Inspired by Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, "Francesco's Hierarchy of Builder Needs" is a framework tailored for the web3 and blockchain developer community. This hierarchy identifies five stages of needs, each with corresponding initiatives aimed at fostering a supportive and innovative ecosystem for builders and developers. This document delves into each stage and the proposed initiatives, aiming to contribute to the thriving builder community within the web3 and blockchain ecosystem.

Ladies and Gentlemen, fellow builders, enthusiasts, and visionaries of the web3 space,

A DAO, or decentralized autonomous organization, is a network of smart contracts operating on the Ethereum blockchain. A DAO functions as a hub through which its contributors and consumers direct and control funds raised in a token sale using voting rights granted to token holders. The code governing individual contributions to a DAO operates under set rules agreed upon at the inception of the DAO, either by human vote or smart contract code. A DAO must decide at some point how it operates and generates value for participants while being controlled by a set of rules that are decided upon by its community participants.
