Live X Space
In an engaging Xtalks Spaces session on 17 June, host Kody interviewed Batsi, founder of Pipe gDAO, shedding light on the organization's mission, projects, and vision for impact finance. Pipe gDAO, an impact finance ecosystem, aims to capture a $26 billion share of the $2.3 trillion market over the next decade through its $GDAO token and blockchain-based funds.
Origins and Mission
Originating from the Pipe platform, which commercializes university lab projects, Pipe gDAO was born to leverage blockchain for funding innovative projects.
The mission centers on creating web-based impact funds to support global initiatives, enhancing university project disclosure, and addressing funding gaps.
Tackling University Innovation Challenges
The discussion highlighted the "European paradox," where European academia lags in producing tech unicorns due to risk-averse cultures and funding shortages. Busi emphasized their secure project disclosure methods, using cryptographic measures to protect intellectual property while avoiding premature patenting.
Team and Branding
Pipe gDAO’s team blends web2 and web3 expertise, with Wayne leading branding efforts featuring retro-style designs and green hues symbolizing renewal. The team includes developers, community managers, and advisors dedicated to their project's goals.
Partnership with Layer One X
Pipe gDAO collaborates with Layer One X (L1X) for its bridgeless interoperability and multi-chain approach, enhancing user experience and accessibility.
The $GDAO token, launched on Layer One X’s Quantum DeX, enables community voting on impact-focused initiatives, with cross-chain interoperability boosting liquidity.
G Starter Launchpad
Set for a Q3/Q4 launch, the G Starter Launchpad, built with Layer One X, will offer cross-chain investment services, including liquid staking and AI-driven token sale management. This platform aims to simplify investments and attract diverse projects.
Future Plans
Looking ahead, Pipe gDAO plans to develop an STO platform using Layer One X’s subnet functionality for compliant capital raising, empowering private companies to innovate independently of traditional banking systems.
Key Takeaways
The interview underscored Pipe gDAO’s commitment to revolutionizing impact finance through blockchain, addressing university commercialization challenges, and fostering cross-chain interoperability. With exciting projects like the G Starter Launchpad and STO platform, Pipe gDAO is poised to drive meaningful change.
