Tech Roadmap

As part of the 2nd long range plan that we presented in March, we presented our tech roadmap with 5 products that we plan to build throughout the rest of the year. This is a work in progress and could change over time, but the current products and platforms include…

• Marketplace (Q2): Rug Radio branded marketplace with the features such as buying in ETH and $RUG as well as social tools

• Learn 2 Earn (Q2): Learning Management System with curated courses for educational and entertainment content

• DAO Management (Q2/Q3): A DAO Management platform that acts as a one stop shop for submitting proposals, discussion of proposals, and voting

• Creator Portal (Q2/Q3): Creator Portal for all of our creators to update their information, aggregate stats, and get access to all of our tools

• Core Content App (Q3/Q4): A platform that allows for discoverability and aggregation of ALL Rug Radio content

Rug Radio Vibes in Austin

In partnership with Metaversal, we’ll be hosting a Rug Radio holders only event during Consensus on Friday, April 28th at 8pm at The Speakeasy in Austin, TX.

There are 150 tickets available to Rug Radio holders - including holders of a membership pass, Genesis NFT, or Faces of Web3 PFP. If you’re gonna be a town, enter the raffle on Tokenproof for the opportunity to win a ticket!

New DAO Proposals

• Expanding $RDAO claim conversion to the wider ecosystem

  • About: This proposal aims to address the issue of limited access to the $RUG to $RDAO conversion process, which currently excludes certain Rug Radio community members who cannot afford the higher-priced Genesis Rug NFTs.

  • Goal: By expanding conversion access to holders of Membership Passes and Cory Van Lew Faces of Web 3 PFP NFTs, we hope to foster a more inclusive and diverse community in the Rug Radio DAO.

• Incentivizing Engagement and DAO Growth

  • About: This proposal seeks to allocate 180,000 $RUG tokens from the Rug DAO Treasury for acquiring 100 $RDAO tokens. These tokens will be strategically distributed among highly engaged Web 3 developers, founders, builders, and artists during the NFT Lisbon conference.

  • Goal: Stimulate the Rug Radio DAO with fresh ideas, new perspectives, and increased engagement from industry leaders and community members.

• Enhancing Genesis NFT Utility

  • About: This proposal aims to provide additional incentives for long-term holders and collectors of Rug Radio Genesis NFTs, beyond the token yield period.

  • Goal: By rewarding complete set holders with lifetime utility and exclusive access to a dedicated Discord channel, we intend to foster a deeper collector mindset, encourage trading, and strengthen community engagement.

• Small Grants Committee Creation

  • About: The formation of the Rug Radio Small Grants Committee provides another funding avenue for DAO participants to have their ideas funded.

  • Goal: Attract great talents and skilled builders to benefit the Rug Radio Ecosystem.
