(2022-02-04) Lebrau Andros Wong's Wonder Is Providing DAOs With Technical Infrastructure

Craig Lebrau: Andros Wong's Wonder is Providing DAOs with Technical Infrastructure. When the pandemic rolled around in 2020, many foresaw the death of the gig economy, but instead, it was given a new purpose. The platform has an intuitive task management tool which allows users to configure workflows, set up authorizations and roles, as well as allow the team to coordinate transparently. Wonder also offers their own social token which can later be converted into real-world money.

Wonder has one key concept and it is that “the future is collaborative” – gone are the traditional practices of employers and employees in the way that we were taught or the way that we previously understood.

At first glance, the task management platform may seem like any other that allows users to set roles and parameters, as well as delegate and keep track of tasks. However, unlike other services, it is tailored for this new collaborative world, rather than treating everyone in the workplace as an employee.

For the team at Wonder, DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations) were an extremely important part of their consideration, as they believe this is the way of business in the future.

DAOs move away from a single employer structure to a collaborative system where all parties have the potential to share ownership and weigh in on key decision-making points. Payment is another key detail in collaborative work, as everyone wants to be paid fairly and punctually. Upon task completion, payment will be automated in any currency, whether fiat money or cryptocurrency. (Virtual Company, Software Bootstrap As DAO, TaskCloud)

People seem to forget that work is collaborative, and going to work gives people a sense of purpose, a sense of community. Remote working has removed the essence of belonging because everyone’s working on their own time, in their own timezone, in the comfort of their own homes, detached and removed from any kind of community.

They have social profiles created for every member and organization which offers an insight into how they work.

“Everything is visible. Everything – what you worked on, how many hours, your contributions, etc – is broadcasted on your profile so that people can decide whether they want to work with you or not. Nothing is overlooked or marginalized. Big or small, we recognize that every contribution is important.”
