1. Lead Entity & Vision: This proposal is presented by the Planetary Public Good Network, a pioneering consortium initiative dedicated to establishing Cardano as the secure, foundational infrastructure for a global network supporting the future of decentralized public goods. Our mission is to facilitate the creation, incubation, and acceleration of impactful public goods worldwide.

• We are building the Planetary Public Good DAO Framework – a synergistic integration of DAO operational methodology, advanced Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) Agents, and the interactive AGI Avatar Phygital Interface.
• This framework is envisioned as the ultimate and first Planetary Public Good delivered by this consortium, aiming to usher in a New Era of intelligent, effective, transparent, and sustainable decentralized organization, powered by real-time AGI insights derived from opt-in governance information provided transparently by participating DAOs (facilitated via DOB Protocol infrastructure). We strive for this framework to become the globally recognized benchmark for all DAOs seeking high performance and impact.

2. Founding Partners & Roles: The DAO launches with a powerhouse consortium of founding partners, each bringing unique expertise and serving as crucial testbeds, committed to collaborating on Cardano's DAO infrastructure (initially Clarity Protocol):

2.1. ChileDAO: ChileDAO: A vibrant, established national Web3 hub acting as a crucial bridge between diverse blockchain ecosystems (Cardano, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Chainlink, Avalanche, Stellar, Polkadot, Internet Computer (ICP), Mantle, Worldcoin, etc), academia and educational institutions, industry (Cámara Blockchain, FinteChile members), and a large community (>30 core members, >400 network). Committed to migrating its operations and onboarding representatives from its 30+ associated projects onto Cardano DAOs, ChileDAO serves as a complex, real-world testbed for AGI managing national-level coordination, ecosystem mapping, and acting as a rich talent pool for the consortium.

2.2. DOB Protocol: A cutting-edge research and development entity focused on the intersection of AI, blockchain, and real-world systems. With an operational Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) financing platform in Chile and Peru, and published, peer-reviewed research on Decentralized Autonomous Machines (DAMs) (arXiv:2504.15676, IEEE ICBC 2025), DOB Protocol leads the R&D for the consortium's AGI Agent (based on their DOBI agent) and spearheads explorations into applying DAM/DePIN concepts to enhance DAO capabilities for managing Governance Data, Real World Assets (RWA), DeFi Contracts, and critical infrastructure on Cardano.

2.3. Cooperativa Local: A Chilean organization with deep expertise (since 2021) in Web3 adoption, community building within the cultural and creative sectors (backed by Start-Up Chile, Catalyst), and specifically in Cardano DAO incubation/acceleration (proven F11 program). Cooperativa Local provides the essential onboarding framework for all partners onto Cardano DAO platforms, manages the consortium's operations, coordinates the AGI Avatar Phygital Interface Focus Group, manages creative asset licensing, and runs the Planetary Public Good DAO's Public Program for global outreach.

2.4. Cardano Confederation and/or other groups active on governance: promoting principle-based networks comprising experienced of Cardano Community Members and Delegated Representatives (DReps) and active governance participants such as Intersect working groups or Community Hubs. Facilitating governance actions with ethics and transparency, the Confederation and other communities such as Intersect Hubs will provide invaluable insights to our focused on AGI Cardano's governance needs, serving as a pilot group for testing AGI tools designed to enhance DRep efficiency and members' governance (e.g., proposal summarization, sentiment analysis), and ensures the consortium's outputs remain aligned with Cardano's core values and community interests.

2.5. IME DAO: A unique Decentralized Autonomous Organization formed by Chile's union of electronic music workers (~200 members, ~60 active on Cardano/Clarity). Incubated and Accelerated by Cooperativa Local, IME DAO demonstrates the practical application of DAOs in the complex cultural sector by producing Chile's first decentralized music and technology festival, IME Link (June 21-22, 2025, Santiago de Chile). This provides a high-visibility, mass-audience showcase for the AGI Agent and the AGI Avatar Phygital Interface in action.

3. Core Public Good Deliverables: This proposal focuses the consortium's initial efforts on the intensive R&D, refinement, and launch of three core, interconnected Planetary Public Goods:

3.1. The Planetary Public Good DAO Framework (Ultimate & First Public Good): The overarching methodology, best practices, governance templates, and operational models for creating and running effective, AI-enhanced public good DAOs.

3.2. The AGI Agent for DAOs (Second Public Good): The adaptable AI software layer providing contextual intelligence and operational support to DAOs.

3.3. The AGI Avatar Phygital Interface (Third Public Good): The novel, interactive, and sustainable visual front-end for engaging with the AGI Agent and the DAO ecosystem.

4. Multichain Vision, Cardano Core: The framework, AGI Agent support layer, and AGI Avatar Phygital Interface are designed with multichain compatibility in mind (licensable), enabling broad adoption. However, the core Planetary Public Good DAO infrastructure, critical governance data security, core AGI processing logic, and primary value anchoring will remain based on Cardano, leveraging its unparalleled security, research foundation, and governance capabilities.

5. Eligibility & Gov Alignment: This initiative's scale, strategic R&D focus (AGI, DAM, DePIN), ecosystem-building scope, and alignment with Voltaire make it fundamentally suited for the Cardano Budget Process. It addresses needs unmet by Project Catalyst, particularly the lack of suitable funding mechanisms for intensive, tailored R&D support for emerging public good DAOs without large pre-existing revenues.

