Hey everyone, I am very excited about DAO’s and I want to learn everything I can to position myself to work on creating and participating in DAO’s for the rest of my career.

I’m looking for recommendations on where to learn smart contract development and other dev tools for creating DAO’s.

I have heard that Solidity is a good place to start, among other programming languages like Rust, Move, and even JavaScript.

Let me know if you have any suggestions for starting!

Hey everyone,

I run an explainer video agency exclusively for DAOs, and I’m looking to expand my services to better meet the needs of DAO communities. I’d love to hear from you all about what other services or support you feel DAOs could benefit from. Whether it’s strategic consulting, community engagement tools, or something entirely different, I’m all ears.

Your input will be invaluable in shaping the future of my company and ensuring it meets the unique needs of DAOs. Thanks in advance for your insights!

Looking forward to the discussion.

Hi everyone, We are a group of people who are investing in crypto's. We plan to make a DAO, with some sub DAO to diversificate our possibilities. I have some knowledge in coding, especially in POO but not specially in sol. Does anyone know a good service (I've seen Aragorn for example), or do I need to recruit a sol dev ? What was your experiences ?

I'm not sure if I give a fixed amount of governance token to all members or some ratio between how much invested. The second method can derivate to trade the governance token no ? Any returns on that point ?

For this DAO I need also a solution to keeps funds safu (gnosis vault or something else) and possibilities to interact with other smart contract, aave for example. I want also give possibilitie to investors to claim or compound their earnings.

Sorry English is not my born language so ask me if you need some précisions

One of the most powerful applications built on blockchain and cryptocurrency system is Decentralized Finance system. It is shown its influence on the crypto market: in NFTs, in memecoins and etc..

But some of the most valuable and best performing assets + resources are controlled by centralized entities and not accessible to individual crypto investors. I think it is time for us to start buying something cool in the real world.

I am MingDynastyVase, a web3 engineer and NBA fan. My dream is to own shares of Dallas Mavericks team (as my favorite team). But owning a professional sports teams is so hard that even if you are super rick, you might not get a chance to touch this area. The shares are highly centralized, not publicly traded so that illquid. As a fan, the only thing I can do is spending money and hoping one day I can get a signature or some other merches.

But DeFi system can totally change this. We have liquidity here, we have transparency here. The blockchain technology protects the assets from being stolen. So I started a project called "Global Organization Asset Tokenization (GOAT)" aiming to buy shares of professional sports teams and tokenize it to empower the system with trading, loaning and etc..

I am new to Reddit so this might look like a spam, but feel free to check my Twitter and also review our first smart contract: https://etherscan.io/address/0x46c5264728af4dbe274929f9509fbeabf8cca2c9

This SimpleSecureSponsorship contract allows user to deposit USDC token to it and can withdraw at any time. If one day we really get the chance to buy sports teams, funders can turn on the Vouch flag and the tokens can be liquidated to buy those shares.

We also have a Discord server set up. Feel free to chat with me and ask for an invite. The whole thing is still very early, we are trying to build a team and will strat from there!

Thanks for your time, cheers!

Abstract

We propose a novel model for teaching and learning called Decentralized Autonomous Education (DAE for short). DAE exploits the dual principles of freedom and responsibility, meritocracy and inclusivity, privacy and transparency in the educational process. It also fits well the philosophy of blockchain technology, and more generally of Web3 (the third iteration of the World Wide Web) specifically the tenets of decentralization, disintermediation, incentive and sovereignty of the individual. In this paper, we fully illustrate the DAE model, highlighting the theoretical and practical links between DAE and Web3, dissecting the pros and cons of the proposed learning method and reviewing related pedagogical approaches. Finally, we describe a case study of the DAE teaching model.

Seeds of Science is a scientific journal (funded through Scott Alexander's ACX grants program) publishing speculative or non-traditional research articles. Peer review is conducted through community-based voting and commenting by a diverse network of reviewers (or "gardeners" as we call them). Comments that critique or extend the article (the "seed of science") in a useful manner are published in the final document following the main text.

We have just sent out a manuscript for review, "Decentralized Autonomous Education", that may be of interest to some in the DAO community so I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in joining us as a gardener and providing feedback on the article. As noted above, this is an opportunity to have your comment recorded in the scientific literature (comments can be made with real name or pseudonym).

It is free to join as a gardener and anyone is welcome (we currently have gardeners from all levels of academia and outside of it). Participation is entirely voluntary - we send you submitted articles and you can choose to vote/comment or abstain without notification (so no worries if you don't plan on reviewing very often but just want to take a look here and there at the articles people are submitting).

To register, you can fill out this google form. From there, it's pretty self-explanatory - I will add you to the mailing list and send you an email that includes the manuscript, our publication criteria, and a simple review form for recording votes/comments. If you would like to just take a look at this article without being added to the mailing list, then just reach out (info@theseedsofscience.org) and say so. Happy to answer any questions about the journal through email or in the comments below.

