Introducing Canister Builder DAO (CBD)

[diegop]

In full transparency, I rejected proposal only because that is my default behavior for proposals unless I understand and agree what the action item is. I look forward to next proposal to learn more

DFINITY Foundation's vote on Governance proposal #52133 (CBD Neuron)

Dear ICP Community, TLDR: DFINITY Foundation will vote NO on CBD Neuron. Background The DFINITY Foundation (via its named neuron 27) has started to vote on governance proposals. Since the DFINITY Foundation is a critical player in the ecosystem, our long-term intent is to make a habit of explaining our rationale for how we vote in motion proposals, Foundation voting power, etc… for further visibility. Proposal in question In this particular case, we will vote NO on Proposal CBD Neuron. We…

Good to know that it’s only a test Witter. Thanks for the clarification.

@wpb and @justmythoughts Thank you for your question and sharing healthy skepticism. After the ICProposal DAO scam, we shall all be vigilant and extra cautious.

I would probably never use the word “legit” on any person beyond my immediate family members. It’s just too much of an endorsement that’s beyond my capacity. I don’t have access to FBI criminal report or financial statement of the concerned party, whether that party is GE/AWS (my ex-employers) or DFINITY or CBD. If people ask me about DFINITY, I got an easy answer - I work for DFINITY full-time. Is that enough of a signal? Anyway, that’s just me.

Coming back to your question on CBD, I know many of the players in this mini-federation, but not all of them. I’m selective in which events I attend and whose parties I go to, as often my presence per se can send certain signals. All the public activities I’ve done for DFINITY and IC ecosystem can be found on my Twitter. Essentially my Twitter is becoming the wikipedia for all things DFINITY/IC ecosystem in Asia. I build up my Twitter feed for moments like this, so that you can conduct due diligence on various actors in the IC community and draw your own conclusions accordingly.

With that said, here are some references for anyone who’s interested in the background of various participants of CBD:

• Alexa and I attended the kickoff community talk of CBD on 3/18/2022

• Who is AstroX Network

• My own user experience with IC Naming

• CCC is one of the top finalists from Wanxiang-DFINITY hackathon in Oct 2021

• ICP League and DfinitySZ (later rebranded as D Plus) were key community partners to DFINITY’s own official hackathon in late 2021

• D Plus organized a webinar for IC on 1/24/2022

• Another 3/23/2022 webinar event where I shared the stage with ICPL and D Plus

• I’m scheduled to attend a round table discussion organized by ICPort next week on 4/4

• I listed out 12 token standards in the IC ecosystem including those from CCC, Deland Labs, and IC Lighthouse

I’ve met leaders from the following teams in person on multiple occasions: AstroX, CCC, Deland Labs, DfinitySZ, IC Lighthouse, ICP League, IC Port and IC Naming.

The following teams have received developer grants from DFINITY Foundation: AstroX (multiple), CCC, ChainIDE, Deland Labs, IC Port.

I’m scheduled to have an interview with Dstar team for their developer grant application on 4/5. I just interviewed Dstar on Monday as they are applying for our IC BootCamp Accelerator. iBridge Labs applied for our developer grant a while back but we could not support them as it’s too close to DeFi transaction (not to say the product is not valid). Lomesh and I are in continuous discussion with IC Naming team on how to best position their product.

Leaders of the following teams have received grants from DFINITY’s Community Awards Program, Deland Labs, IC Naming, DfinitySZ, ICP League.

I don’t think I’ve met the leader in person or engaged in substantial convo online from the following teams: Dfinity Viet Nam (who is a frequent retweeter of my tweets… thank you!) , ICES and ICPad.

CBD aspires to become another NNS neuron to help advance the development of IC ecosystem, just like ICP Maximalist and Cycles Dao before them have done. I’m rooting for their success.

Hope this helps. Please DM me on Twitter or email me (herbert.yang@dfinity.org) if you need further info.

Best of luck on your magic

This is excellent. I’m aware that there is a huge constituency of developers and enthusiasts in Asia, but this is the first time I’ve heard of the organization called Canister Builder DAO. Since they didn’t list any of the individual people in the group in the proposal or this post, I just wanted to make sure someone like yourself is familiar with the organization. I’m glad that this DAO is forming. It is needed in my opinion because it helps make a strong case for the globalization and decentralization of the IC when it comes to developer tooling and governance participation.

There’s a new rule btw, you only get a proposal passed on the nineteenth attempt so please keep trying.

Each …lucrative attempt will get you closer to the goal.

Third times a charm.

Hey @CanisterBuilderDAO these are all projects created on ICP?

Idk, maybe can share additional projects.

Getting familiar with what you got and looking forward to assist projects with marketing and PR activities.
Tho, these already look amazing. Thanks for your work and initiatives.
