Hello all!

DAOed is an online platform that will offer free blog posts, news articles, and information on the DAO industry as well as certificate programs where users can build and solidify their knowledge on the topic. We aim to collaborate with DAO development agencies, DAO governance services, and other organizations shaping the industry to shape an experience of learning to building. The goal is to become the go-to resource for aspiring DAO organizers and members, providing the foundational training needed before stepping into their new roles.

This DAO education platform is meant to fulfill the needs of starting or building on your fluency in blockchain and DAO operations. There is an increasing need for literacy of new technology to make yourself stand out professionally; we believe we can create an environment of support and provide valuable experience and knowledge through top-tier online certifications and up-to-date news and resources.

I am looking to collect individuals who are very passionate about the future of DAOs and believe in the possibility of mass adoption. I also value the goal of increasing access to education and creating solutions that uplift people of all social statuses.

please PM me if you're interested or have questions.
Thanks!

Lately, I’ve been digging into what makes a decentralized launchpad truly stand out, especially with Daosis launching on Sapphire. Unlike a typical platform, this launchpad seems to serve as an entirely new model for how startups and communities can connect. With Oasis Foundation’s support, Daosis is creating a launch environment that’s private, fair, and community-driven—a combination that’s honestly pretty rare.

One thing that really caught my eye is how Daosis uses privacy-focused tools like sealed bid auctions. This setup prevents bots and manipulation, so token distribution and governance votes stay confidential and unbiased. For those of us used to seeing these processes manipulated, this feels like a refreshing approach to launchpad transparency.

Beyond that, Daosis is offering practical tools like mini IDOs and token minters, which streamline the launch process for DeFi projects and make it easier for communities to rally around promising ideas. Plus, with DAO governance, users can collectively decide where resources should go and which projects deserve support.

Oasis Foundation seems to be going all-in to support initiatives like these. With more projects springing up thanks to Oasis grants, we might be on the brink of a real shift in how decentralized applications get launched and grow in Web3. Will this spark a wider trend? It’s definitely something to keep an eye on.

its invite only for now, but the concept is cool

We currently have a platform based business that operates in the beverage secourir for local independent producers. They produce locally and sell within their own territory through us. We acquire customers for them and support them with our fully automated logistics and vendor management tech. We are currently in (craft beer) but will launch our tech in non alcoholic, coffee roasters and spirits soon.

We would like to apply our model and tech to other suitable countries / territories / states soon.

Because of its decentralised mission, is there a place for a dao within or alongside our business and if so what form would it take and what purpose would it serve?

I have my own ideas on this but am keen to hear it from the experts.

Thank you and lmk if you have any further questions

I’m currently working on customized services for DAOs and Web3 businesses, and I’m curious:

What’s the most impactful way to offer these services to a DAO or Protocol?

1️⃣ Reaching out directly to key members on social media
2️⃣ Submitting a formal governance proposal
3️⃣ Participating in official channels (Discord, Telegram, etc.)

What’s worked best for your protocol? Let’s hear your experiences! 👇

what dao metrics are useful to measure member contribution?

I've been looking at starting a DAO to allow private access towards, raise funds, purchase, and compensation towards growing a project in the media and entertainment space. Short version is we create / produce a show, provide the rundown / script, and license editions of that show to various levels. So a national show that's produced from a local down to the zip code level as well... So a sports program from my zip 12345 would be different from your zip, district, city, parish, county, etc...

segments produced on the blockchain can be licensed to be repurposed / remixed... so a license could be granted to do a sports show that only show offensive tds, defensive tds, penalties, water breaks, etc

I'm talking about integrations from a DePIN to Tokens / NFTs / Points System to create a Fully Decentralized Media Ecosystem...

The issues seems to be the USA seems to allow no real fundraising path that won't get a knock from the S to E to the C

International DAOs seem to be anything goes...

Hi guys. I would really appreciate any advice anyone could offer around the subject of what dao governance structure could be used for a project named frequencyvillage.com We are building a planetary network of 144 strategically located bioregional hubs, which will monitor, protect, preserve and enhance the 185 bioregions around the world.

Its purpose will be investment, treasury stewardship, decision making.

Anyone got any ideas or could put on onto anyone or anything?

Many Many thanks

hello everyone

has anyone experience with creating a Dao? my Friends and i have a good Community and we want to push it and then build a DAO. our Dao will include a Investment Dao and a whitlist Dao. we think we want to gib the peeople access through an NFT.

do you have any tipps? would love to hear Stories and experiences from you guys!

