KPI Sub-DAO Structure

By delegating some execution power to key decision makers, the cost of participation drops significantly. Issues that token holders are not interested in, should not require the attention of token holders and can be hidden from their day-to-day. This allows the DAO to make decisions more efficiently without compromising on transparency or openness.... See more

The three key governance areas Growing DAOs will likely reach the point where their communities demand governance structures for all three key needs. Below, I share a more detailed breakdown of each of them to help builders/protocol developers identify where they will have to put their focus if they want to build a successful DAO.

Partition into “subgroups” The first DAO to partition itself successfully was Yearn Finance. Subgroups can operate independently and focus on specific tasks (development, marketing, etc.). With Yearn's growth and constant product evolution, multiple teams needed to independently handle tasks like front-end UX, core protocol development, and marketi... See more

Decentralisation should not come at the expense of efficiency in the long run. Progressive decentralisation enables an initial team to search for product market fit on its way toward credible neutrality. We will explore examples of DAOs doing this through constrained delegation and working groups, as well as the tools that provide additional layers... See more

When DAOs are needed The growth of DAOs in general and the massive success of some of the most innovative ones inevitably result in the perception that the route to growth and robust network participation requires a DAO structure. In times of ebullience, market forces make it easy to assume that every organization, community, or project needs a DAO... See more

attempt the most futile and also useful task in human history. Categorising things that grow organically, hold complexity and change very fast. ...had to do it to understand and map the territory. ... will change tomorrow but I hope it gives a template for you to partition and think about DAOs, while also understanding the in-between and the emerge...
