0/ 11 years ago, the Ethereum Whitepaper outlined the vision, purpose, and technical design of Ethereum.
1/ The paper suggested the use case of "Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs)", or leaderless organizations governed by code.
Now, DAOs aren't just an idea, they're used in production every day.
2/ Today, DAOs are integral to the ecosystem:
- $21B managed by DAO treasuries
- 11.8M people holding governance tokens worldwide
- 268.8k decisions made by DAOs
Data from @DeepDAO_io.
3/ Ethereum Layer 2 chains like @Optimism, @arbitrum, @zksync, and @Scroll_ZKP use DAOs to shape their underlying infrastructure and ecosystem, with some managing treasuries worth billions.
4/ DeFi products like @Uniswap, @SkyEcosystem, @LidoFinance, @aave, @MorphoLabs, and more use DAOs to shape how their applications evolve.
The community votes on user upgrades, fees, rewards, and more to govern how the protocol changes and operates.
5/ DAO tooling providers like @AragonProject, @tallyxyz, @SnapshotLabs, @OpenZeppelin Governor, @DAOhaus and others are building solutions to make decentralized governance possible.
They help DAOs launch, manage proposals, vote, and coordinate.
6/ Projects like @gitcoin, @OctantApp & @Giveth are channeling millions toward open-source software, climate, education & more, powered by the communities who rely on them.
NFT-based DAOs like @nounsdao and @PublicNouns auction one NFT per day, using the proceeds to fund ideas.
7/ For more stats on DAOs you can visit sources like @boardroom_io, @Dune, @SnapshotLabs, @tallyxyz, @DeepDAO_io, @santimentfeed, and @flipsidecrypto.
