FLAMING GALAHS

A technology collective exclusively for Australia’s Uni students

Join our Discord

Flaming Galahs brings together 5,000 of Australia’s most talented university students in an experimental collective of creators and builders who collaborate to make a living through innovative technologies.

Made by students for students , the project aims to create an environment in which the collective can self-organise and create shared value using new enabling technologies like NFTs, DAOs, Community Tokens and DeFi.

HOW IT WORKS

Galah Shadow

STEP 1: JOIN THE COLLECTIVE

Galahs are the larrikins of the bird world and as a species of parrot, they gather in a Pandemonium rather than a flock.

It’s much more than a jpeg. Each NFT is totally unique 3D Galah inspired by the great larrikins and characters of Australia.

Your NFT gets you exclusive membership and the opportunity to learn and earn with a like-minded group of talented young Aussie creators, builders and operators.

You can of course show your Galah NFT off to friends as a profile picture but that’s just the start....

STEP 2: CREATE SHARED VALUE

Funding from VC firms, businesses and universities build up a treasury that is owned by the Pandemonium and will be used to fund projects that it votes to support.

The Pandemonium is owned and operated by members. It functions as a decentralised autonomous organisation (or DAO) with members able to influence its strategy and direction.

The Galah NFT grants members governance rights in the DAO allowing them to make proposals and vote on them. Voting influence is tied to their $GALAH token holdings. Tokens can be earned through value-adding play-to-earn activities.

STEP 3: IDENTIFY AWESOME PROJECTS

A key purpose of the Treasury is to provide resources in the form of grants for student originated technology projects that have potential to create significant value.

Innovative technology projects are nominated for grant funding by a member raising a proposal. Members vote on the proposal to determine whether the project receives a grant or not.

In exchange for the grant funding, the treasury receives an allocation of tokens in the funded project.

STEP 4: INCUBATE SELECTED PROJECTS

Successful project proposals receive grants. Cryptocurrecy in the Pandemonium’s treasury vault is automatically transferred via smart contract to the project team’s wallet in exchange for tokens in that project.

Supported projects also get to tap into the Galah talent pool through the Wire, a job board where open positions and requests for assistance can be shared with the Galah community.

We think new projects will benefit hugely by tapping into the collective talent of students who are learning web3 skills and developing their knowledge through their involvement in the Pandemonium.

STEP 5: SUPPORT MORE PROJECTS

The launchpad helps a member project get off the ground and be successful. In the process, it helps grow the value of that project’s tokens, which, in turn, grows the value of the Flaming Galah Treasury.

A growing treasury allows for more grants to be made available for more student projects.

The collective NFT

THE COLLECTIVE

We believe Australia's students are the best positioned to build era-defining products and services over the next decade.

After all, these tech-savvy, entrepreneurial and creative young people grew up in the age of massively multiplayer games, organizing gaming sessions with friends on Discord, buying Dogecoin with their pocket money and feeding their curiosity through self-driven research.

BENEFITS

Being part of the Flaming Galah collective gives members a range of ongoing benefits to learn, earn, make friends and have fun.

EDUCATION

Members will get access to exclusive online content, including talks with some of the leading web3 founders, technologists, investors and creators.
Through token incentives the project will foster a culture of upskilling members by incentivising knowledgeable Galahs to share their insights, answer questions and curate useful resources.

EMPLOYMENT

As the Web3 sector explodes with investment in projects using frontier technologies, joining the Flaming Galah ecosystem will help students become web3 early adopters and build knowledge and skills that are in high demand by employers.
Technology start-ups will be able to find great talent by posting their jobs on the Wire - the job board for Galahs which will be visible to all members, backers and advisors. A place to employ and to be employed.

COMMUNITY

The Galah NFT gives members token-gated access to the Pandemonium Discord server where members become part of the community, and to exclusive in-person events and activities.
Galah’s can join other like-minded members in self-organising squads that do work for the Pandemonium, form new ventures and offer services to others.

TOKEN VALUE

$GALAH tokens have real value and will be liquid - they represent a share of the Pandemonium’s balance sheet and its capacity for future earnings. Players can unlock value in their tokens by staking them for rewards and/or selling them via Automated Market Makers (AMM’s) or decentralised exchanges.
Galahs can also help grow the value of their $GALAH tokens, directly getting the rewards of their own efforts.

FREE NFT

The founders, being students themselves, know how financially challenging University life is. Because of this, the project NFTs are completely free. That’s right, you can gain access to a like-minded student community with a huge knowledge base as well as opportunities for grants, for free. But what's the catch? Only the 5,000 most engaged and eager-to-learn students in our discord will get whitelisted and be eligible to access this opportunity. All you'll need is less than >$1 of Solana in your wallet to cover gas fees.

FLAMING GALAH NFT

The Galah is the larrikin of the bird kingdom - a loveable creature who makes a fool of themselves but isn't afraid to laugh at themselves when everyone else starts laughing at them. We believe this represents the early adopters into this new and exciting space while also linking back to our proud country of Australia.

Unlike most NFT projects, the Flaming Galah characters are being created as high quality 3D assets by the team's talented 3D artist, @pichichix, whose world class character work features in many popular game titles. Each Galah has a combination of character traits from Aussie icons which make them totally unique. These traits include clothing, headwear, eyewear and others.

Galah NFT utility comes from the play-to-earn mechanics that allow for re-thinking how young people spend leisure time online. They offer the potential for players to:

  • have ownership in the games they play;
  • generate revenue from the time and effort they spend in those games;
  • and ultimately, build themselves a better life.

Holders of the Galah NFT also gain access to a community of talented, like-minded individuals providing them with networking opportunities as well as the opportunity to be awarded grants and for your project to be added to the launch-pad within the Pandemonium.

TOKENOMICS

The Flaming Galah tokenomics model is designed to foster an ecosystem with self-sustaining growth while striking a balance between short and long term objectives. The distribution is planned over 4 years during and after which the DAO will decide how to allocate the remaining tokens.

Two tokens exist within the ecosystem:

THE GALAH NFT

Only 5,000 tokens minted.

Non-fungible and exclusively for verified active students. Your NFT has utility as the member’s avatar in the Pandemonium metaverse and confers rights for participation in governance through proposals and voting. It also acts as a membership card for exclusive member events and activities.

THE $GALAH TOKEN

Capped at 100 million tokens.

Tokens are accumulated by members through play-to-earn activities. They represent the value of the Pandemonium’s economy sheet and its capacity for future earnings. Players can unlock the value in their tokens by staking them for rewards and/or selling them via decentralised exchanges.

Galah Representation

THE TEAM

The Flaming Galah project is for students by students. It is founded by University of Queensland first year students, Niel and Hein Reitmann. In high school they won multiple entrepreneurship awards and worked as digital marketers to support their living costs.

Excited by the potential of web3 and aghast at the financial burden that comes with life as a student, they founded Flaming Galahs as a platform to help students tap into the massive opportunities at the frontier of innovative technologies by learning, building and earning.
