SDF uses the general [[DAO Governance Framework|DGF]] system for building [[DAO|DAOs]] by specifying their [[Governance|governance structure]]. Academic societies can use this structure to choose the governance style that best matches their goals, based on their stated principles and values. DGF allows complex accounting mechanisms to assign meaningful [[reputation]] to members based on their contributions. Separate types of REP tokens are minted and distributed for writing articles, reviewing articles, governing the organization, and for making general comments on all of the previous actions.

The initial Science DAOs include some of the subjects most relevant to building decentralized networks, including:

* [[Peer to Peer Technology sDAO|Peer to Peer Technology]] The decentralized society for research, development, and sharing of P2P tools.
* [[Decentralized Governance sDAO|Decentralized Governance]] The decentralized society for analysis and development of new approaches to the organization and guidance of decentralized networks.

SDF is itself a decentralized organization whose membership is open to the global public. Power in the the organization is dynamically determined by participation, judged by the community.
