About Formosa Art Bank DAO (FAB DAO)

FAB DAO, also known as Formosa Art Bank DAO, is a self-governing organization for charity NFTs since 2021. The largest charity NFT fundraising project in Taiwan, the "Project Percentage, %", brought together cross-disciplinary organizations and individuals to create a new system and style in Taiwan NFT market that combines the theme of charity, art and culture.

FAB DAO focuses on minting and selling non-profit NFTs, creating artist and collector communities, building blockchain experiences and designing blockchain education for the public. With goodness and eternity as our starting point, we are building a connected Web3 metaverse. We will apply the good features of blockchain to take the real actions in the real world.

Background

As FAB DAO became formally DAO in April 2023, the core team handed over the management of FAB DAO to the communities. Different initiatives and ideas were raised and discussed within FAB DAO.

At the same time, Public Goods ecosystems grew under the support of Gitcoin and other organizations. As one of the pioneers in Public Goods, GreenPill would like to share its experience and develop local chapters for different cities over the world.

When two communities connected with each other, the idea of Taiwan Chapter was born.

Mission & Vision, Value alignment

Green Sofa aligns with the mission and vision of GreenPill, which is to build a global network society transcending national and cultural boundaries, while exporting regenerative digital infrastructure to the world.

As one team under FAB DAO, Green Sofa aims to explore the possiblity of collaboration wtih Greenpill international and FAB DAO. It is a school for FAB DAO learning from GreenPill about Public Goods, e.g. QF/QV, Gitcoin Grants Stack. It is also a laboratory for FAB DAO to apply the knowledge, kick off hands-on projects in smaller scale, to gain local experiences and feedback to FAB DAO and GreenPill.

Critical success factors

Tamagochi at Riverside Hypercert

🌍 The Challenge We’re Tackling

In rapidly urbanized cities like Taipei, rivers are often overlooked, over-dredged, and stripped of biodiversity. The Huangxi River (Southern Sulfur Creek), once teeming with life, has seen its ecosystem disrupted by aggressive vegetation clearing and human detachment. Shy native species like the White-breasted Waterhen have nearly vanished from view. If we don't act now, we risk losing not only vital habitats but also the community's connection to the very nature flowing beside them.

📜 Our Solution

Tamagochi at Riverside brings together environmental education, civic action, and Web3 technology to rewild our imaginations—and our rivers. Partnering with Huangxi Environmental Education Programme (HEEP) and Formosa Art Bank DAO (FAB DAO), we designed a playful, powerful campaign where students and citizens alike complete ecological missions, earn interactive NFTs, and re-learn how to live with rivers as neighbors. Through school programs, community workshops, and NFT collectibles, we’re rebuilding bonds between people and place—and helping wildlife thrive again.

🌱 Our Organisation / Community

We are a collaboration between HEEP, a grassroots environmental education initiative, and FAB DAO, a Web3 collective focused on public good. Together, we’ve built a vibrant, decentralized community of educators, parents, artists, technologists, and river-lovers. We’ve reached 50,000+ local residents, 20+ community partners, and over 3,000 students and parents from Mingde Elementary School alone.

📝 What This Hypercert Represents

Between March and December 2023, we ran school-wide ecological challenges, issued 300+ proof-of-attendance NFTs (POAPs), hosted over 10 public events, and piloted habitat recovery in 2 riverbank zones. We replaced top-down conservation messaging with community-led learning. Students adopted digital Waterhen “pets,” learned through play, and became stewards of real-world habitats—helping restore native biodiversity and reshape urban watershed governance.

✅ Proof That It’s Working

Native species like the White-breasted Waterhen have dewelled to rehabilitated zones. Over 300 NFTs were minted to mark engagement. Student feedback and observational data confirm increased ecological awareness and behavioral change.
