Digital worker solidarity

One person under pressure. A network standing with them.

IDWSA is an international nonprofit DAO protecting people whose livelihoods depend on the internet through collective action, expert support and community-backed funding.

Why IDWSA

Digital livelihoods deserve collective protection.

A freelancer, developer, creator, seller or remote professional often stands alone against a platform, client or public attack. IDWSA turns isolated people into a support system with a shared treasury, expertise and collective voice.

Unjustified account or channel suspension
Frozen payouts and non-payment by clients
Threats, harassment, doxxing and digital attacks
Legal, administrative or platform pressure

Beyond financial assistance

A whole community stands behind every member.

When one person faces unfair pressure, IDWSA turns an isolated case into a coordinated response — bringing visibility, credibility and the strength of a united network.

1

Public visibility

With the member’s consent, IDWSA brings a verified case into the open through a coordinated public position and campaign.

2

A united voice

Members stand behind one shared position, making it harder to isolate, intimidate or silence one person.

3

Action behind the words

Public support is reinforced by legal expertise, digital security and financial assistance when the case requires it.

Two treasuries · one mission

One contribution. Two accountable treasuries.

The split applies to membership dues and unrestricted contributions. A campaign dedicated to a specific case goes entirely to that case.

Solidarity Fund

DAO-governed protection

Funds cannot be withdrawn at will. Once a request is reviewed, members or an authorized committee approve support and the contract executes the decision.

From request to response

Human review. Collective decision. Precise execution.

01

Private request

A member submits documents and a case summary. Personal data is never published on-chain.

02

Fact review

The committee verifies membership, evidence, legal grounds and the proposed support budget.

03

Member vote

The community sees an anonymized recommendation and votes: one verified member, one vote.

04

Execution

Once quorum is reached, the smart contract sends the approved amount to the member, counsel or provider.

Emergency support

Three on-call committee members may approve a limited amount without a community-wide vote, followed by an anonymized report.

Decision thresholds

The committee approves small amounts. Standard and large grants move to a member vote with a higher quorum.

Protection committee

Five roles stand between urgency and a rushed decision.

The committee serves a limited term, signs confidentiality commitments and must disclose every conflict of interest.

Committee structure

5 seats across 4 review stages

Mandate → decision
  1. Community mandate2 seats

    Member representatives

    Elected by the community to represent member interests.

  2. Legal review1 seat

    Legal specialist

    Assesses the legal position and risks of each case.

    Security specialist

    Reviews digital evidence, threats and attacks.

  4. Independent oversight1 seat

Membership and voice

Verified, non-transferable membership. A larger contribution never creates a larger vote.

Protective veto

The founder may trigger a 72-hour emergency pause. Extending it requires two of three Veto Council members.

Community override

Members may override a veto with a 75% vote, except where execution would violate the law.

Organizational operations

A DAO should not vote on every bill and every working hour.

Authority to operate

IDWSA administers the 40% Operations Fund within the organization's mission and approved operating budget.

Formal compensation

Compensation is documented and becomes personal income only after an authorized payment.

Clean accounting

The operations wallet and personal wallet are never mixed.

Long-term reserve

Unused funds carry forward to sustain the team and infrastructure.

System boundaries

Solidarity does not replace due process.

Protect against injustice

Support covers persecution, non-payment, platform suspension and digital attacks.

Never shield misconduct

Fraud, violence and verified abuse do not receive collective protection.

Preserve privacy

Sensitive material stays with the committee and counsel; only minimal data goes on-chain.

Make money traceable

Decisions, amounts and spending purposes appear in clear financial reporting.
