Details

The Feminine Intelligence Agency (FIA) is a social enterprise focused on helping women build social discernment and agency in navigating power dynamics. We operate a decentralized, peer-to-peer structure—with virtual community programs and member-driven decision-making processes.


Your team will assess the feasibility of integrating blockchain and DAO infrastructure into FIA’s operational model—with an emphasis on the business and governance implications.

This will include:

✅ Providing an overview of blockchain and DAO structures—and how they enable secure, decentralized governance and transparent record-keeping.

✅ Evaluating the potential benefits and challenges of blockchain adoption in FIA’s context—such as trust-building, secure identity verification, or transparent resource sharing.

✅ Conducting a case study analysis—reviewing how similar small or mid-sized social enterprises have used blockchain to streamline operations and governance.

✅ Proposing specific blockchain applications that could enhance FIA’s efficiency and transparency—like smart contracts for shared decision-making, or token-based membership validation.
