## Content

Welcome to the first edition of the crowdsourced playbook on successfully building DAOs, with contributions from >60 DAOists from across the DAO ecosystem. This playbook contains experiences from 8 years of DAOing, and it should help understand DAOs, why people are building them and how to actually build one. As the field is everchanging, we’ll be updating the playbook at least once a year. We believe DAOs are the future of coordination, and together we will make it so.peth, summoner of DAO Accelerationismhttps://opensea.io/assets/0xDC035FdbBC5B2D46021CAf1e7EcaBA1937b0002C/2Sponsored byDAOhaus, Optimism, Public Nouns, MetaCartel, Push Protocol, MetaGame, MangroveDAO & Hats Protocol.