Hey everyone,

Super excited to share a project I've been working on – a proof-of-concept for a devtool focused specifically on DAOs. Think of it like a VSCode tailored for building and managing DAOs.

The Idea: A new productivity platform specifically tailored for DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations). It draws inspiration from VS Code's flexibility.

Concept: A modular workspace where apps like task management (Trello-like), voting systems (Snapshot-like), documentation tools, and more can be seamlessly integrated.

Key Features:

Public Workspaces: Designed for transparency and easy onboarding of new contributors.

App Integrations: Aims to streamline workflows by directly embedding information. For instance, a passed proposal on Snapshot would be automatically updated within the workspace.

Why DAOs? Decentralized teams often face tool fragmentation. This platform aims to provide a unified, collaborative, and transparent workspace designed specifically for DAO needs.

Here's what I've done so far:

• Conceptualized the Tool: I wrote about my idea in a previous Reddit post.
• Built the PoC: Put my coding skills to use and created a working prototype.
• Entered Solana Hackathon: I'm pushing myself to compete and gain visibility.
• Documented the Journey: Wrote a Hashnode article to share my process.
• Set up Twitter Presence: You can follow the project.
• Created an Introduction video

What I Need From You

I'm at the stage where community input is EVERYTHING. I am confused on what to do next after this? Should I move on to developing a concrete project or should I reach out to some DAO users or maintainers for review. If I chose to go with later option, how should I find them?

Been on Warpcast for a few weeks now and would want to check out and support your DAO on WC.

Hi all! It is planned to launch a DAO and a token, and to attract attention to this project it is necessary to place information in the media. What do you think are the best media for this? If it is not prohibited to post links here, I will be glad if someone shares. This can be either ordinary media like Forbes, or those that specialize in blockchain, cryptocurrency and everything connected with it. It can also be websites and telegram channels, WhatsApp, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and ex-Twitter. Thanks to everyone who will respond.

Hello! I am an aspiring business analyst and I have a task to find information to launch a DAO and a token. I am interested in the experience of people who have encountered this and launched their own DAO projects or tokens. Basically I need answers to these questions:

1. What stage of the project is allowed?

2. What are the limits on the amount?

3. What are the fees/payments?

But I will also be glad if someone can answer in more detail. Thank you in advance.

Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) could revolutionize college/university student societies, offering a new dimension in governance and engagement. DAOs facilitate transparent, democratic decision-making, allowing every club member to influence outcomes directly. This system enhances financial transparency, streamlines membership and event management, and fosters a participatory culture. Implementing DAOs prepares students to integrate DAO Interfacing Software into their future leadership roles in society, acclimating them to decentralized governance principles. As students progress into professional realms, their DAO experience will drive broader adoption of blockchain technologies, heralding a future where inclusivity and efficiency underpin societal structures and leadership paradigms.

Hey everyone, I'm a developer with an idea for a new kind of productivity platform focused on DAOs and decentralized teams.

The Concept

Imagine a workspace environment inspired by VS Code's flexibility, where instead of code extensions, you have modular apps:

• Task management (like Trello)

• Voting systems (like Snapshot)

• Documentation (like Confluence)

• API testing (like Postman)

• ...and more

Key Features

• Public workspaces: Imagine your DAO's workspace is like an open-door meeting – anyone interested can jump in and get on the same page. New contributors? No problem! They can check the docs, see what's on the task board, and understand what's been voted on, right away.

• App integrations: This is where things get magical. Say someone makes a proposal on Snapshot, and it passes. Instead of copy-pasting that into your docs, the results can be directly embedded. Imagine a QA forum has a bug discussion instead of a messy email or third medi communication chain, it can be linked directly to the relevant task in your tracker.

Why DAOs?

Decentralized teams often struggle because essential tools are scattered across different platforms. This aims to unify that experience.

I need your feedback!

• Would you use a tool like this in your DAO or project?

• Are there specific app integrations you'd find super useful?

• What concerns do you have about this concept?

I'm building an MVP now. Let me know what you think – your insights could really shape this!

Hey DAOists!
We recently launched a writing contest with just under a month left to enter called Opt Out. It's all about Autonomy, Identity & other self-sovereign things brought through in DAO tech :D
There's a $9000 prize pool for the best writers - Whether you're a Sci-Fi fanatic, a mathematician, a poet or even an extreme biker, it'd be a pleasure to see an interesting piece from you as long is it relates to Self-sovereignty, Autonomy or Identity!

Anyone here going to the April month-long event for Daos in Bali?

We usually don’t allow self promotion posts but if you have a DAO, share them with the community here.

Would love to check out what y’all are building.

No scam DAOs. Best way is to post your DAO and what does it do/goal of your DAO/why does it exist?

I am looking to get involved in great DAO Projects to get practical knowledge.

