just like the steam engine made the Industrial Revolution possible by harnessing physical power, DAOs harness political power and make a Web3 revolution possible. This could fundamentally change how we organize society and resources, with the end goal of creating a more stable, flourishing and collaborative civilization.
This future is only possible if enough builders learn how to harness the power of DAOs. That's why your goal, if you wish to earn your Motoko Bootcamp Diploma, is to build a DAO.
To follow this course, register on the Submission website.
