1/ To reach their long term visions, #DAOs must effectively allocate treasury funds and distribute tasks.

To understand where DAOs are sending funding and internal DAO labor, @raholloway breaks down DAO working groups, DAO funding focus, and funding methods.👇🧵

2/ As mentioned, DAOs use working groups to shift tasks from core teams to the broader community who are paid for their contributions with treasury resources.

Working groups facilitate progressive decentralization while ensuring standards are upheld.

Categories include:

+Product & Development
+Growth