Hi, I was involved in this Rome DAO but when it falied, I forgot to check my stacked sRome.

The website is active, but I can't unstake my sRome even if it seems possible.

Can you help me please?

Guys - Seeking your opinion on an important topic.

Background: Over a year back I had posted some stuff on creating a platform for legal token offerings in the United States. After lots of sweat and a couple of million dollars, the platform is in business. We launched one token offering this month and two more are coming up next month.

Haven't yet added multilateral trading of tokens but that is likely to become available in about a year.

Question: Is there any value in launching a DAO to own and operate this company for the benefit of the community in general?

PS: I know US securities laws very well. So, it is all legal regulatory-compliant stuff I'm talking about. DAO will be constituted as a limited liability legal entity if I decide to go this way.

Wondering if there are any DAOs that are focused on real estate investments?

Hey guys !

I'm discovering the concept of Data DAOs and I think it's awesome to combine with LL.M technology.

Is anyone aware of such a project ?

I discovered it here : https://datadao.io/

Bitpacs, short for Bitcoin Publicly Auditable Cooperatives, should allow groups to emulate decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) on the Bitcoin blockchain.

While DAOs have traditionally been associated with Ethereum, Bitpacs make it possible to achieve similar functionality using Bitcoin's inherent capabilities.

Bitpacs are essentially multisignature Bitcoin wallets with added transparency features. Unlike traditional multisig setups where participants are private, Bitpac members are publicly disclosed. This enables public auditability and transparency for the cooperative's actions and decisions.

The combination of multisig wallets and carefully structured Bitcoin transactions allows Bitpacs to mimic DAO capabilities. Multisig ensures shared control of funds. Transaction signing thresholds mandate approval percentages for spending. Time constraints can be placed on voting rounds. Platforms can gate membership based on criteria like assets held or Bitcoin contributed, which is verifiable on-chain.

Bitpacs enable new possibilities for the Bitcoin community. They allow for community-driven funding of public goods and projects with transparency. Decentralized governance empowers groups to make collective spending and allocation decisions. This builds trust and fosters collaboration between members united by shared interests.

Some examples of potential Bitpac use cases include funding open source developers, managing organizational treasuries, and crowdfunding campaigns. The transparency of actions and decision-making processes offered by Bitpacs makes them well-suited for these applications.

A key benefit of Bitpacs versus DAOs on other chains is that all transactions settle on Bitcoin's base layer. There are no additional trusted layers or side chains. This makes Bitpacs a robust solution as Bitcoin network activity continues growing over time.

Bitpacs demonstrate Bitcoin's ability to enable decentralized governance and cooperation, without changes to Bitcoin's protocol. As more niche communities form around Bitcoin, Bitpacs can offer them the tools for organization, treasury management, and on-chain governance tailored to their needs.

Hey fellow DAO enthusiasts,
I hope you're all navigating the decentralized landscape with enthusiasm! I recently came across an article (https://decrypt.co/95039/metamask-consensys-30-million-users) on Decrypt that got me thinking about the potential drawbacks of decentralization, particularly in light of MetaMask's staggering growth. With MetaMask's rapid rise to 30 million users it has now indicated its intention to launch its own DAO and corresponding Token. My chief concern is the two tiers of the Employee-Led DAO and the Leadership Committee. My initial reaction was that this was just another form of consolidating control in an otherwise decentralized landscape. Would love to hear your thoughts as we navigate this exciting time but I am advocating for putting the metaphorical break on how we utilize DAO'S going forward especially in the context of a large corporation such as ConsenSys. As always I have been scarred enough from my experience with the initial hack on Ethereum's first DAO in 2016 resulting in the hard fork we now know as Ethereum Classic.

Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) are revolutionizing corporate structures and governance through blockchain technology. DAOs, as self-governing digital entities, eliminate inefficiency and redundancy by fostering trust and streamlining processes. Through operating on smart contracts DAOs ensure transparency, efficiency, and a shift towards self-sovereign governance. This paradigm shift echoes the ancient practices of Athenian democracy and inter-tribal consensus in tribal governance system, modernizing them through trustless consensus logic and eliminating the need for traditional trust-based checks and balances. DAOs promise a future of economic decentralization, programmatic value, and distributed decision-making, reshaping the landscape of corporate and social interactions. As we stand on the brink of this transformative era, it's time to explore the potential of DAOs to create a more transparent, equitable, and decentralized world.

Tell me your favorite token launch pads that you would recommend

Curious what your thoughts are based on the DAO performance last year, what needs to be changed for things to get better this year?

DAOs is sort of the default governance mechanism for many onchain projects especially defi. There were many that came up whenever airdrops occured etc and users could participate.

What are your thoughts on what we might expect in 2024?

Also, similar to Ethereum chain, is DAI unfreezable on other chains as well?

In this article I explore how inflation and DAOs can moderate some of the centralizing effects of Fixed Sum Blockchains.
