## Introduction
Imagine a course that covers every vital aspect of Web3 yet is so simple that general/non-technical folk can understand it. 

Imagine a course that not only teaches you but tests your knowledge and allows you to enter the Web3 Ecosystem with no risk or financial investment.

Introducing the only Web3 course you'll ever need to learn, understand, and be a part of the future of the internet.

**Video Coming Soon...**

## High-Level Overview
The goal is to create a course that covers everything required to excel in the Web3 Ecosystem. The contents of the course also need to remain organic. We know that Web3 is volatile and that aspects of it change frequently. Because of this, the course content needs to adapt to these changes.

Finally, there needs to be more to it than just learning what Web3 is. We need to allow the learner to safely be a part of the ecosystem via platforms vetted by the course owner.

The fundamental part of the course will be divided into three phases:
1. First Steps Into Web3
2. Crypto Essentials

## The Vision
The **@JohnJardin Club** is a private club that represents my journey as a builder and creator. By joining this club, you're placing trust in me to innovate and create without the complexities of active governance.

## Why via a DAO?
While DAOs are powerful, they often require extensive governance involvement. Many supporters prefer to empower creators rather than be entangled in decision-making. The JohnJardin club, via DAO technology, allows you to participate in building the future without the burden of governance.

---

## The Offer
By participating in the @JohnJardin Club, you gain a share of the revenue from all my projects.

## Key Points:
- **Token Ownership**:  
The Club token is priced at $0.01 and will increase in value after every $2,000 raised. After securing an initial $1,000 in funding, 50% of the revenue I receive as John Jardin across all projects will be distributed to Club token holders based on their ownership percentage.

---

This proposal is designed to make it easy for you to support my vision and benefit from the success of my projects without needing to navigate complex governance structures.

# Welcome to DeSoOps Club

## Introduction

We invite you to join us at [DeSoOps.com](https://desoops.com), which we aim to develop into the leading management and utility portal for DeSo users. Our initiative is off to a great start with successful distributions of $DESO, Tokens, and Creator Coins to our active community members. Your support can help us elevate DeSoOps to new heights!

## Supporting the Focus App Launch

DeSoOps is aligning its upcoming features with the launch of the "Focus" app by the core DeSo team, scheduled for [11th November 2024](https://focus.xyz). Our enhancements aim to integrate seamlessly with Focus, turning DeSoOps into a vital tool for all DeSo users. This will include a minimal monthly subscription fee of $0.99 for advanced features.

### Upcoming Enhancements:
- **DeSo Account Integration:** Users will be able to register and edit their profiles directly through the DeSoOps portal.
- **Enhanced Notification System:** Mobile push notifications will inform users about private messages, and receipts of cryptocurrency, tokens, NFTs, and other important account activities.
- **DeSo Chat Compatibility:** Full compatibility with the [DeSo Chat Protocol](https://chat.deso.com) for uninterrupted communication within the DeSo network.
- **Comprehensive Wallet Dashboard:** A user-friendly dashboard to view all non-NFT assets such as crypto, tokens, and Creator Coins, reflecting accurate crypto and market values.
- **Customizable Alerts:** Users can customize their notification preferences to avoid unnecessary alerts, with an option to opt-out of mass-tagging and other disturbances.

## Fundraising Details

To realize these features, we require a budget of $4000. We have successfully raised $1000 thus far and plan to initiate further fundraising rounds to secure the necessary funds.

## DeSoOps Club Explained

DeSoOps operates with DAO-like features but is primarily managed by @JohnJardin through Agilit-e. This structure allows us to maintain a focused direction while incorporating community feedback into our operations.

- **Token-based Input:** Token holders are encouraged to submit feature requests and enhancements directly to @DeSoOps for consideration in future updates.
- **Investment Opportunities:** Support the development and expansion of DeSoOps by purchasing tokens during our funding rounds on [OpenFund](https://openfund.com/d/DeSoOps) or trading via the [DeSo DEX](https://openfund.com/trade/DeSoOps). These tokens not only help fund development but also entitle holders to a share of the generated revenue.

### Revenue Model and Tokenomics
- **Revenue Sources:** DeSoOps generates revenue through transaction fees, diamond tipping, Creator Coin Founders Reward, HeroSwap commissions, and planned monthly subscriptions (coming soon).
- **Revenue Distribution:** 50% of the revenue supports Agilit-e operations, and 50% is distributed among DeSoOps token holders, proportional to their token ownership. Revenue is only distributed to token holders who own a minimum of 100 tokens.
- **Token Sale Dynamics:**
   - **Current Price:** $0.03 per token as of 15th October 2024.
   - **Referral Incentive:** Earn a 5% commission for referring new participants.
   - **Token Pricing Model:** The price per token will increase by 10% for every $2000 raised, rounded to the nearest hundredth. For example:
       - After raising the next $2000, the price will increase from $0.03 to $0.04.
       - After an additional $2000, the price will increase from $0.04 to $0.05.
       - After raising another $2000 from a starting price of $0.10, the price will increase to $0.11.
       - **Starting from $0.11, after the next $2000, the price will increase from $0.11 to $0.12 + 10% of $0.12 = $0.132, rounded up to $0.13.**
   - **Reserve Rate:** 0% reserve rate.
