# 🦊 Project Overview

## 🔍 What is Companeons DAO?

**Companeons DAO** is a multi-layered **Web3 gaming ecosystem and decentralized community** built on the **Solana blockchain**, combining NFT ownership, play-to-earn mechanics, social mining, and DAO governance into one unified platform.

At its core, Companeons DAO is designed to:

* **Reward participation** through tokenized incentives
* **Onboard users into Web3** through gamified, progression-based experiences
* **Distribute power** via DAO governance and staking
* **Connect NFTs, tokens, and gameplay** into a scalable reward system

It is a **living, evolving ecosystem** where your activity—whether chatting in Discord, unlocking characters, holding NFTs, or completing tasks—directly translates into on-chain value.
