Attention is the new currency in our information-saturated world. It shapes our worldview, drives our decisions, and ultimately affects the quality of our lives. In an era of information overload, it's critical to have the ability to independently manage where and how we direct the precious focus of our attention.

Attention DAO provides a solution to this challenge. It's a platform where your attention becomes a valuable asset and publishers and subscribers interact freely, choosing what content to create and consume.

The key principle of the Attention DAO is that users are in full control of their attention. They choose where to direct it and receive a direct benefit from their choice. This benefit is expressed in $FOCUS tokens, which can be used within the ecosystem or exchanged for other cryptocurrencies.

Key Features of Attention DAO:

• Targeted communications: Event Hub for precise audience reach while maintaining privacy.
• Attention Economy: $FOCUS token, rewards for platform activity.
• Decentralized governance: Participation of $FOCUS holders in governance, rewards for voting.
• Tokenomics: 10 million $FOCUS, up to 50% cashback, revenue only through the ecosystem, transparent revenue distribution.
• Integration with Internet Computer: Exchange $FOCUS for ICP, plans to implement SNS (Service Nervous System).

1. Next Steps in the announcement: We'll have a WG meeting at XXX on YYY to discuss more. (Sign up here)
2. Symbiotic Utility DAO + Application DAO => Work together. Start off with app DAO because we are collecting data and reqs for the Utility DAO => Garden of App DAO running on a Utility DAO + (other stuff).

From Ethan: Unclear how focus goes back to the publisher.

Austin: Idea: Show that $focus swaps to $ICP ONLY with a swap from Reward Fund.

Pros for comment and fixing: Subscriber

• DAO Member
• New source of income
• Your attention your rules
• Custom feed: No forced content, just what you're really interested in.
• Premium content at a premium to you: Distributors are forced to give away quality content to keep you.
• New horizons: The system delivers relevant content you didn't even know you needed.

Publisher

• DAO Member
• Ideal Audience: Attract subscribers who are truly interested in your content.
• Get valuable feedback: Encourage honest feedback and reactions from your audience.

Title: Attention DAO - Ideas for Discussion

Purpose: An event-driven system for connecting Internet Computer Ecosystem projects.

While working on the ICRC72 standard, the Event Working Group came up with the idea of creating a DAO to manage message canisters within the Internet Computer ecosystem. We propose to test a new type of DAO, membership in which can be obtained by directing your attention to it.

Attention is the new currency in our information-saturated world. It shapes our worldview, drives our decisions, and ultimately affects the quality of our lives. In an era of information overload, it's critical to have the ability to independently manage where and how we direct the precious focus of our attention.

Attention DAO provides a solution to this challenge. It's a platform where your attention becomes a valuable asset and publishers and subscribers interact freely, choosing what content to create and consume.

An Attention DAO lets information consumers organize their attention to gain bargaining power that is currently given away for free on platforms like Facebook, X, and other similar services. Through organization and collaboration users can make sure that if they are the product, they are compensated accordingly. Attention DAO invites both consumers and producers to be owners of the platform and will let us experiment with how to balance that economy.

The key principle of the Attention DAO is that users are in full control of their attention. They choose where to direct it and receive a direct benefit from their choice.

This benefit is expressed in $FOCUS tokens, which can be used within the ecosystem or exchanged for ICP.

Key Features of Attention DAO:

• Targeted communications: Event Hub for precise audience reach while maintaining privacy.
• Attention Economy: $FOCUS token, rewards for platform activity.
• Decentralized governance: Participation of $FOCUS holders in governance, rewards for voting.
• Tokenomics: 10 million $FOCUS, up to 50% cashback, revenue only through the ecosystem, transparent revenue distribution.
• Integration with Internet Computer: Exchange $FOCUS for ICP, plans to implement SNS (Service Nervous System).
• Ecosystem of Mutual Growth

Next step: We'll have a WG meeting every other Wednesday to discuss more, or join the waiting list

Note: Attention DAO is one of many potential Application DAOs that we believe will utilize the underlying ICRC-72-based Event Utility DAO emerging from the Events Utility working group. It is important for the working group to have one, or many consumers of the utility service to gain important insight into what technical and economic requirements will be necessary to enable the Utility DAO to become a self-sufficient and autonomous piece of infrastructure for Internet Computer application development.

Attention DAO and the eventual Event Utility DAO will be the first organic, community-emergent DAOs to emerge in the Internet Computer ecosystem, and we encourage your involvement. Please bring feedback and ideas!

@Vitiv my only thoughts are its a bit technical, depending on the audience. Seems correct for the forum since people there are more technical or involved, but maybe you could add a few example use cases or zoom out to the experience for the users. Like is this just for people who are 'publishing' content that people like to consume, or maybe its also for just notifications from someone you follow. Or maybe a bit more on WHY this vs something else. Why would this be better than a traditional service

Just some thoughts

Looks great

At the end I would add something like this note:
