A Snapshot of the DAO Ecosystem

•

0/ A Snapshot of the DAO ecosystem We believe in DAOs as a new and innovative way to coordinate social and economic behaviour in a global economy where work is increasingly freelance and gig-based. twitter.com/parcelHQ/status/1522293708238069761

1/ This piece from @grapeprotocol's @_Dean_Machine is a quick intro to DAOs. twitter.com/_Dean_Machine/status/1522290238135181313

2/ @arca recently put out a well researched report on DAOs. twitter.com/arca/status/1522213943359336448

3/ According to @DeepDAO_io analytics, there are currently 4834 DAOs with combined $10.2b in treasury and 655.7K active voters & proposal makers. Like @lmrankhan from @alliancedao, we too expect aggregate DAO treasury will go to a trillion in 10 years. businessinsider.com/crypto-venture-fund-cofounder-dao-vc-assets-one-trillion-dollars-2022-4?op=1

4/ DAOs require tools & infrastructure to operate effectively. Here's a great overview of the DAO infra & tooling landscape. h/t to @nichanank

5/ Coinshift's @tarungupta1475 proposes a Layer 0/Layer 1 analogy as a framework to think about DAO infra & tooling Layer 0 are the base layer primitives - @gnosisSafe, @AragonProject, Compound Governor Layer 1 are the toolings built on top of Layer 0 twitter.com/LongHashVC/status/1523996461691654144

6/ Let's start with @gnosisSafe - a smart contract multisig wallet. Gnosis Safe can be considered a Layer 0 DAO primitive. Many projects are built on top of Gnosis Safe. twitter.com/SchorLukas/status/1511304317218832388

7/ Here's a snippet from our podcast with @StefanDGeorge sharing how @gnosisSafe got started 👇 Watch the full podcast here 👉 youtube.com/watch?v=9-7vQPXKzB8

8/ Coinshift is one of the projects building on top of @gnosisSafe @0xCoinshift is a smart treasury management solution for DAOs & companies & has recently raised a $15mil Series A led by Tiger Global! 🥳 @LongHashVC is a seed investor in Coinshift twitter.com/0xCoinshift/status/1526570052925136896

9/ Check out our recently recorded podcast with @0xCoinshift's @tarungupta1475 where he shares more about Coinshift V2 and the DAO landscape in general Link 👉 youtube.com/watch?v=LJ_aff-vUAA youtube.com/watch?v=LJ_aff-vUAA

10/ Also building on top of @gnosisSafe is @parcelHQ Parcel is a one-stop shop for on-chain DAO financial operations. They recently processed >$100mil for DAOs 🤯 twitter.com/parcelHQ/status/1501563381832044549

11/ We're also glad to see how various DAO toolings are composing with each other - in this case, @OrcaProtocol integrating with @parcelHQ. twitter.com/OrcaProtocol/status/1519050014932324354

12/ Another key Layer 0 DAO primitive is everyone's fav governance platform @SnapshotLabs We're eagerly looking forward to Snapshot X - which will finally allow DAOs to conduct their governance on-chain! twitter.com/SnapshotLabs/status/1483168945234321408

13/ To learn more about Snapshot X, check out our podcast with @NathanVDH0x 👇 twitter.com/LongHashVC/status/1486677758960799744

15/ @hicommonwealth is an all-in-one platform for on-chain communities to discuss, vote, and fund projects together They recently launched Common Chat, a Web3-native iteration of Discord/Slack, but better of course! twitter.com/hicommonwealth/status/1523678863124955137

18/ We're almost midway through 2022 So much has happened in the DAO space and in the wider Web3 ecosystem Bear market is the best time for building & we remain positive that 2022 is the year DAO adoption accelerates twitter.com/chaserchapman/status/1521920980020613121?s=20&t=yP6SIvGJ5dF1fghwKgnWQA
