About FreeBe

FreeBe is a collaborative DAO that fosters freedom and value creation in the digital world. Through decentralized, contribution-based mechanisms, it builds infrastructure and promotes cooperative software co-creation. With a vision for an objective and fair system of value judgment based on collective consensus, FreeBe empowers individuals to freely collaborate, harness their uniqueness, and drive collaborative innovation.

My role: Founder

FreeBe originated from an in-depth discussion post in the Yuque community about "What is freedom." It was conceived as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) and uses collaborative software development as its practice method. Over time, it has evolved into a gathering place for technology enthusiasts and idealists, as well as a remote collaboration community that values an "altruistic" culture.

How FreeBe currently works

FreeBe DAO is a collaborative space where software engineers, designers, and PMs work together, functioning as a community-based remote company. Here’s how we operate:

  • Marketing Team: Engages with clients and brings projects to the community.
  • PMs: Develop user stories and requirement documents tailored to client needs.
  • Designers and Engineers: Review user stories to ensure smooth project execution. (We adopted the Amoeba model, where subordinates review the work results of their superiors)
  • Community Manager: Breaks down software development requests into manageable tasks — some are processed by AI, while others are posted on our community bounty wall for members to claim.

Our incentive system includes both monetary rewards and token incentives. Token holders gain enhanced access to DAO resources and can exchange value within the DAO.

Here are two visual screenshots of how it works:
