Project Overview

Imagine turning every purchase you make into direct support for your favorite communities. BCard bridges the gap between web3 tokenomics and real-world usability, making it effortless for users to support DAOs while earning rewards.

By eliminating the complexity of converting tokens to fiat, BCard ensures a seamless experience, empowering communities with better economic health and real-world impact.

  • Built a community-first payment card to redirect transaction fees (1-2%) to users’ chosen DAOs.
  • Designed an easy-to-use mobile app for onboarding members and managing rewards.
  • Created the first DAO co-operative model where users have a voice in shaping the card’s future.
  • Supported DAOs with healthier tokenomics and sustainable growth by ensuring better token lifecycle management.

Earning in DAO Tokens, spending in FIAT automatically

This wallet simplifies the connection between web3 rewards and real-world spending, allowing users to earn DAO tokens through community engagement and spend them directly as fiat without any manual conversions.

Real-time token tracking, seamless fiat integration, rewards transparency, and built-in DAO tooling, it empowers users to support and interact with their communities while enjoying a frictionless financial experience.

White labeling card for other DAOS

BCard empowers communities by offering custom digital cards through our app, with the option for a physical branded card for members to enhance their brand experience.

We collaborate with diverse communities like BanklessDAO, Higher, Nouns, Open Medicine Foundation, OriginDAO, PoolTogether, and Purple, enabling them to generate revenue through card spending while strengthening their identity and mission.

Retributions in DAO tokens, avoiding the token volatily

We help DAOs maintain a stable and sustainable token economy, as users can spend their rewards without burning through tokens during market downturns. By keeping the tokens circulating within the community, BCard not only empowers users but also supports the long-term stability and growth of the DAO’s ecosystem.

Our platform ensures that the value of earned tokens is protected from market fluctuations, making it easier for users to support DAOs while still having the flexibility to spend their rewards.

DAO vote tooling and perks

I designed a improvement in the UX experience by enabling users to access governance tools and relevant news directly from their wallet. Members can participate in voting and stay updated on important developments within their DAO, all in one place.

This feature, currently in development, aims to streamline engagement and empower communities with seamless access to decision-making and information.

Flows, branding, bussiness models

Led the design and development of the BCard app, collaborating with the team on everything from UX/UI to defining the brand and communication strategy. Together with partners, I helped design the revenue model, leveraging interchange fees (1-2%) from card transactions to benefit users and communities. By pooling transaction volumes, DAOs unlock higher revenue rates, creating a sustainable funding model for projects. [Check here the documentation]

I also created lead-generating products like Taxman, a wallet tax calculator recognized with a Retro PGF-3 award [Check the project here]

My hands-on involvement ensured BCard’s technology stood out 💜 Web3 doesn’t have to be complicated; it can be simple, intuitive, and accessible for everyone.
