Where Sneed DAO Is And Where It Is Going

This is a good time to recap some of what Sneed DAO has been up to for about 2 years, and give some idea of where we're going with it all.

When the Sneed SNS DAO launched we already had big plans, many of which having been formed already during the SNS-1 days.

However, due to the nature of the game (you can't be *too* public about your ideas until you ship...) the public road map has not been inclusive of every product Sneed DAO considers, works on or plans.

Sneed Lock, for example, was conceived around the time of the DAO launched and worked on in semi stealth (DAO members on the discord knew) until shipped around a year later.

Sneedex, recently launched, was discussed, planned, even named, during the SNS-1 days (when we called SNS-1 tokens "Sneeds" and we all had onions in our belts - Sneed DAO is rich in lore and an integral part of ICP and SNS history, but this post will focus on the concrete product road map) but our work on it was in stealth mode until we shipped.

The part of the road map that we have always been public about, and also shipped in parallel to more stealthy operations, are oriented around infrastructure efforts to help governance for our SNS - and others! - operate more efficiently.

The biggest example: NNS lacks tools to discuss proposals, both before they become proposals as well as when they are submitted.

So Sneed DAO built the Sneed Forum, where DAO members can discuss all our proposals in a reddit-style user experience, with auto-created threads for each proposal.

Users can also submit threads for pre-proposals to gauge interest and support before risking stake on a real proposal. Most importantly (and uniquely, as far as I know anywhere in crypto), staked voting power can be used for up and down votes in discussions as well as for user submitted polls.

This was needed to be able to manage our SNS DAO properly, so we figured other SNS DAO's might need it too. Thus we made all our features open to any SNS DAO - just click a button to open the forum for a new SNS, anyone can do it, permissionlessly and free of charge, and then their members can use their staked voting power in their DAO to vote on posts and polls.

Obviously this will not be a money maker for Sneed DAO when it is free of charge (and there are no ad networks on ICP). But Sneed DAO sees it as part of its mission to fill critical gaps in SNS infrastructure - for itself and others - to ensure that the SNS can be a full fledged platform for Decentralized Autonomous Organizations. Sneed DAO wants to be a good and useful ICP and SNS community member.

No other blockchain has anything like the SNS infrastructure, and the potential value of being the platform to make DAOs take off could be immense. It is one of ICP's core value propositions, and we really want to help it take wings.

The SNS is already without comparison the best software for DAOs, and by filling in gaps like VP weighted polls and discussion forums, we can extend the advantage further and make the SNS governance experience even better for everyone.

In the same vein, Sneed Hub (the web site where you can access everything Sneed DAO has to offer) also offers SNS ecosystem explorers that we needed for our own DAO to let members understand the tokenomics and make informed decisions, but that since day one were made to support every SNS: neuron explorers, member explorers, transaction explorers, you name it.

If you are at all in the SNS ecosystem, make Sneed Hub your homepage.

In the feed page ("Sneed's Feed") you will see everything that happens across the site and the ecosystem (with flexible customizable filters and search).

You will get notifications in the website header when you have new SNS proposals you have not voted on, and you can vote directly from a dialog with one click.

Slowly but surely, over the last year the SNS Social Media and Governance part of Sneed Hub has gone from useful to indispensable for many serious SNS governance users.

Sneed Hub also fills another infrastructure gap that recently had a vivid demonstration of its usefulness, when we had a mission 70 proposal that many people thought was from Dfinity - but wasn't.

Sneed Hub supports a public naming system, the Sneed Naming Service, for principals and neurons where the owners of those principals and neurons can register public names for them, that are then shown instead of (or alongside) the hard to recognize/memorize neuron id or principal in places like the "proposer" field of a proposal (not available for ICP proposals yet, but for all SNS proposals).

Not only is all of this open for other SNSes to use as much as they want via the Sneed Hub web site, these services are free to integrate with for any ICP app that wants to.

As an example, TACO DAO has integrated the Sneed Naming Service, so their users can see which proposals are from the team or other well known community members, just like Sneed Hub users can.

TACO DAO has also integrated the Sneed SNS Forum so their users can discuss their proposals directly on the TACO website, using the same Sneed Forum backend canister as Sneed Hub. This means users can read and write these posts on either site - even sending tips (any ICRC1 token) for posts cross websites works!

All of this infrastructure for proper SNS governance is what Sneed DAO has worked hard on getting in place over these last two years. None of it is what Sneed DAO ever planned to make a revenue from.

In addition to that infrastructure, Sneed DAO also had to build the infrastructure to deliver non-infationary rewards to our stakers. SNS has built in features to mint rewards and distribute them, but the Sneed token is strictly deflationary, so again we had to fill a gap in SNS infrastructure.

We thus pioneered, in partnership with Neutrinite DAO and NeuronPool, hooking up a full tokenomics loop where revenues from market making (LP fees) are fed to an 8 year ICP neuron, the maturity from which is used to continuously buy back Sneed from the market and distribute as staking rewards to our members. Other revenues from our product sales that are now starting to happen, are also fed into this system.

