What Is a DAO

On-chain governance.

What Is a DAO?

A Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) is a group coordinated by rules encoded in smart contracts rather than by a central management hierarchy.

Members make decisions collectively, on-chain, through transparent voting.

From Companies to DAOs

Traditional organizations rely on executives, boards, and legal contracts. A DAO replaces much of that with code.

  • Company: hierarchy, private decisions
  • DAO: token holders, public on-chain votes
