FAQ


WHAT IS DAOCADE?

DAOcade is a collective of individuals attempting to use the blockchain to win a
classic video game together. Members purchase button NFTs that they can use to
vote on every move in the DAOcade Discord. It's a decentralized autonomous
organization, which means it's both cutting edge and good.


WHY PLAY VIDEO GAMES WITH A DAO?

For decades, the only way for multiple people to play a video game at the same
time was to physically share the controller. This had profound impacts on both
scalability and liquidity. Now, inspired by the Web2 classic Twitch Plays
Pokemon, we're using the incredible power of Web3 to combine the joy of video
games with the speed of the blockchain and the thrill of decentralized
governance.


CAN IT GO FASTER?

In order to assure a democratic, trustless voting process, each button press
must be voted upon, tallied, saved to distributed storage, and then saved on the
blockchain. This necessarily takes anywhere from 10 to 50 seconds, depending on
network traffic and gas prices. This may seem slow compared to the centralized,
fiat-derived video games of the past, but it's a small price to pay for
democracy.


DO I HAVE TO PAY TO VOTE?

No. Once you mint a button, there is no further cost. The DAOcade governance
board pays all gas fees for voting. The buttons are priced to cover these costs.


CAN THE DAO VOTE ON OTHER THINGS, LIKE LEADERSHIP?

Currently voting is limited to button presses only. The DAOcade governance board
may choose to put more matters up to a vote in the future.


TECH SPECS


BUTTONS

Buttons are ERC1155 tokens living on the Ethereum blockchain with metadata
stored on-chain and images distributed on IPFS. Supply is limited to 1000 tokens
per button.


VOTING

Voting takes place in the DAOcade Discord. Members must prove proof of button
token ownership to be able to vote. Members can vote one time per voting
session. They can only vote for a button they own.


VOTING RESULTS

Tabulation of votes occurs off-chain with the full tally of each vote signed and
distributed on IPFS. The final result of each vote is entered into a smart
contract on the Polygon blockchain. The official DAOcade stream of the game
responds to votes verified by this contract. Anyone can emulate the game by
following along with the events emitted by this contract.
