What is Worldland and Worldland DAO?

We hereby intend to discuss the areas of general interest the Worldland DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization, referred to as The DAO here after) solicits for project proposals aiming to improve the Worldland ecosystem.

Worldland™ is a layer 2 protocol for the Ethereum network. This means that

1. Worldland virtual machine is the same as the Ethereum virtual machine.

2. Worldland aims to attain heightened security by periodically reporting block hashes to the Ethereum mainnet. The hash reporting is accepted by the Worldland checkpoint, a smart contract deployed to the Ethereum main network.

The Worldland mainnet was launched on August 8th, 2023. It was developed by my team at GIST (https://www.gist.ac.kr, also see https://heungno.net) with the following innovations:

1. Verifiable Computation Algorithm

2. Post-Quantum Cryptography

One can learn more about Worldland by visiting its project web-site.

What are the general areas of interest of the DAO?

Worldland ecosystem is made of contributors with various talents and backgrounds, including code developers, node operators, wallet holders, educators, mainnet developers, dApp developers, influencers, and marketers. Useful dApps would include decentralized finance, non-fungible tokens, gaming and metaverse, and decentralized autonomous organizations. Other dApps gaining popularity in South Korea include supply chain management, decentralized identification, real estate and asset tokenization, healthcare applications, voting and governance systems, and energy trading.

Worldland DAO is composed of people who share the vision of Worldland. Worldland DAO is looking for new ideas to improve the Worldland ecosystem. To this unique purpose, Worldland DAO has its ECO Fund established.

What is the produdure for proposal submission, evaluation and funding?

The DAO will accept Worldland improvement proposals and evaluate them for awarding grants. The DAO will form a committee to evaluate the proposals. A portion of the DAO’s ECO Fund will be granted to each selected entity. Upon selection as a grant awardee, the proposer will be given WLCs. The proposer then carries out the proposed plan within the project period.

To apply for a ECO Fund grant, a proposer needs to submit a proposal to the Worldland DAO within the announced time framework for each round. Please use the proposal format given at the top of this article.

Worldland ecosystem can, we believe, be significantly bolstered by educators, code developers and academic researchers from various backgrounds each contributing in different directions. Contributions can also be made via education and reaching out to the global communities, all these for the purpose of Worldland ecosystem improvement and growth.

What areas of contributions would be encouraged for the Worldland ecosystem?

Here are some of the areas into which our investment of the Worldland Eco Fund could make a substantial impact:

1. Strengthening the Node Network: Enhancing the efficiency and global distribution of Worldland nodes is vital. Investment in this area could lead to a more secure, decentralized network. Project teams supporting such initiatives could help in scaling the network, enhancing the verifiable computation algorithms, ensuring robust transaction processing and block verifications.
2. Optimizing Computing Resources: Investment in optimizing computing resources and new algorithmic developments like GPU usage can significantly benefit tasks essential to Worldland network security. It includes GPU mining, new off-chain zero-knowledge proof computations, zero-knowledge roll-offs, and advanced features supporting the My AI Network™.
3. Innovative Wallet Development: Creating secure and user-friendly new wallet solutions for Worldland can improve user experience and security. Investments in a wallet development project could lead to innovations in blockchain interactions and asset management.
4. NFT and Play-to-Earn (P2E) Projects: With the rising trend of NFTs and P2E models, investment in these areas can foster unique opportunities within the Worldland ecosystem. This includes the development of new platforms and interactive experiences leveraging NFTs and gaming.
5. Enhancing My AI Network™: Investment in expanding and improving the My AI Network within Worldland, including generative AI algorithm enhancements and application integrations, could lead to more advanced and efficient blockchain operations.
6. Educational and Research Projects: Funding educational initiatives and research projects can help in spreading awareness about Worldland’s technology and potential applications. This includes supporting workshops, online courses, and collaborative research on emerging blockchain technologies.
7. Marketing and Community Outreach: Investing in marketing strategies and community engagement programs can significantly boost Worldland’s visibility and user adoption. This might involve global blockchain events, partnerships, and promotional campaigns.
8. Advancing Ecosystem Scalability and Security: Investment in projects aimed at enhancing the scalability and security of the Worldland platform can address critical aspects of the blockchain trilemma. This includes the implementation of advanced cryptographic methods and consensus algorithms.

Conclusion

In summary, the involvement of various contributors in the Worldland ecosystem can play a pivotal role in its growth and development. Their investments, particularly in strategic areas like node network enhancement, AI development, post-quantum cryptography, new zero-knowledge proofs, and ecosystem scalability, can propel Worldland towards achieving its goals of decentralization, security, and scalability, while simultaneously rewarding them with its native digital asset, WLCs.
