TACo marketing research work group and lines of actions:

• @East, @Vict0r, @sap
• Nax provided these links:
  • https://blog.taho.xyz/introducing-custom-networks-the-evm-ecosystem-at-your-fingertips/
  • https://blog.taho.xyz/tahos-pledge-to-web3-building-the-wallet-you-deserve/
• Understand Lit protocol - direct competitor (https://litprotocol.com/) ~centralized competitor to TACo. The infographics and resources available in the page are nice, well digested and accessible for all the public, we should aim to do the same.
• The IG could grant someone to create good information on TACO with graphics and videos, etc. - so the information is easily grasped. There is general agreement on the difficulty to understand the product enough to transfer this knowledge to BD people from different protocols.
• If you want to research protocols: https://thevalueprop.io/
• @Ashley - MrsNU and @East propose to create an easy example for TACO, e.g., gatekeep a part of the threshold’s website or newsletter only for T token holders or T stakers

  • Ideas: integrate with ghost.io or Mirror

  • Mirror - You can already mint article NFTs. Maybe something like: to get or retain access, you need to mint the article NFT

    Hi guys, this TACO stuff gives me a bit of brainache so I’m not sure if this would work, so any comments would be very much appreciated. So with protocols like Maple Finance (to the best of my knowledge), there is an accredited investor area where users have to go through KYC to prove that they meet the region’s accredited investor standard. The way they’re doing this at the moment I believe is not anonymous, hence they’re processing and storing user data directly and in a centralised manner. This could bring a bit of DeFi flavour to RWA/ tokenised securities on-chain.

    A way of keeping the process reliable but anonymous would be an off-chain verification that you are an accredited investor (In the UK, to become a high-net-worth investor, a person must earn at least 100,000 GBP a year or have at least 250,000 GBP in assets). I am not aware of any currently, but I believe that there are companies that are or are developing a platform to issue Soulbound NFTs, this could contain any information - what university the wallet user went to, their work experience, their age, their domicile etc. So this could be used to allow data-protected access to restricted activities.

    Application using a Soulbound NFT could be used for betting markets that verify that you’re over 18, applications for jobs that require x amount of experience, or proving you are resident in x region for access to a website (like MakerDAO’s endgame will restrict geographic access to markets (the US) through geofencing), separate lending markets for those with a good on-chain or off-chain credit rating, all without giving away your personal information to strangers.
