DAOs and Don'ts: Lessons and Foresight in Decentralized Governance

​In 2016, the first Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) was launched to solve Web3's coordination problem. 10 years, multiple failures, and millions in losses later - DAOs still don't seem to work.

​But we shouldn't give up hope — if we learn from the positives (the DAOs), avoid mistakes of the past (the don'ts), and look to the future, we can re-design DAOs to be the enabler of tomorrow's technologies: AI, asset tokenization, and network states.

​What will we explore in the sesion?

​What is a DAO?

​What are the DAOs and Don'ts of Governance?

​What is the future of Governance in AI, Tokenized Assets, and Network States?

​Who should attend?
People interested in governance, AI, tokenization, and coordination mechanisms of the future - and can benefit from learning from the successes and failures of DAOs.

​Who will be guiding the discussion?
