The Pragmatists Guide to DAOing aka Reasonable ways to Govern a DAO
This article is by some people who have “been there, done that” in the self-management community. In DAOs, there is much talk about whale capture and token weighted voting. There is an assumption that if you haven't designed the system well, you will be attacked in the Dark Forest of open, permissionless, networks.

The New Internet ExperienceOnce you see Web3 and DAOs, you can’t unsee them. Web3 and DAOs make me excited and curious about playing with technology again. I remember two times I’ve felt this excited about technological change. First, when my parents brought home my computer. Second, the beginning of the internet (getting that AOL disk in my mailbox!). Now - Web3. My brain is on fire with the “art of the possible,” and I can’t stop learning. I’ll forever have the bug: I understand the potenti...
