DAO: Potential and Perils

on YouTube ↗30m

" summary

Explains where DAOs actually work today: investment, grants, collectibles, gaming guilds, and that major protocols like Uniswap, Compound and Aave already function as DAOs. Names concrete problems — voter apathy, whale dominance, slow decision-making past Dunbar's number (~100–250), high on‑chain cost — and concrete fixes being tried: conviction voting, quadratic voting, decentralized ID, hybrids and DAO-as-a-service. Examples include debates over moving Apecoin voting off Ethereum (cost vs custody). Watch if you want practical tradeoffs and real fixes, not hype.
