greetings friends,

summer is gone for us up here in the norther hemi, so you know what that means…it’s cuffing season or as we like to call it in DAO Talk studios: DAO Cuffing szn. the market is down but DAOs are poppin! proposals are being created, work is getting done, the air is crisp and we have everything you missed from last week in the DAO ecosystem right here.

let’s dive in.

🎙discussed on the pod

👨‍⚖️CFTC x Ooki DAO legal complaint gets the full legal breakdown

ross @z0r0zzz

Ok, so today the CFTC fined Ooki DAO and its members as an "unincorporated association" to tune of $250k — This is a very broad theory of liability ("joint and several") and confirms what crypto lawyers have suspected — cftc.gov/PressRoom/Pres… Let's untangle things: 🪡

take a few min to read ross’ thread on the CFTC x Ooki DAO situation. the implications on DAOs will be immense but are still unclear. stay tuned.
Tally & ross convened an emergency Twitter spaces to gather crypto’s best legal minds to discuss

💭DAOs final forms are yet to hit the mainstream

Chase Chapman @chaserchapman

Two types of DAOs will emerge over the next few years 1) DAOs that look like governments (first-order organizations) 2) DAOs that look like companies (second-order organizations)

a thread (click to read it all ⬆️)reminiscent of last week’s discussion of Vitalik’s defense of DAOs, in fact it was inspired by the article
tl;dr this isn’t an endorsement of any particular type of DAO. something we consistently hammer is the importance of variation within DAO structures. Ethereum is infinitely composable, we are working with an unlimited (albeit nascent) design space. things will break, there will be obstacles, but we should be leaning into exploration instead of falling back on tradition. Chase is really good at this, another 5⭐️ rating from DT studios!
💰Safe (previously Gnosis Safe) launches DAO!!!

lukasschor.eth | Safe @SchorLukas

Some things we've done differently when launching the SafeDAO and $SAFE Token 🧵

big moves out of SafeDAO. we’re excited to see what the community can learn from the launch of their token. another company goes DAO-wn! (please forgive me for this joke)

🎉Organizing on the internet just got 100x easier
