Dive into this exciting conversation about the importance of decentralization in organizations and how elements of the governance process like timed discussion periods, temperature checks, and Snapshot-based voting ensure consistent, progressive decentralization. On-chain governance makes sense with Tally, and voting becomes automated and secure, as Coolhorsegirl2, Head of Business Development at Tally, shared with us.
DAO Tip of the Month: Vision Should Rule
If it’s day one and you’re just starting to DAO, lead with a vision.
Whether that’s “making crypto accessible for all,” “championing alternative voices in crypto through collectively-owned grants programs,” “being the home for all designers to thrive on-chain,” or just, “acting as the community-run growth vehicle” for a particular protocol or Dapp, the creation of and agreement on the vision needs to be the first step for any DAO.
It doesn’t matter if you have 5, 10, 100, or 1000+ contributors on day one.
Co-create your vision with whoever is there. Once you have a consensus on it, use it to pen 3-10 values that your DAO will live by. These are the guiding principles for how the community behaves towards each other and how it makes decisions.
Without values you’ll be rudderless as potential contributors, partnerships, grantees, and more start to roll in.
Take the first few weeks even to do this right and your DAO will begin as an atomic network, a repeatable foundational system that can be replicated again and again as you launch new workstreams.
If you need examples, look at what we’ve done and look at what any successful DAO has done along these lines. Better yet, join new ones and ask how they started.
We thrive as a space when DAOists share experiences with each other.
In each newsletter, we’re kicking off a new initiative with these practical tips of the month. If there’s a tip you’d like to see or share, reach out to us on the forum.
DAOs can work like ant colonies
We continue to roll out editorial content about all aspects of DAOing. In this post, René, our Push DAO Marketing Lead draws parallels between roles in an ant colony like the queen, workers, and soldiers to roles in DAOs, connecting them based on the activities they perform and how they communicate:
How to build an engagement web3 community
Your community is full of talented individuals eager to contribute and grow within your DAO. Empower them by providing visibility and connections that can help them succeed both personally and professionally, listen to them, and make sure to diversify the way you communicate with them based on people’s personalities and working styles. And last but not least, at Push Protocol, we always try to make it fun.
Dive in deeper here on our tips for strengthening community engagement in DAOs:
