I first discovered the Autonomys x DAO Labs Initial Labor Offering (ILO) when I got invited through my work as a social miner at @TheDAOLabs. At first, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’ve done many Web3 tasks before—retweets, likes, short writeups—but this felt different.
Being part of the ILO felt like I was joining a movement, not just another campaign. The idea that my voice, creativity, and research could actually shape a real project blew my mind. And knowing that the more value I gave, the more fairly I’d earn—that was a refreshing change from typical airdrops.
During the third wave of ILO, I went all in. I created six mini-articles on X—talking about the Autonomys Ambassador program, the power of decentralized systems, and more. Each post came with custom posters and infographics. I also engaged directly with the official Autonomys posts, reposting and reacting to keep the momentum going.
But here’s what really stood out: for the first time, I didn’t have a strict list of tasks to check off. I was free to research, create, and contribute how I saw fit. That freedom gave me a new appreciation for Web3. I wasn't just following orders—I was building something meaningful.
As someone who once chased every airdrop and giveaway, ILO showed me what real contribution feels like. And it gave me a new lens to see the Web3 world—where effort, not just luck, defines your rewards.
It reminded me of the early days of $BTC , where community and belief drove everything. This is that same spirit—reborn for builders.
My takeaway?
ILO reminded me that the future of Web3 isn’t just about rewards—it’s about recognition and responsibility.
