Let’s talk about trust.

Stefen, what the hell is a proto-DAO? Don’t worry, I’ll explain.

When we think of DAO tools, we often think of platforms that we run our communities on, or interfaces that our contributors use to connect with each other. Often, we view these tools competitively, in the sense of one vs the other (ie “should we use this tool or that tool?”)

We’ve talked about contribution management and the power of recording community contributions.

You’ve heard of project management, product management, and even treasury management - but wtf is contribution management, and why do I need to manage my contributions?

For communities, having active records of your contributions can be powerful, and can enable a number of unlocks.

We’ve got another new feature for you: Memberships. What this means is that managing DAO contributions just got even easier. Let’s dive in!

You might have read our last article and thought, “Govrn sounds great for DAOs that don’t need core teams to steward them, but we need a core team to manage things or else we’ll devolve into chaos - an individual contributor focus isn’t enough!“

Right now, DAOs are already creating a paradigm shift in how people work, operate, and coordinate. Many are seeing the importance of developing and building out this DAO ecosystem, as well as tools to make DAOs more effective and easier to use, so that more and more people (from more and more places) will be able to create or contribute to DAOs.