The animated overview of Sneed DAO's sophisticated tokenomics was posted by @dominic_w in this tweet:

You can see the live diagram on tokenomics section of Sneed Hub, here:

Sneed DAO has, long story short, pioneered a lot off stuff on ICP, far too much to mention in this post. And yet, so far, none of it has been the real plan - the part where we hopefully start making some revenue.

We have always had product plans, but to get to the point where we could ship these products, we needed two things:

1) Improved SNS governance infrastructure to coordinate our complex and fully decentralized efforts.

Check ✅

2) Infrastructure for a new type of marketplace, for minting, buying and selling canisters as personal apps - like NFTs except they do something!

Check ✅

This new infrastructure for #2 above is finally here with Sneedapp, the new app store for minting canister apps, and with Sneedex, the auction marketplace for buying and selling canister apps - both available via Sneed Hub.

This means we can finally start delivering the products that have been on our internal road map for a long time!

First out are the Sneed ICP Staking Bot and the Sneed Trading Bot. We have a whole product family of bots planned, as well as other apps that will be sold as canisters but not really be bots (think private forum servers etc).

Sneedapp may start humbly with just two apps (bots) available to mint for now, but not only will the bot family grow, we will also welcome other canister app developers to deliver their products via Sneedapp, for a 10% cut to Sneed DAO.

Eventually (not too long) Sneedapp will be fully permissionless for anyone to list their apps, but for now we are talking to some initial partners to launch their apps, alongside the Sneed DAO offerings. Contact us is this would be interesting to you!

Sneedex is already fully permissionless, so one option available right now is to sell your canister apps using auctions on Sneedex, but to mint unlimited amounts of your app on-demand for users, Sneedapp will be the way to go - and Sneedex is where some users may opt to resell their apps when they are done with them.

So to summarize: Sneed DAO has spent two years building the required infrastructure to bring our planned products to market.

Now that infrastructure is here and we are exited to start revealing the product line-ups we have coming next.

A few hints:

Sneed Market Making Bot

Sneed Governance Bot

Sneed Alarm Bot

Sneed Distribution Bot

All are on the road map.

All of these bots are able to listen to and react to each other's events to form fully autonomous bot networks, working much like the in the diagram Dom linked, but working for you, for your project or your DAO, toiling effortlessly on your behalf 24/7, on-chain, fully non-custodial.

We hope you are as excited as we are to join us on the coming leg of the journey - it promises to be the most interesting and fun filled yet!

I'm thrilled to announce that I've joined the fantastic team at @Subzero_Labs! This move comes after an exciting seven years at Dfinity.

I'm returning to my life-long mission: bringing privacy to the world! At @Subzero_labs, we are building @RialoHQ, the world's first network to offer computation that is both private and publicly verifiable. This directly addresses a core challenge in web3 adoption.

Blockchains have demonstrated over the past decades that they are the future of financial infrastructure, providing a secure and resilient platform for running programs. To achieve broad adoption and move beyond the current web3 scope, protecting user privacy on-chain is absolutely essential. Furthermore, private on-chain computation is the key to seamlessly connecting web3 programs to the wider internet and delivering the user experience expected today, eliminating many of the existing web3 pains and hurdles.

As I embark on this new chapter in my career, I want to take a moment to thank my former colleagues at @dfinity for a wonderful and crazy seven years building the world’s most scalable blockchain. Thank you!

PSA: NEXT BEAR MARKET INCOMING ‼️

A lot of altcoins will disappear in this upcoming bear market. Why? Because most crypto tokens and projects are secretly built on centralized giants like AWS—Amazon's cloud infrastructure that powers everything from trading platforms (Coinbase, Robinhood) to Layer-2 networks (Base) and even Ethereum nodes. When AWS hiccups (like the massive outage last week that froze transactions and wallets across the board), your "decentralized" coins grind to a halt. They're not truly sovereign; they're just renting space from Big Tech, vulnerable to downtime, censorship, or skyrocketing costs when the market tanks.

Case in point: Just yesterday, Kadena (KDA)—a once-hyped Layer-1 blockchain touted as "the blockchain for business"—pulled the plug. The entire organization announced it's shutting down operations immediately due to brutal market conditions. No more development, no more active maintenance of the network. KDA crashed over 60% in hours, wiping out $90M+ in market cap, and exchanges like Bybit and OKX are already delisting it. Sure, the chain might limp along on independent miners for now, but without core support, it's a ghost town waiting to fade. This is the harsh reality hitting mid-tier alts: when funding dries up and reliance on centralized infra bites, they fold.

But here's the silver lining $ICP (Internet Computer) will still be standing tall. Unlike these AWS-dependent projects, ICP is a fully decentralized "world computer" built on independent global nodes, not some corporate cloud. It hosts entire apps, data, and AI models on-chain at web speeds, ditching the single point of failure that kills everyone else. No AWS outages, no central kill switch—just pure, resilient blockchain infrastructure that scales without begging Big Tech for mercy. In the bear storm ahead, ICP isn't just surviving; it's positioned to thrive as the true alternative to centralized web giants.
