The Hub - or, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

The main value of a Hub is to be able to expand the concept of DAO - from a list of 0x addresses, to a functional, coordinated group of individuals willing to create and achieve something together.

It expands the concept of a DAO directly at the contract level, building upon the original definition of a smart contract(s)-powered community.

It’s an on-chain project/organization where different abstractions, such as Onboarding Strategies, Reward Mechanisms, and Task Types, can be easily integrated and are available interoperably for the entire ecosystem.

At its core, it adds the native concepts of Member’s Role, Interaction and Reputation at contract level - so that each Participant to a decentralized Project, Organization or Hub is represented in a much more multidimensional, richer way - other than a basic 0x... address in a mapping function.

This turns any DAO/Project/Organization itself into an on-chain declarative statement, that sets the foundation for (1) its verifiability and measurement, (2) its standardization, (3) a socio-financial agreement where each participant can join the collective for free association.

You may see this on-chain structure as a sort of self-enforcing representation of the whole is greater than the sum of its parts on a digital scale.

What makes a Hub an evolution respect to a DAO

A Hub has fundamental concepts built-in at contract level:

• Each contributor/participant/member of a Hub has a Role in the community

• Roles (not Discord roles, or random "revokable NFTs" - but actual, custom Role names with custom RBAC permissions) are at contract level

• Each contributor/participant/member of a Hub has a Commitment Level representing the time or effort they dedicate to the community

• Each contributor/participant/member of a Hub has a Participation Score representing the measurable value of their contribution to the community

• Interactions are tracked for each Task and Participant
