Why DAOs win 🧵

#Permissionless2022
1/ What are DAOs good at?

“DAOs are good at governance”

@owocki
2/ What are the key innovations of DAOs?

“The infrastructure of DAOs make them fundamentally different from traditional orgs”

“DAOs are built on blockchains, use smart contracts, and are permissionless”

“The ability to harness community energy and turn that into action”
3/ What are the key innovations of DAOs?

“The ability to harness community energy and turn that into action”

@frogmonkee

“Now there is a different type of organization built around a blockchain…not another [type] or legal structure…in an internet way”

@hal2001
4/ What are the key innovations of DAOs?

“DAOs enable you to govern something without a legal entity”

@frogmonkee
5/ Points of friction in DAOs…

Everyone wants to design a governance system, but no one wants to use it to govern…low voter turnout on Snapshot…voter turnout is generally the larger holders

@owocki
6/ Points of friction in DAOs…

Gitcoin implemented a delegated token structure called “Stewards” which has led to a 60% voter turnout rate for Gitcoin DAO

@owocki
7/ Points of friction in DAOs…

The most friction comes from reintroducing bureaucracy…we are in the business of scaling trust systems…DAOs enable this using blockchain…DAOs introduce a governed contract without an audience interested in voting

@JulzRoze
8/ Points of friction in DAOs…

DAOs are bad at saying no because there is a low cost to saying ‘yes’ for people, because ‘it’s the DAOs money,’ not yours…

@frogmonkee
9/ Points of friction in DAOs…

“Code at the center. Human at the periphery.”

Visualize DAOs as two concentric circles, there is a problem when the code is small, and the complexity of human decisions is much bigger [than the code]. What makes a DAO is the code.

@frogmonkee
10/ DAOs doing it well today…

Some DAOs do things better than others…ENS has great social governance…Gitcoin has the strongest mission…but none do it all well

@frogmonkee
11/ Real life examples how DAOs are solving their problems…

At Orca, they introduced “Pods” to empower small working groups based on their expertise…

@JulzRoze
12/ The future of DAOs…

The next evolution has to be taking social, [off-chain] agreements and turning that into code.

@frogmonkee
13/ When will DAOs win…

“Taking one from the Ethereum core developers when they get asked about the Merge… ‘there is no timeline, itll be done when it’s done 😂’”

@owocki
14/ When will DAOs win…

“Determination, innovation, and iteration means they aren’t winning yet, but they also aren’t dying”

Play & Earn Gaming 🧵

feat. founders/executives from Illuvium, Axie Infinity, & Gala Games

#Permissionless2022 Image
1/ Building in bear markets…

The key to weathering a bear market is to ship product

Financial incentives build early community…then you have to upgrade the game…

Axie wants to integrate Axies into many more games, not just Sky Mavis titles

@Jihoz_Axie
2/ Building in bear markets…

Illuvium raised enough money ($50M) to weather the bear market. Adding 15-20 people per month. They have the runway.

“We want to be the bridge between web2 and web3”

Metaverse is a bridge for people to ease into web3

The Collision of NFTs and DeFi 🧵

#Permissionless2022
1/ How do you borrow against an NFT?

“As long as there is a market with a price, the lending protocol can give a loan against it, when the value drops, you go through a liquidation process”

Important Pieces: Efficiency of assets, pricing accuracy

@yubo_ruan
2/ We are working on a loan base market for NFTs…starting with Bored Apes…but floor price is too volatile…for liquidation, you don’t want to liquidate someone for [manipulative] floor drops…we accommodating for “instant dump” situations
