It all began with an unexpected yet exciting email from @DAO Labs , I had been selected to join the #Autonomys ILO program. Having been part of a previous ILO, I knew this wasn’t just another campaign. It was an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to a promising project while learning and earning along the way.
Joining the Pledge Pool was straightforward.
I simply connected my wallet and Twitter on the ILO platform, and instantly, the tasks designated for me appeared. One aspect I deeply value is the way allocation is tied to the quality and consistency of your contributions. It’s not a lottery—it’s proof-of-effort. The better your output, the more you’re rewarded. That felt fair and motivating.
Crafting Value During the ILO Phase
Once onboarded, I dove into the content tasks. The goal was clear, and the four-week plan gave me structure without stifling creativity. After submitting my first week’s content, I got that reassuring validation—it was approved. That moment, small as it may sound, sparked a real sense of pride. It told me I was adding value. Same thing for week two: submitted, validated, and deeply satisfying.
Here are some of the works I created during the two-week mark:
And just for transparency and a bit of nostalgia, here’s a screenshot of my submissions dashboard on the ILO platform, showing my verified tasks:
The ILO Flexible Vesting
What really sets this experience apart, though, is the Flexible Vesting structure. As a #SocialMiner, rewards come gradually—not as a quick payout, but as an ongoing relationship with the project. That keeps you invested, not just financially, but emotionally. You’re not just promoting a launch, you’re helping build something that lasts.
In many ways, The #DAOLABS #ILO isn't just another program, it’s a hub where contributors like me stay connected, supported, and valued beyond the hype phase. And for someone who's seen a few waves in Web3, that makes all the difference.
