Yesterday the markets were talking about the sudden drop in the Mantra price. This loss in the $OM price raised many questions. Is the Mantra team behind the collapse? It is still not clear. Of course, #SecureYourAssets and #SECGuidance became more important.
While #bitcoin follows a balanced course, it is also curious how the #BinanceLaunchpoolWCT will open. When we look at the overall picture, we see that all these developments increase the importance of individual participation and the right project selection.
In such an environment, @DAO Labs ' ILO model, which focuses on contribution instead of investment, stands out with its approach based on sustainable community contributions away from speculation.
đ How Did I Join ILO?
I've been doing social mining for a long time. Since I was already involved in DAO Labs' first ILO project, I prepared for the Autonomys process step by step. Autonomys Network was DAO Labs' second ILO project. In the previous ILO project, we had to register and define roles for the Donation Pool. The registration phase was open for existing social miners and new participants. But due to an explosion of demand (700%), registration was closed early. Therefore, many people were not able to participate in the first ILO process.
During Autonomys' ILO, registration for the Pledge Pool was not opened. This time DAO Labs selected participants based on predefined criteria. These criteria included early participation, content quality and community interaction.
DAO Labs is increasingly prioritizing quality and sustainable participation in ILO processes. This shows us that early and regular engagement, active community interaction and consistent content production will be much more decisive in future ILOs.
đ Task Distribution and Calendar in the ILO Process
With this understanding, DAO Labs distributed the tasks in Autonomys ILO by categorizing the content producers according to their different areas of expertise. In this way, each participant had the chance to produce content in the area they are most competent in and provide maximum benefit to the project.
The tasks were spread over a 4-week period to be completed between March 24 and April 24, 2025. Tasks suitable for each category were added to the panel. As soon as users logged in to the ILO platform, they received their assigned task list. After completing the tasks, all they had to do was to complete the week by adding their social media sharing links to the relevant field on the platform.
My defined role in social mining centers is graphic design. My tasks are also related to this role. I am sharing a screenshot of my dashboard so you can understand how the process works. As you can see on this screen, I was assigned 7 tasks.
I completed these tasks in order, and to show that the tasks were completed, I added the post links to the relevant field each week and sent them for review with the [Submit] button. If you want, you can review my posts for some of these tasks.

I cannot share the Infography task because I uploaded it to Google drive. However, I will publish my article for the Binance Square task in 1-2 days. You can also review the OnePager I prepared in this article. đInfographic: đ
Important reminders:
- Review the task details carefully and add the links in the relevant week.
- You can edit the link you added during the relevant week. However, you cannot edit the link after the week is completed.
- You cannot do all tasks on the same day, week or last day. You have to follow the set schedule.
- You can see the links of the tasks you have completed in the [My Deliverables] tab and check them by clicking the [LINK] link under the [SUBMISSION] column.
- Do what is asked of you by sharing quality content. If your posts do not meet the standards, your task will be rejected. Therefore, your allocation will be reduced.
- You should continue to produce content after TGE; otherwise you may lose tokens during the vesting process.
After this 4-week process is completed, all content is manually checked by the validators. After all evaluations are completed, we see the results on the ILO panel.
đŻ Why is Autonomys ILO Different?
Actually, DAO Labs CEO Malte's words summarize the process:
âAt Autonomys, we are trying a different use case. Whereas in RWA we bought and distributed LP tokens, here we are setting contribution-based TGE and vesting. This is a model where the individual user has more freedom. Everyone is responsible for their own unlocking.â
This model gives participants both more responsibility and more freedom. The vesting process is personalized, so the one who keeps contributing wins.
As you can see, I didn't have to make any investment like on IDO Launchpad platforms. Instead, I qualified for token allocation by pledging to contribute and completing tasks. Considering that content quality, originality and social media interactions are among the most important factors affecting the allocation amount, why shouldn't I do more. This is my motivation.
Autonomys Hub's Contribution to the Ecosystem
Autonomys Hub is not just a platform for managing tasks. It is also a living example of how DAOs can enable communities in their growth process.
Participants produce content and provide sustainable support to projects. This support is not just a contribution in exchange for tokens; it is also based on knowledge generation, interaction and trust building.
As a result, Autonomys ILO pioneers a community-centered contribution model that goes beyond speculation and hype-based token distributions. In this system, every individual who contributes both adds value to the project and receives the compensation they deserve.
As an experienced social miner, this process offered me not only a token gain, but also an environment where I could show my competence and produce valuable work. That's why I find this approach of DAO Labs very valuable in terms of sustainability for Web3.
