Note: If you are here for the first time, make sure to read our introductory post about the ShineDAO — https://shine-squad.medium.com/prepare-yourself-for-a-new-way-to-do-crypto-incubations-5d0554c719cb

Hello there dear Shiner, if you already joined or wish to join our DAO you probably want to do so because of the following benefits:

🙉 Early Access (invest in, and contribute to, the hottest DeFi projects on the market at their earliest stages)

🤝 Serious projects with committed teams — avoid scams and find hidden gems with great growth potential

🔮 Co-creating the future of finance and shaping the DeFi landscape and getting hell of a kick from it

🌻 Develop, grow, collaborate in a network of likeminded people — have fun and gain both knowledge and make returns in the process

ShineDAO is here to make ideas truly Shine, however, we are just at the start of our journey and to make that dream a reality we need YOU and your contribution — this document presents the ShineDAO principles in order to reach our Shine vision. This vision is to create a DAO in intended form and to facilitate decentralized development power as well as to spur different initiatives within the community. We believe it is critical that every DAO member participates as motivated as possible as an example of what can be done in world’s first decentralized incubators for early stage blockchain teams.

The guiding principles of every ShineDAO member are:

  • Initiative — At ShineDAO we believe that drive is a key factor for success. ​ We strive to take the things into our own hands without being given a direction or orders. Self initiative and pursuing a concrete direction is a key factor for ShineDAO success. We believe that perfect is the enemy of good. We are strong believers in the execution always wins against theorizing (but theorizing and then executing is the best). So if you have an idea how to do something, don't just say it. If you want to change a picture on our website, instead of saying it, better thing is to create a new picture and then propose it yourself.
  • Organization — We believe in incentivized initiatives and execution — the ShineDAO organizational structure rewards initiatives as well as the efficient implementation of such initiatives “A disorderly mob is no more an army than a heap of building materials is a house” — Socrates
  • Innovation — ShineDAO ventures to go where no man has gone, to sail unchartered territories and change the status quo of modern finance.
  • Empowerment — We believe in empowering the individual and reward initiatives and encourage self-development and experimentation. If you are strongly convinced about something the easiest way to get others on board is to start the first steps yourself. And then get the others on board too!
  • Courage — United we have the strength to challenge incumbent ideas and structures, where there is a will, there is a way. ​​​We have willingness to do the things that matter. Even if those things represent a substantial challenge. Join us!
  • Collaboration — Building or learning things alone and isolation is not fun at all. Not only your impact is minuscule but your learnings are not reaching their fullest potential. We believe that together we can make things bigger than ourselves and have fun while doing so.

Use Guiding Principles for Decision Criteria — We don't believe in hierarchies and giving orders — we believe in a shared vision and a structure that rewards the individuals contributions. We expect YOU dear reader to create your own individual initiatives with different beneficial actions that will benefit our whole DAO collective and we reward YOU for that. ShineDAO recognizes genius, creativity and energy of the every individual DAO member and wishes to utilize it as empowerment through the clarity of these foundational pillars. We envision a system where people where people can take initiative, create, collaborate and contribute and get rewarded for it.
