salutations friends,
last week was a slow one in the DAO world. but slow ≠ bad. let’s dive right into the ever-inspiring world of decentralized autonomous organizations (that was a mouthful)!
⬇️ discussed on the pod
🥵 hot DAO contributor summer is thriving
Update from last week: Hot DAO CONTRIBUTOR Summer is dirty, thirty, and thriving! There is no time like the present to start contributing to a DAO
The good news? Tally can fix that. Start a DAO w/ on-chain governance here.
🥸 nounsDAO is active on Tally & rocketed to the center of the collective mindshare
it’s no secret: the DT Team has a crush on nounsDAO. so when we saw traffic spike on the nounsDAO Tally dashboard, frisson got a lil excited!
if you’re a nouner reading this, it’s not too late: contributors hit us up! we want to help you!
🤑 the state of funding in web3: boomin’ (call god 📞)
funding in web3 is more democratic than ever. with new + innovative forms of funding popping up each week VCs no longer have a strangle hold on the allocation of capital. need funding? you got options.
here are some projects making waves
note: raising through traditional pathways is still beneficial. founders just need to be sure it’s for the right amount with the right people. you shouldn’t feel forced into a deal that is stripping away your control & sense of self.
👩⚖️ NFTs as the the default governance mechanism
we think NFTs are the future of DAO governance. easy to track, easy to distribute, & solves a plethora of treasury + governance attack vectors
this isn’t to say NFTs as the default governance mechanism is without its own problems — we just think it’s a better vehicle to drive the DAO space forward vs. its erc20 counterpart. disagree? we want to hear!
😂 meme of the week

your friendly neighborhood DAO Talk bois