This white paper proposes a groundbreaking shift in governance by advocating for decentralized collaboration platforms powered by blockchain technology. By disrupting outdated political systems plagued by inefficiencies and the principal-agent problem, these platforms empower communities—especially in developing regions—to directly control their resources and decision-making. The integration of decentralized systems across sectors like infrastructure, energy, and public services paves the way for a new era of governance that is transparent, equitable, and resilient. As traditional institutions falter in addressing global challenges, decentralized governance offers a bold, transformative alternative that can redefine power dynamics and unleash the full potential of communities worldwide. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KUi_oBizeb9jQKryfjNOszjrmTQ0TXNkAqgvQQrs4HY/edit?usp=sharing

A few months back I came across an intriguing conversation on Twitter Space where Oasis hosted Puncar, a co-founder of Bankless Consulting and one of the authors of How to DAO. It triggered a chain reaction as I explored the concept and scope of DAO, and its place in an evolving web3 space. Now, the idea of DAO as the future of governance has been around for some time. The reason why it is important now is that we finally have proper privacy solutions to make it work.

The core tenets of decentralization, transparency, and immutability were always the cornerstones of DAO governance. It embodies the "government of the people, by the people, and for the people" and translates into a setting for optimized community management and decision-making. But where everything is transparent, how to ensure zero manipulation and maximum fairness? Confidential DAO voting is the answer.

Here, Oasis has a part to play. With Sapphire runtime, the only confidential EVM in production, Oasis enables confidential smart contracts that can be customized to produce flexible private state. Resultant use case: secret ballots. Simply stated, it involves these steps:

• User submits vote on-chain for a DAO which can be on Oasis or any EVM-compatible network.
• The DAO relays the vote to Sapphire's confidential compute environment encrypted in secure enclaves by TEEs.
• If using another EVM project, then the Oasis Privacy Layer comes into play where transaction fees are paid via a gas station network. Users don't need to get Oasis tokens for this and can pay for gas with home network tokens.
• Original ballots and vote results are both transferred to the DAO's home network once processing in Sapphire is complete.
• The actual voter and the number of votes remain hidden until the end of the poll as the entire process is abstracted away from the DAO's governance mechanism.

Projects like the Aragon, Snapshot, and MolochDAO have already explored privacy-preserving techniques. With its expertise in smart privacy, Oasis provides a streamlined process in implementing confidential DAO voting. The scope and impact is game-changing because its applicability is beyond web3. It has all the hallmarks to become the future of fair governance and all elections.

In 2021, I discovered the revolutionary potential of blockchain technology. Captivated by its promise to drastically alter our digital lives, I was particularly moved by its ethos of individual empowerment, which I believe is necessary for a more prosperous society.

One underexplored yet promising facet of blockchain is its potential to transform corporate structures. This could fundamentally change how we operate, allowing individuals to participate more fully in decision-making and resource allocation. However, current solutions (DAOs) have been disappointing. To address this, I aim to explore how decentralized technologies can help us build more effective and efficient alternatives to our current organizational structures.

Traditional Structures: The Company

To innovate on these structures using decentralized tools, we must first understand them from first principles. The company is the modern organizational structure - so lets define it from first principles.

Companies are a structured collection of individuals united by a common vision, operating under a defined set of principles and processes to execute tasks aimed at achieving that vision, often with the goal of generating more money than it spends.

Blockchain Innovations: DAOs

A Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) is an open, democratic community with operational actions executed on the blockchain. Voting rights and ownership are determined by token holdings, with the nuances of these rights written in code. Examples like Uniswap DAO, The Bored Ape Yacht Club, and Cardano's Project Catalyst illustrate how DAOs operate.

Where DAOs Went Wrong

Despite their potential, DAOs face significant challenges:

1. Slow Decision-Making: The lack of speed hampers their ability to compete with centralized companies.
2. Centralization Under the Mask of Decentralization: In some DAOs, a few token holders control the majority of decisions.
3. Laborious and Inaccessible: DAO interfaces are often not user-friendly, requiring a steep learning curve.

What DAOs Got Right

Despite these faults, DAOs have made significant strides in:

1. Decentralization and Reach: Allowing strangers to collaborate toward a common goal.
2. Transparency and Accountability: Voting and change processes are recorded on an unchangeable ledger.

Decentralizing Organizations Day-to-Day

Imagine buying an NFT that grants you access to specific roles and tasks within an organization. Every task is tied to a smart contract, and once completed, the task manager reviews the work. Upon approval, tokens are distributed to your wallet. This structure can revolutionize how we think about task allocation and completion within organizations.

For example, a decentralized company could issue NFTs representing different roles, each with associated courses and task bounties. This system incentivizes motivated individuals to complete tasks quickly and efficiently while maintaining decentralization.

The New Yogurt Times: Decentralized Media Operations

To experiment with this possibility, I would create a newsletter called The New Yogurt Times (NYT) within Frontier Media. By collaborating with platforms like Working Dead, I would create courses to introduce the company's vision, processes, and specific domain knowledge. NFTs representing different roles (writer, editor, fact-checker) would be minted, each receiving a share of the revenue generated by NYT.

