DAO Masters

Highlights

• Coalition-based / collaborative process
• Tension between creating formal structures for governance that create accountability/ transparency and having an environment where we are not stifling innovation
• Benevolent “dictators” create guide rails enabling DAOs to move faster
• A constant struggle between how much the core team should be setting the vision and leaving it up to the community to decide
• Include experts’ opinions in the decision-making process
• Have anonymous voting (don’t show eth addresses)
• Don’t show real-time results during voting which could sway someone’s vote
• We need to have different systems for different types of votes
  • on-chain vs off-chain
  • treasury management vs inconsequential decisions
• On-chain votes should be used only if the decision will affect the majority of the DAO
• Delegation ensures that you have enough voter engagement
