The word "elimu" is Swahili for "education." The mission of elimu.ai is to build innovative learning software that empowers out-of-school children to teach themselves basic reading📖, writing✍🏽 and math🔢. You can read more at https://github.com/elimu-ai/wiki#readme
The product built by elimu.ai is Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). The open source project is organized as a Decentralized Autonomous Organization: Ξlimu DAO
The Ξlimu DAO is the financial layer surrounding the elimu.ai software product, enabling contributor coordination, contributor rewards and fundraising.
$ELIMU
is the governance token used by the Ξlimu DAO. Contributors get rewarded with $ELIMU
tokens, and token holders can participate in the organization's decision-making.

The elimu.ai software started out as an open-source project in 2015. During the first six years, more than 40 people made contributions. And 10% of the max token supply was distributed to these past contributors when the $ELIMU
token was announced in July 2021.
The max supply of $ELIMU
tokens is capped at 387,000,000.
Following the token's launch in July 2021, no more than 10% of the total supply cap can be minted per year. This restriction has been coded into the token's smart contract.

For weekly updates of the token supply, see our Dune Analytics dashboard. Also find the most up-to-date numbers of circulating supply, and total supply at https://token-api.elimu.ai.
10% of the token supply per year is 38,700,000 $ELIMU
, which equals 3,225,000 $ELIMU
per month. And at the end of each month, $ELIMU
tokens are equally split between rewarding work on content creation, engineering, and distribution:

Token Liquidity,LP Rewards,645000
LP Rewards,Balancer,322500

LP Rewards,Uniswap,64500
While 60% of the monthly token allocation is directed to contributor rewards, the remaining 40% is directed to the DAO Treasury (20%) and to Liquidity Provider (LP) rewards (20%).
The 1,935,000 $ELIMU
tokens reserved for contributor rewards are distributed through the elimu.ai Drip List 💧, which automatically splits the tokens between Content Creation 🎶🎙️
, Engineering & AI/ML 👩🏽💻📱
, and Distribution & Data Collection 🛵💨
.
The 645,000 $ELIMU
tokens that are being set aside each month get added to the DAO's treasury: https://app.aragon.org/#/daos/ethereum/elimu.dao.eth/finance
DAO members can use their governance tokens to vote on how to spend from the DAO's treasury to fund future projects, as long as they align with the organization's mission—Building free open-source learning software for out-of-school children ✨🚀
People who contribute liquidity to the token economy can deposit their liquidity pool tokens and receive rewards. The DApp for liquidity provider rewards is available at https://rewards.elimu.ai.
In order to initiate a new proposal on https://snapshot.org/#/elimu.eth, a DAO member must hold at least 387,000 $ELIMU
tokens.
The monthly token allocations described above can be adjusted through future DAO proposals. Any holder of the $ELIMU
token can vote on proposals, how to allocate funds donated to the DAO's treasury, for example.
The DAO can also decide to adjust the monthly liquidity provider rewards.
Donors have two options when making a donation to the organization: 1) via Drip List, 2) via DAO Treasury
-
If a donor chooses to use the elimu.ai Drip List 💧 to donate funds, there is no need to manually handle the allocation of funds because they will be split automatically.
-
On the other hand, if a donor wants the funds to be handled differently, a donation can be sent to the DAO's Treasury smart contract at
elimu.dao.eth
. And DAO members can then use their$ELIMU
governance tokens to vote on how to allocate the donated funds.