Tasks can be managed through platforms like Discord, which support NFT-based permissions, or decentralized storage solutions like Iagon. While some disconnects remain (e.g., integrating NFT permissions with Substack), these can be managed manually for now.

Revolutionizing Work

Decentralizing day-to-day operations could provide both stability and flexibility, allowing team members to deliver high-quality work while managing their own schedules. This structure can also complement DAOs, which are better suited for long-term, strategic decisions.

Moreover, this system opens the door for AI agents to function within organizations, provided they can access a crypto wallet. By integrating AI into decentralized business processes, we can address the lack of current AI integration in traditional business structures.

Conclusion

This ideation process highlights the potential of decentralized technologies to revolutionize organizational structures. While challenges remain, the possibilities for innovation are immense. I plan to further refine these ideas and potentially write a whitepaper to explore their merits.

I hope you enjoyed this piece. Please like, share, and subscribe to stay engaged with the conversation and witness the potential realization of these ideas.

Hi everyone,

I wrote an article titled "Reimagining Democracy," in which I delve into decision-making within DAOs and explore how some of these mechanisms can potentially strengthen our democratic institutions. My aim is to reach a wider audience and showcase the transformative potential of DAOs to people outside the space. To make the concepts more accessible, I've included a comprehensive glossary. The article is available on my website in both German and English.

I’m eager to hear your thoughts and feedback on the article. Do you agree with my conclusion? Are there any areas you think could be improved or expanded upon? Let me know. 

You can read the article here:

Hello,

I want to share some context about my current project. I am the founder of an experimental project which is a nascent boutique consultancy and AI agency. We are passionate about generative AI and generative art, and our lab environment fosters creativity, experimentation, and cutting-edge development while prioritizing impactful and ethical AI implementations.

I have built this project from scratch and currently have thousands of followers and a growing community of hundreds of active members. Our project has three main focus areas:

1. Boutique Consultancy and AI Agency: We provide strategy, implementation plans, advisory services, and consultations. We also offer AI solutions such as workflow automation, chatbots, and custom GPTs for small businesses and brands.

2. Generative Art: We promote AI artists and are working on a tool for creatives.

3. Community: We offer resources, knowledge, case studies, promotions, and discounts.

Our goal is to become an ecosystem and tech solution provider for businesses and entrepreneurs.

Currently, I am working with a team of six on a value-exchange basis, meaning I am offering coaching, mentoring, connections, and promotion for their work. I am unable to pay them since the project is still unprofitable and bootstrapped and I am not generating any income right now. I'm looking for ways to make the team more committed and ensure fair rewards for their contributions in the future. I am considering solutions such as an equity split, but at the beginning, the project will become an LLC, not a C-Corp.

I'm wondering how to best reward my team members. Could a DAO be a solution? I'm also drawn to the idea of empowering communities, which is why I am considering a DAO set-up.

I was checking sharecouncil, for example, and I found it very expensive.

I appreciate all the suggestions!

Wu Blockchain reported that Arkham discovered a MakerDAO governance delegate was the victim of a phishing scam, losing $11 million worth of Aave Ethereum Maker (aEthMKR) and Pendle USDe tokens. The scam occurred due to the delegate signing multiple signatures.

The sender address, “0xfb94d3404c1d3d9d6f08f79e58041d5ea95accfa,” transferred 3,657 aEthMKR tokens to the recipient address “0x739772254924a57428272f429bd55f30eb36bb96,” with the transaction being confirmed within 11 seconds.

How can crypto users and organizations better protect themselves against phishing scams? Share your thoughts and tips!

I've been hearing more frequently about RealTokenDAO, which evolved from RealT, one of the pioneers in the RWA real estate ecosystem.

I've also read the full paper and believe it is on its way to becoming a true DAO. If you have any thoughts on this or if you've heard of it before, I'd love to hear your experiences.

What applications do you think we are going to see in the future with DAOs? Other than charities and the current use cases maybe.

Hi guys, i was recently given the opportunity to be part of a DAO regarding introducing japanese rice to the US. The organizer of this project launched a campfire campaign (japanese kickstarter) to crowdfund for this project and join the DAO. Based off my rudimentary understanding of a DAO, isnt a DAO supposed to work itself as a decentralized way to crowdfund? Why is he going through a kickstarter like application to crowdfund? If we crowdfund through campfire, how can the participants get a token to vote in any decision in this DAO?

Are my concerns valid or am I missing something.

Any insight helps, thanks!

A friend and I have started an NFT studio. We have already launched a free collection at https://blastr.xyz/pacfrens and partnered with a meme token to launch a collection with them.

As a DAO proponent, what is the best way I can integrate a DAO into this studio I am building?

Does anyone have any experience converting an existing utility token that's live to a DAO and forming the legal wrapper with it?

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?
