DAOs: From fractal primitives to network scale.

DAOs will likely become large networks with shared incentives and coordination tools, made up of smaller units (which can still be quite bit) that act in a more directed and centralized way.

For the past years, the outsized narrative of DAO as an alternative to venture capital dims the light of its much more profound, and much more interesting potential — a fluid, programmable, modular social network that is by design global, transparent, and collaborative. DAO has the potential to become a new frontier of belonging, to create a new sp... See more

The org structure of DAOs looks like modern day cooperatives, but over the next decade I believe their scale and impact will rival some of the world’s largest public companies.

What it looks like starting DAOs under this structure

• Starting small, walk before you run


• Initial monolithic group

By encouraging Sub-DAOs to apply for work, the DAO scales and accelerates its work rather than encouraging more membership growth.

DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations - a topic for a future issue) are so important to this thesis because they become the new framework for a group of specialists to organize and coordinate.

The superscalable quality indicates the organization can reach large membership sizes and in contrast to the modern firm, become more capable as it scales.A theory of the firm suggests that as organizations grow, they develop inefficiency costs directly proportional to their membership size. In the case of decentralized autonomous organizations, th... See more
