Threshold Network

This is a Threshold DAO temp check snapshot. If passed this proposal will move onto Governor Bravo.

Note: Following valuable feedback from the DAO community, we acknowledge that the TACo Integration for Embody represents a unique venture, diverging from the projects typically funded by the Threshold DAO. We view this as an opportunity for long-term ROI, advocating for the funding of this integration as a means to test TACo in a practical, real-world setting. We aim to address a tangible problem and demonstrate TACo’s efficacy in a production level environment outside of the traditional blockchain ecosystem. Additionally, it’s important to emphasize that our proposal centers on the development of an open-source social communication infrastructure built on TACo. This infrastructure is not just a singular solution but a reusable foundation, designed to foster ongoing innovation and utility within the Threshold DAO ecosystem and beyond. The open-source nature of this project ensures that the benefits and learnings derived from this integration can be widely adopted and adapted, furthering the Threshold DAO’s mission of pioneering in decentralized solutions. Project Summary

Our team is excited to propose the integration of TACo (Threshold Access Control) into Embody, the most privacy-forward and comprehensive period tracking app ever built. This integration is especially crucial in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to end the constitutional right to abortion in 2022, which has heightened menstruators’ concerns about the security of data collected by period-tracking tools and its potential misuse. More specifically, we are looking to build the Inner Circle feature, an online community space where menstruators can securely discuss and share their experiences. Through the integration of TACo, Embody’s Inner Circle gains the advantage of its robust security features but also actively contributes to the advancement of the TACo ecosystem.
