Highlights

• Twelve months ago, there were 130,000 token holders. Today, 1.7M token holders ⇒130X increase
• About 4,000 DAOs listed on DeepDAO
  • Aragon wanted to know how many of these DAOs were active.
  • They determined whether a DAO was active by seeing if DAOs were putting out proposals
  • Only 40% of the 4,000 organizations were active during the prior month
• Most DAOs are run by an intermediate builder:
  • web2 entrepreneur/executive
  • creative with an audience
  • influencer
  • community builder
  • product person
• Problems builders experience:
  • Tokenomics
  • Staying legal
  • Contributor-reward framework
  • Onboarding
  • Community management
  • Tooling
  • Confusion (it is a nascent space with complex information)
• Builders spend 6 months to a year learning the DAO space, experimenting and testing
• DAOs are getting nicher and nicher
• The next 10K DAOs will come from the same place as the next 10K startups
• DAOs’ tooling needs to be:
  • Simple
  • Modular
  • Adaptable
• DAO tooling will define the next DAO generation
  • If we are building the next DAO tooling for developers, then the next 10,000 DAOs will be for developers.
  • If we are building the next DAO tooling for creators, the next 10,000 DAOs will be for creators.
• DAO Ops
  • Community
  • PR/Marketing
  • Business Development
  • Treasury
  • Product
  • Engineering
  • People
• DAO tooling impact
  • Tool → Culture → Coordination process → Tool
• Aragon is building an adaptable new platform that will have many integrations
