DAOs Weekly - Week 36

A weekly resource covering DAOs and their governance

Welcome to DAOs Weekly!

Each week, we curate a collection of the week’s best tweets, articles, blogs, essays, and podcasts on distributed organizations and their governance, as well as weekly governance updates on DAOs from Boardroom’s Governance Scribes!

Governance Scribes are helping to solve a fundamental pain point for DAOs: the DAO information problem. It is simply too hard for most individuals to keep up with everything going on in the DAOs they’re a part of. This makes effective participation in governance more challenging than it should be.

Each week, Scribes put together a Weekly Update containing information about live and recent votes, discussions in their DAO’s forums, relevant news, and more. Scribes will also be creating Governance Guides and other resources to help their fellow DAO members get involved in governance. Keep scrolling to see which DAOs have weekly updates this week.

As always, reply here or reach out to us on the Boardroom Discord with ideas or questions. And if you’re interested in becoming a Governance Scribe for a DAO you’re a part of, apply here.

Another long thread on DAOs. There would be millions of miniDAOs. They would come together to form composable and modularized bigDAOs that would have millions of people working for them. Thread 👇 1/n

What is the best non-financial metric to determine a DAO’s success?

Industries that were *illegal* 10 years ago: • recreational cannabis • sports betting • equity crowdfunding Yes, cryptocurrencies/NFTs/DAOs have real outstanding tax & legal questions, but the arc of regulation of high demand consumer businesses bends toward legalization.
