Working on our DAO proposal for class gave our team a practical glimpse of how decentralized governance might work in reality. For our draft, we designed a simple Ethereum-based DAO that would fund health-tech ideas from students inside the 2026 Innovation Hub at Tec de Monterrey. Instead of a central office deciding which projects receive support, proposals would be posted, discussed, and voted on by the community using verified wallets, with smart contracts automatically releasing funds if a proposal passes. What stood out to us was how the structure forces you to think carefully about governance rules—who can vote, how proposals move forward, and how to keep the system fair. Even in a small academic exercise, it became clear that designing incentives and participation rules is just as important as the technology itself.
