On June 20th, 2024 we announced the The Tally Protocol: the next step forward in onchain governance that fully actualizes the value of the systems which token holders own and participate in. The full Tally Protocol Whitepaper can be read here & the announcement thread from Tally CEO & Co-Founder Dennison Bertram can be read here. Over the next few weeks we will dive deeper into different features of The Tally Protocol’s design & incentive mechanisms with educational content, demo videos, podc...

This article is written by @m0xandrew in collaboration with @contentguildxyz.The 3-Headed ProblemDAOs are a historic shift in how people organize and work together. The way work gets done is a key driver of the economy and society broadly. Even modest improvements in this space will have dramatic implications. Three main factors are restricting the growth of DAOs: identity, replicable organizational structures, and real world applications. This said, solutions are not just possible, but curre...

Governance RestakingSeparating voting power from financial utility with the Tally Protocol and Symbiotic Governance tokens are a key component of the blockchain ecosystem, allowing stakeholders to directly participate in the decision-making process and operations of the protocols they rely on every day. These tokens, however, often struggle to balance their governance utility with their potential as financial assets, as participating in governance requires locking up tokens. Token holders fac...

The WhyThe incentives for participating in DAOs are broken. Token holders are asked to actively manage and govern multi-billion dollar protocols at their own expense. Large delegates fund their critical research and operations via inconsistent grants or retroactive funding. Token holders hold illiquid unproductive assets with little or no incentive to participate. The critical challenges facing DAOs today are directly tied to the inherent dichotomy of governance tokens: they are both assets a...

MultiGov is set to Debut for DAOs on Solana and EVM ChainsWormhole, Tally, and ScopeLift are teaming up to build MultiGov: an industry-first multichain governance system soon available to DAOs on Solana, Ethereum mainnet, and EVM L2s. The Wormhole DAO will be the first to adopt MultiGov, enabling W holders to create, vote on, and execute governance proposals on any supported chain. Integrating this innovative governance model marks a significant shift towards a truly decentralized and inclusi...

This article is written by @gigarahul in collaboration with @contentguildxyz.Classifying DAOs is importantIf you’re interested in contributing to a DAO as a voter, delegate, grants applicant, paid employee, or in another way, you’re probably thinking about whether the DAO is the one that’s best for your passions and career interests.

This article is written by @kylerW56 in collaboration with @contentguildxyz.Signals & NoiseThe bear market of 2023 brought an unforgiving winter to the doorstep of much of DeFi, and DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, for any new faces) were certainly not spared. The intensity and fervor of 2021 and 2022, which had borne witness to obscene influxes of capital to blockchain, had all but dissipated, and like the rest of the industry, it seemed that DAOs had fallen quiet.
