#Dao is another word the #crypto industry uses for ...well... anything. Here's a proposed taxonomy to clarify what we mean when we say #Dao: (a quickie sunday am #thread): /1
@VitalikButerin's seminal work discussing the types of human/tech hybrid ventures that may/will be created using censorship resistant technology tools remains the first stop for this discussion: (blog.ethereum.org/2014/05/06/dao…) /2
Today I published "The Limits of Code Deference" papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf… Inspired by #theDao, #Dapps & #DAOs, this article explores whether #decentralizedventures can absolutely bind their users to their code’s execution. Not surprisingly, the answer is no. Why? A quick🧵:
These ventures use code to enable groups of people to act collectively to affect rights to #digital assets. We call these “decentralized ventures.” These decentralized ventures enable transactions among their participants in accordance w/rules created and enforced by their code;
human participants in these decentralized ventures interact with the venture, & sometimes with each other, using #smartcontracts. Smart contracts may break, or behave in unexpected ways. What happens when a smart contract defect /error harms a decentralized venture user?
