The LifeDAO (TLD) is a community-owned alternative to life insurance. Designed for those seeking transparency, fairness, and mutual support, TLD offers life protection outside traditional insurance. The inspiration for TLD came from a personal tragedy: when Sharene, co-founder of Takadao, lost a close friend, she experienced the power of community support firsthand. This experience fueled her vision to create a community-owned life protection model, ensuring everyone has access to security and shared responsibility.

PS: TLD is on testnet!

Barbie is that girl and so are you!


Barbie will always be my favorite girl. I believe a lot of young girls, ladies and women all over the world would agree with this statement. Initially barbie seemed like perfection, she was made for fun, entertainment and an ideal icon for every female. As I grew older I realized she wasn't aiming for perfection. Her aim was to be seen, heard and acknowledged. She wasn't perfect but she showed up everyday for her friends, family, work and most importantly herself. Looking at barbie currently, I see myself and many other woman round the world taking the initiative to achieve their dreams in their different sectors of life. Just like barbie is that girl in her dream house, so are we in this world.

The brand is Ealiox

their audience is everyday social media users

They are stopping the challenge of everyday social media users being bombarded with ads, and being asked to pay first before those ads are taken away from them; having them lose money in the end without gaining anything

to overcome this challenge they created an app that allows social media users to get paid for watching ads that way instead of having a lot taken from them and gaining nothing in return now their time on social media will be not only entertaining but beneficial.
