DAOs are hiring. Decentralized Autonomous Organizations.
Take everything you love about owning your own company, without all of the downsides of owning your own company.
DAOs are always looking for help with tasks. Maybe they need PR help to write a newsletter that goes to its members. Maybe they need some spreadsheeting work to figure out answers to questions. Maybe they need coding work to add this button on their webapp's UI, or a smart contract to handle this decentralized transaction type. Or maybe they need someone to write a proposal to get funding for a project. Whether you write, you crunch numbers, you code, or you advertise - there are plenty of tasks to be done for DAOs instead of companies.
With a DAO, you clock in when you want. You see what they need at the time and complete the task to earn one or more tokens. If you don't like their tokens then you can ask to receive a USD-denominated token instead which you can swap 1:1 for real USD in your bank account tomorrow.
The more you work, the more you make.
It's like "gig work" à la Uber or GrubHub but without the middleman company taking way too much of your money.
You don't have to deal with "that guy down the hall who barely does any work but reaps the same salary as everyone else"
And you don't have to worry about being that guy who goes above-and-beyond by producing 2x more than everyone else only to earn the same pay.
A pure meritocracy. Those who produce get paid. Period.
ShapeShift DAO is always looking for folks to help, but we are just one DAO. There are hundreds building many things.
Want to work on a decentralized VPN that doesn't rely on a company? There's a DAO for that.
Want to work on a decentralized exchange that can't be shut down? There's plenty of DAOs for that.
Want to save trees? Build privacy apps? Help bring cannabis to those who need it? There are DAOs for those too.
Find your passion and work on it on your own terms.
