Project details

Project Fight Club - Aligning DAOs with Traditional Brick & Mortar Business

Team Fight Club created a lending facility and market creation tool with a built in model for DAO monetization.

"Prediction markets (information markets, decision markets, idea futures or event derivatives) are open markets where specific outcomes can be predicted using financial incentives." - Wikipedia

Fight Club prediction markets can include:

  • Debates

  • Esports

  • Charity Events

  • And more

HOW DO DAOS MAKE MONEY TODAY?

We interviewed dozens of DAO members and leaders about how they earn revenue and what their struggles are. Many DAOs today are lead by volunteers and make little revenue. Some DAOs are more focused on revenue and want to earn with their Treasury and grow their products in new markets. In order to earn from treasury, DAOs need qualified borrowers and simple tools to manage lending and production of value.

DOAs Can Lend to Qualified Brick and Mortar Businesses!

Partnering with businesses that know how to be profitable is a great first step. In our project the lending facility is available for Event Producers. Events and Entertainment are profitable areas of the global economy, and often these businesses produce digital goods like video and media. They also produce the groundwork for Prediction Markets. The next cycle in web3 growth and is already happening. Entertainment combined with market-making results in some of the most consumed content in human history. Spectator Sports, Awards Shows, Charity Events, Etc.

WHAT DOES LENDING AND REVENUE GENERATION LOOK LIKE FOR DAOS AND BUSINESS?

  • We use the HUMA.Finance protocol to initialize our pool with the purpose of lending to Businesses that are aligned with our mission.

  • When the pool is funded, qualified and whitelisted event producers can borrow at defined terms.

  • Additionally, for events with prediction markets, the dApp borrows from the pool to create initial liquidity.

When markets resolve:

  • Borrowed funds are returned to the DAO pool.

  • Fight club prediction markets are closed.

  • Winning positions receive the staked collateral of the losing position.
