1313The beginning of a migration is usually imperceptible. First comes discontent, then comes the decision to either stick with inadequate, but familiar circumstances or to try something new and foreign. Eventually, someone makes the jump. A few others join. Then, seemingly all at once, a rush precipitates a trend, signaling the migration's final wave before broad and broader adoption.

2727DAO tooling is also proliferating on Landscape, Tlon's interface for navigation on Urbit and a platform from which developers can release apps directly to users with minimal effort. [Holium](https://www.holium.com), a team working specifically on unifying the DAO tech stack, released a ballot app last month that allows for flexible voting, delegating, and result-related actions. [PointDAO](https://pointdao.notion.site/pointdao/Point-DAO-bc8fc478b67a49ac92358a2a40d77d35), a collective of more than two hundred people that owns a galaxy, serves as a prototype for other communities to crowdfund purchases of Urbit address space—a procedure that they are aiming to make replicable and scalable.

29−Growing your own society on Urbit can be as straightforward as using ownership of one token as the prerequisite for claiming another token (in other words: token gating a token). The Urbit Foundation just funded a [grant](https://urbit.org/grants) that simplifies the process of deploying Urbit IDs via another NFT's minting. Development is still ongoing, but [Dusko](https://dusko.world), the NFT project that received the grant, did a trial run last week to coincide with the release of a fresh batch of character pfps. For each mint, the collector could [custody](https://www.mintdusko.world) their very own planet—all authenticated via Metamask. (To track their progress, join ~panrut-ragbyl/dusko.) Dusko's approach represents the first desire line of its kind, and other communities are likely to take their path.

3131The adage goes something like as soon as you notice a migration is underway, you've already missed the boat. But there's no boat to miss because an overabundance of communities could never exist on Urbit—it's as vast as it is cozy. Angling to get your community onboard? Share planets with a NFT-based community using Valve, the distribution mechanism Dusko is working on, or apply to build your own version. Crowdsource the funds for a star. Set up your group and send out a [flare](https://tirrel.io): everyone else will follow.
