Introducing: CoSoul

Reputation is everything.

This maxim has been true since well back in our history as epigenetic beings, and it may be even more true now in the nebulous future of decentralized organizations. Your web3 history, engaging in the early days of this novel and rhizomatic structure, is valuable. It is your identity and a sign of your humanity. The human relationships you have stewarded, the accolades and respect you’ve gained from your comrades in various discords, telegrams and DAOs; that social truth and glue hasn’t been easy to visualize through on-chain mechanisms. Until now…

Coordinape is excited to be launching its first on-chain marker of the work you have done and relationships you’ve maintained, via CoSoul.

CoSoul is:

A free-to-mint SoulBound NFT that will automatically synch with your Coordinape history, bringing your experience on-chain.

Over 15,000 people have collected GIVE in Coordinape since we launched in 2021, and we are psyched to finally be able to give them an on-chain record of this activity. CoSoul is the first public manifestation of the Coordinape network, and a primitive on which much more will be built. It is mintable for free, on the Optimism network.

CoSoul’s introductory features:

• 📹 The CoSoul SoulBound NFT presents a snapshot of your work history on-chain, in our app, any NFT viewing platform, and also plugs in with any tool that can leverage NFT data.

• 📡 Synchs with Coordinape Data: Each month, your CoSoul’s attributes will update based on your work in Coordinape. We are launching with an MVP metric called Public GIVE, which is a normalized version of the GIVE you have collected, modulated to be meaningful in a global ecosystem of DAOs.
  * Note: pGIVE algorithm is in beta, and your pGIVE totals may change as we refine it.

• ❄️ Generative Artwork: Your CoSoul is imagined as a constantly evolving generative image, which will grow and change as you continue to engage in DAOs and online communities via Coordinape.

• 📃 Public CoSoul Profile: displays your art and the provenance of the GIVE you have received. You can browse any CoSoul to see where that sweet pGIVE has come from, as well as more stats and markers.

• 👷 Management Features: You can burn your CoSoul at any time, and there are social recovery functions in case you need to change wallets.

• 🛸The Future is Open: CoSouls have 32 slots for more metrics and data, and we will continue to build on them, as well as connect them with other dapps, platforms and protocols.

• 👁️ No eyeball scanning. Leave your retinas at home and concentrate instead on the history of your work and human relationships. We think this is the future of identity.
