Autonomys X DAOLabs ILO: Social MIning Incentivizing Genuine Effort

The Initial Labor Offering (ILO) is a mechanism that rewards valuable contributions.

It shifts the focus from speculative investment to actual involvement. As a social miner, I believe social mining is very much in line with this philosophy as it rewards active participation rather than passive speculation.

Your talent and effort are valued in an ILO, and you are compensated with tokens for the real work you contribute.

One such instance of this strategy is the Autonomys and DAO Labs ILO. The Autonomys ILO Pledge Pools takes place from March 24th to April 24th, 2025 (today is April 5th and the program is already running).

During this period, you are given task that is most appropriate for your skill set, be it writer, graphic designer, or influencer. All the work is designed to make you learn about the project's vision and propagate its goals to your network.

After completing your task, a review team from DAO Labs evaluates it on the basis of quality, uniqueness, and engagement. The higher the quality, the more $AI3 tokens you earn.

The ILO model is fair and transparent. Participants are rewarded based on effort contributed, in the sense that tokens are given to individuals who actually learn and believe in the project.

In the case of Autonomys, you become part of a community that learns about Autonomys, spreads its vision and evolves into well-informed and committed support-system when the token generation event takes place.

For start-ups, ILO provides an opportunity for organic marketing. Instead of relying on massive marketing budgets, the project is compensated with organic word-of-mouth from contributors who believe in it.

By that, it means that tokens are fairly distributed to small investors who are knowledgeable about the project. As such, a community that will most probably hold the project for the long term is built!