6. Budget & Treasury: Estimated cost: $370,000 USD (731,080 ADA) @ $0.5061 USD/ADA (S3 Support-3 based on Tradingview technical report of April-24). Funds will be managed with full transparency in the Planetary Public Good DAO's Treasury (Clarity Protocol), including publicly published monthly expenditure reports. Responsible spending is a core principle.

This proposal directly confronts a critical constellation of interconnected problems hindering the realization of Cardano's potential as a global platform for decentralized collaboration, governance, and real-world impact. Despite the promise of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), their widespread adoption and effectiveness are significantly hampered by fundamental challenges:

1. Prohibitive DAO Complexity & Usability Barriers: Launching, managing, and participating effectively in DAOs remains excessively complex for the vast majority of potential users and organizations.

1.1. Steep Learning Curve: Onboarding requires significant technical literacy and time investment to understand governance mechanics, token interactions, and platform tools. This was a key challenge identified in Cooperativa Local's 2024 Cardano DAO Incubator, limiting participation primarily to technically adept individuals.

1.2. Operational Inefficiency: DAOs struggle with coordinating tasks, managing diverse communication channels (Discord, forums, etc.), tracking contributions fairly, and executing decisions efficiently without centralized overhead or sophisticated tooling.

1.3. Information Overload: As DAOs scale, members (and representatives like Cardano's DReps) face an overwhelming volume of proposals, discussions, and data, making informed participation and effective governance extremely difficult.

1.4. Unengaging Interfaces: Current DAO interaction primarily relies on functional but often unintuitive dashboards and text-based chat interfaces. These fail to capture the engagement of diverse users, especially those from creative or non-technical backgrounds, and lack the capacity for nuanced, context-aware interaction.

2. Ecosystem Fragmentation and Siloed Collaboration: The broader blockchain space, including Cardano's ecosystem, often operates in silos. National communities (like the diverse Web3 scene in Chile before ChileDAO's efforts) lack unified platforms for collaboration, leading to duplicated efforts and missed opportunities. This fragmentation extends globally, preventing synergistic development and knowledge sharing between regional hubs or different blockchain communities.

3. Difficulty Demonstrating Tangible Real-World Value: Communicating the practical benefits and transformative potential of blockchain and DAOs beyond niche Decentralized Finance (DeFi) applications remains a major hurdle. It is difficult to showcase compelling, relatable use cases that resonate with mainstream audiences, businesses, and traditional institutions, limiting broader adoption and understanding of Cardano's capabilities. Projects like IME DAO's ambitious decentralized festival face challenges in articulating their innovative model effectively.

4. The AI Integration Gap in Governance: While Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds immense potential to augment DAO capabilities, its integration into governance and operations is nascent and largely theoretical. There's a lack of:

4.1. Practical Frameworks: Methodologies for safely and effectively embedding AI into DAO decision-making loops are underdeveloped.

4.2. Tailored AI Tools: Generic AI models lack the specific contextual understanding of individual DAO goals, history, culture, and operational needs required for truly useful assistance.

4.3. Ethical Considerations: Frameworks for ensuring AI use in DAOs is transparent, accountable, and aligned with community values are missing.

5. Bridging Advanced Concepts (DAM/DePIN) to Practice: Cutting-edge concepts like Decentralized Autonomous Machines (DAMs) – AI-driven entities managing real-world assets via Internet of Things (IoT) and blockchain – and Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) offer powerful future possibilities. However, translating this academic research (like DOB Protocol's foundational paper) into practical applications within DAOs requires dedicated R&D, integration pathways, and real-world testbeds, which are currently scarce. DAOs lack the tools to easily interact with or govern RWA or DePIN infrastructure.

6. Funding & Sustainability Mismatch for Public Goods: Emerging DAOs focused on public goods, cultural initiatives (like IME DAO), or national ecosystem building (like ChileDAO) often lack substantial revenue streams. They require intensive, bespoke R&D support (e.g., for customized AI integration) that doesn't fit neatly into traditional venture capital or product-focused grant programs like Project Catalyst's recent partner challenges, creating a critical funding gap for foundational ecosystem development. Furthermore, sustainable operational models for such DAOs are needed beyond initial grants.

7. Scalability Challenges in Decentralized Governance (incl. Cardano's): As decentralized networks grow, ensuring effective, scalable governance becomes paramount. Cardano's own system, while pioneering, faces challenges related to DRep engagement, information processing for informed voting, and efficient coordination across committees and working groups. There is a need for innovative tools and potentially new models to support the Voltaire era's goals.

8. Regional Underrepresentation & Lack of Tailored Support: Key regions like Latin America and Africa, despite significant user interest and potential, remain underrepresented in Cardano governance metrics with less than 5% of de dRep voting power based on tenpo.vote reports / and may lack ecosystem support initiatives tailored to their specific cultural, linguistic, and economic contexts.

In essence, this proposal seeks to address the critical gap between the immense theoretical potential of AI-enhanced DAOs on Cardano for managing public goods, RWA, and complex systems, and the practical realities of usability, coordination, funding, and demonstrating value that currently limit their impact. We aim to solve these interconnected problems by building the foundational framework, intelligent tools (AGI Agent), engaging interfaces (AGI Avatar Phygital Interface), and validated, high-visibility use cases necessary to unlock this potential.

Multiply DAO proliferation Worldwide with AGI Agents built on Cardano by proven AI, DAOs, RWA and DeFi partners. Let's showcase the Impact of new use-cases for governance, fundraising and collective ownership!
