Stateless Weekly - 19

A weekly resource covering DAOs and their governance

Welcome to Stateless Weekly!

Each week, we curate a collection of the best tweets, articles, blogs, essays, and podcasts on distributed organizations and their governance, as well as weekly governance updates on certain DAO protocols and projects. Keep scrolling to find those you’re interested in and follow the links to join the discussion and vote.

Finally, a request: We want to hear from you! How can we help you stay up to date on what matters most to you in the world of DAOs and governance? What are things you want to learn more about? Do you have a project you want to add to our weekly recaps?

As always, reply here or reach out to us on the Boardroom Discord.

Mark my words DAO voting will lead to DAO political parties Voting is not a consensus mechanism, it’s a conflict resolution mechanism

Reuben Bramanathan @bramanathan

If your objective is to build a DAO, you're doing it wrong Build a community, a cooperative, or a collective that just happens to be a DAO

Rough thinking around three levels DAOs—multi-organizational networks aligned through a token Guilds, squads—teams assembled around production, represented by DAO token ownership, can be multi-DAO Raid, sprint—temporary missions that teams coordinate around, can be cross-DAO

1/ A DAO's labor timescale is somewhere between a hackathon and a startup hackathon: hours or days DAO: weeks or months startup: years It's hard to make something meaningful in hours or days. But not all ideas require years of work. Smart contracts let code run perpetually.

Mason Nystrom @masonnystrom

The bull market has caused DAO treasuries to balloon over the past year, with the top ten treasuries now possessing balance sheets worth hundreds of millions, or in some cases, billions of dollars. However, DAOs in their current form are set up for financial failure. 1/
