As of April 15, 2025, the cryptocurrency market is facing challenges. Bitcoin $BTC has recovered to $85,794 after declines due to President Trump's tariffs. In contrast, Ethereum $ETH is down slightly at $1,632.01. Investor confidence has been affected by the collapse of Mantra's $OM token, which dropped over 90% amid rug-pull allegations but has since rebounded by about 200%, with comparisons to the #TerraLunaCrash .

Amid these changes, @DAO Labs and #AutonomysHUB are introducing the Initial Labor Offering (ILO) model to reshape community participation and reward mechanisms in the decentralized ecosystem.​


The ILO Phases Stages Explained

ILO simplifies contribution into four clear steps — pledge, work, validate, and claim. By following this timeline, contributors lock in rewards and token benefits while helping shape the ecosystem through verified, task-based commitment.

DAO Labs seeks to establish the industry standard for token sales and project launches, and one of their methods for proving this is through the Initial Labor Offering.

The Autonomy Pledge Pool for the Initial Labor Offering has been open since March 24, 2025. I feel fortunate to have received an exclusive invitation from DAO Labs, and I am so glad to be selected to participate in the Autonomys Network ILO. It has been heartwarming to be recognized as a valuable contributor to the growth of DAO Labs and Autonomys. I have decided to make the most of this exclusive opportunity, which allows me to pledge and gain early access to the $AI3 Autonomys token in exchange for my work and contributions.


I need to work on securing the fully vested allocation of the Autonomy Network, and I believe my efforts will significantly contribute to its growth and success.

I have pledged 250 #AI3Token amounting $150. As a Content Writer in Group G., I am responsible for submitting four retweets and four original posts each week, especially during the ILO phases. Additionally, I need to ensure that I submit a valuable article on #BinanceSquare and another on Medium as part of my pledge.

About Flexible Vesting

The Initial Labor Offering (ILO) includes flexible vesting mechanisms that allow contributors to earn higher allocations based on their work, promoting sustainable tokenomics and reducing immediate sell-offs. Besides my pledged amount, I’ve earned additional rewards by tweeting, retweeting ILO tasks, and participating in open tasks for hubbers. The points system equates 100 points to $1.

Here is the additional proof, so far.


Let’s examine the process once the ILO phases are complete. As our esteemed CEO , Sir Malte Christensen, mentioned, the "Autonomy" approach outlined in the ILO offers a new and empowering perspective for Social Miners. Additionally, it introduces a flexible Token Generation Event (TGE) along with adaptable vesting tiers for both Pledge Pool and ILO participants. This structure allows users to earn a higher percentage of TGE and unlock vesting rewards based on their contributions.

Here is a sample illustration, of how the ILO unlock and rewards will be granted:

Warning: Don't Let Your Mood Push You Down

The ILO Fair Distribution: Flexible Vesting Mechanism

  • May & June 2025:
    If your performance is rated Excellent — you unlock the full reward of 250 $AI3 tokens each month.

  • July 2025:
    If your performance drops to Very Good, the reward decreases slightly to 200 $AI3 tokens (a deduction of 50 tokens).

  • August 2025:

    A Good performance results in 150 $AI3 tokens.

  • September 2025:
    A Satisfactory rating lowers the reward further to 100 $AI3 tokens.

  • October 2025:A Fail rating leaves you with just $0.01 AI3 tokens — essentially nothing left to unlock.

The Mood Meter on the left side is a playful reminder: your mood reflects your commitment and results. Staying consistent ensures maximum rewards.


💡 Note: The deduction shown is purely for illustration — it shows what might happen if you don’t complete your ILO assignments properly or miss deadlines across phases.

The Autonomys and DAO Labs ILO is a framework ensures value is assigned based on commitment, making it ideal for builders, creators, and social miners. As the cryptocurrency landscape evolves, the ILO model supports meaningful collaboration within the community. Choose your role, put in your best effort, and let your contributions unlock your rewards—because in this new economy, actions speak louder than words.
