Here we analyze the abstract building blocks of a DAO.

Fundamental Considerations[edit | edit source]

  • Individuals are creative, and have goals and needs
  • Individuals can choose to coordinate their actions
    • This can be considered a social phenomenon
    • These actions and reactions aggregate into group behavior
  • Group behaviors have effects
    • Individuals within the group
    • The group considered as a whole
    • Outside the group

We desire to build a system with the following properties:

  • The system accrues benefit to its users, both internal and public
  • The behavior of the system can be steered by the collective will of participants

We call such a system a Self-Governing DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization).
