How to Launch a DAO
IntroductionIf you’ve been learning about web3 for a bit of time, you’ve probably seen the term “DAO” more than a couple of times. As you may have learned, DAOs, or Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, are pretty much everywhere in web3. These new decentralized, community-led entities are the coordination layer of web3 and have been touted as the future of work. In case you’re still wondering what DAOs are, think of them as an organization led by the people working in them. The community o...

Web3 Design Principle: Code Transparency
IntroductionOftentimes you will hear the term trustless in web3. What it really means is that instead of trusting strangers, institutions, and other 3rd parties, a user would trust in the code or protocol, ie trust is built into the code. This is the main reasoning behind the design principles of transparency of code for web3 Dapps.— for a Dapp to be trusted, it’s code needs to be trusted.— for code to be somewhat trusted, it needs to be transparent, independently executable and verifiable.As...

Web3 Design Principle: Transparency for Transaction History
IntroductionEnvision a future where web3 technologies are widely adopted. Where each user engages with multiple Dapps, tokens, and chains as they normally would with typical apps. But instead of a centralized server keeping logs of your past interactions, it’s transparent and on-chain for you to view. In this future, we believe that it is necessary for the user to be able to have full transparency and accessibility of their own transaction history. While most wallets do already provide users ...

Web3 Design Principle: Smart Contract Event Transparency
IntroductionSmart Contract Events are the notification of web3 technology. When certain meaningful conditions happen within the smart contract, the smart contract emits an “Event” and writes logs to the blockchain that a Dapp frontend or other smart contracts can process. For example, if a person were to transfer an ERC20 token, the token’s smart contract would then emit the “Transfer” event which contains all the data related to the transfer. Transactions and other actions take time to perfo...
