DAOly Post #24 - EthDenver Recap 02/22/22
Curating the latest and greatest in the DAO and Crypto space.
We have a mission to inform, entertain and empower anyone who wants to be involved in decentralized communities.
Join us each week for a breakdown of everything DAOs and how you can get involved in the communities building Web3.
đď¸Â EthDenver
EthDenver was quite the week full of the best brains in the DAO space all in one building with ~4,000 other crypto natives (that had its pros and cons). Personally, I was able to met the most passionate and thoughtful individuals in the DAO space.
Despite some long lines, the EthDenver team did an amazing job to bring thousands of people together to share ideas and talk about the exciting future in the web3 space. If you havenât been to an web3 event, I highly recommend it for the in-person interaction in an industry that is normally online.
Below are some of my favorite talks from the past week. There were so many good ones that it was very difficult to pick. Check out all the talks by following the EthDenver YouTube channel.
The New DAO Frontiers - Panel Shawn Cheng, Aaron Wright, James Young and Kei Kreutler
DAOs with a flat org chart create a âhive-mindâ of ideas that allow for more creative ideas.
Resume building through on-chain proof of members who were involved in building the DAO.
Web3 is moving from financial (Defi) to culture (ideas, memes, art).
Scaling DAO Ops Infrastructure Pryce Adade Yebesi
DAO Operations: Coordinating a distributed group of individuals to operate an organization while governed by a group of token holders.
Operational Layers
Governance Layer- allowing communities to be able to make decisions that impact growth and operations.
Coordination Layer- Organizing human capital to achieve common economic, social or culture objective of the DAO.
Execution layer- Compensate people who drive the DAOâs mission forward.

DAOs govern decisions over shared resources.
DAOs have become more powerful than the tools that currently exist for them.
DAO Transparency allows the community to understand what is happening when there is an attack.
Bridging Gaps in DAO Interactions and Building Blocks Kevin Nielsen
Issues DAOs are facing when scaling:
Too many operational decisions
A lack of specialization
Engagement of token holders
New DAO approaches:
Outsourcing Responsibility to other DAOs like Rabbithole.gg for onboarding and educating new members.
Increased transparency of fragmented interactions which Boardroom is looking to solve by aggregating DAO governance.
