# Calabara

### Welcome to Calabara!

Calabara is a community-led design house for web3 public goods. We created a platform that allows communities to create dashboards which houses open source applications that we develop as a community (we operate as a DAO) and alongside other web3 communities. These applications can be gated with erc20, erc721, and discord server role rules. In our first iteration, our goal was to design applications to address 2 major pain points for web3 communities: helping casual members stay up to date and making the onboarding experience simple for newcomers. We achieved this by building 3 applications: a document hub, a snapshot hub, and a calendar.

### Applications

Create a custom dashboard for your organization and add some apps to help fellow members keep up with the latest calendar events, snapshot votes, community documents, and more.

### Gatekeeper

Use Discord server role checks or ERC-721 & ERC-20 balance checks to create gatekeeper rules that uniquely affect each application.

We successfully onboarded sizable portions of various communities and are actively underway with our season 2 agenda: experimenting with novel ways of incentivizing community collaboration, participation, and governance engagement. We plan to do this with our new app called Creator Contests, which is why we're here.

Creator contests are an experiment in creating incentive systems for community creatives, builders, and artists via retroactive rewards. An eth/erc-20 rewards pool is reserved for winners of periodic contests initiated by a community. At the close of a contest submission period, community members vote on submissions to contest prompts and rewards are distributed according to the voting results.

Creator Contests will bring more builders to the communities which choose to use them, drive positive engagement amongst existing members, and reward members for creating valuable content that benefits the entire community.
