GOAL OF PROJECT:

Build a gather.town metaverse for KH members to congregate and engage in community events.

What is gather.town? Centered around fully customizable digital spaces, Gather makes spending time with communities just as easy as real life by allowing users to navigate community maps with their digital avatars.

WHY THIS MATTERS:

Krause House is a globally distributed DAO and thrives off of the collective enthusiasm and passion for basketball. Creating our own metaverse will enable the large community to feel smaller than it really is, a strength of any strong community. Furthermore, as we continue towards our path of buying an NBA team, growing a digitally-engaged community will be an advantage for our group.

HOW THIS WILL BE DONE:

• We will be contracting an experienced Gather.Town mapmaker to customize a basketball themed space

We will be creating a gather.town environment that will enable the following:

• Members will be able to collectively participate in Onboarding Draft Classes
• Watch live streamed games or highlight reels together
• Place predictions on the games to win prizes and/or “status tokens”
• Meet n greet with community members
• Meet n greet with guest speakers
• Purchase KH merch sales in a metaverse kiosk
• Creating activities that both individuals and groups can engage in within the metaverse autonomously
  • ex. a treasure hunt

Bonus:

• Members will be able to self-onboard to KH DAO based on designed knowledge quests & tasks before joining a project

Quick Draft of Potential Rooms (create a floor plan / figma to share with pixel artist)

• Map will be a Krause House Stadium

  • Court + Arena
  • A potential layout below:

• At one end of the stadium there is 2 Boardrooms for conferences

  • For Town Halls and Team Meetings

• Additionally, there will be a Film Room for “viewing parties” to stream games

• Merch kiosk room or NFT’s

• Onboarding Room - a custom room where ppl can engage with items to learn more

  • Members will be able to self-onboard to KH DAO based on designed knowledge quests & tasks before joining a project

• Press Room - where AMAs will exist + Group onboarding

• Multiple small rooms for people to play, meet n greet in

FUNDING DETAILS:

We will be sending USDC to the gather.town map maker to the nominated wallet of their choice.
