Stage 3: Pre-launch

After building, you’ll want to prepare your DataDAO for launch. This phase is about integrating your DataDAO into the broader Vana ecosystem and getting the word out.

Step 1: Integrate with DEX, Staking, and Governance

Before your DataDAO goes live, ensure it’s integrated with Vana’s ecosystem for staking, decentralized exchanges (DEX), and governance. No need to worry — Vana provides all the necessary guides and tools to make the integration process straightforward. Additional documentation will be provided later.

Step 2: Marketing and Community Building

Building a DataDAO isn’t just about the tech. You'll need to get the word out to data contributors and consumers. Some questions to consider:

  • Who are your early adopters? Are they individuals or companies?
  • How will you keep contributors engaged? Consider loyalty programs, rewards, or other incentives.
  • Social Channels: Use social media, forums, and industry groups to spread the word. Your presence will be key in bringing contributors and consumers on board.
