# Vision of Becoming 1

The Ethos of the GOLDEN.DAO can be summarized as follows: we value our people, we value decentralization, and we believe that every voice should be heard.

What does it take for a project to gain investment from the DAO? The proposals we will strongly consider all have to meet these criteria:

* [x]  *Promote Public Good*
* [x]  *Concrete Use Case in the Crypto Ecosystem*
* [x]  *Directly Benefits the World*

If a project does meet these three criteria, it will have a higher chance of passing and being funded.

However, this is not the primary goal of the DAO; we will rarely vote on projects, but instead, on **people**.

For if one is worthy and has demonstrated commitment to the cause, they will be rewarded...
