About This Episode

In this episode of DevNTell, Narb welcomes Adam and Paslar, the co-founders of Updraft, a decentralized coordination platform. Updraft is designed to prioritize ideas, allowing users to propose, support, and fund projects without the traditional hurdles of business models or venture capital. The guests discuss their backgrounds in projects like BrightID and Giveth, and how those experiences led to the creation of Updraft. The episode includes a detailed demonstration of the platform, explaining how users can earn through 'support-to-earn' and 'vote-to-earn' mechanics using the native UPD token, as well as how developers can propose and fund solutions to community-driven ideas.

Key Takeaways

1

Updraft is a decentralized platform where ideas come first, acting as a mashup of Product Hunt, crowdfunding, and a bounty board.

2

The platform enables users to earn money by identifying and supporting high-potential ideas early through a 'funder reward' system.

3

Developers can use Updraft to propose solutions for community ideas and secure funding directly through transparent milestones.

4

Foundations and DAOs can run campaigns on Updraft to crowdsource feedback and identify which initiatives their communities value most.

5

New users can get started with the platform's native UPD token via a Discord faucet, reducing the barrier to entry for decentralized coordination.
