Community metrics
Community metricsCommunity metrics provide insights into the size, engagement, and composition of a DAO's community, which are crucial for understanding its reach and influence. This can be a complex category to measure. For one, each DAO defines “community” for itself differently. “Community” in the Nouns DAO ecosystem extends beyond just tokenholders, and includes creators, artists, proposers, and might even include the members of DAOs that have forked the Nouns model like Purple DAO a...

Some other notable frameworks for analyzing DAOs
Some other notable frameworks for analyzing DAOsThe fun of analyzing and classifying DAOs doesn’t end here—there are many other frameworks for assessing DAOs and you should take the liberty to create other metrics and categories as you see fit for the questions you want answered. For example, Marlene Marz has created a fantastic graphic outlining the various DAOs by their aggregator, type, and number of DAOs found per category. source: Marlene Marz, How to classify DAOs according to their mis...
