DAO Governance Framework project: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 11:30, 25 April 2024

The DAO Governance Framework (DGF) project uses blockchain technology to make decentralized business possible. To do this, we provide tools to build DAOs. DAOs require IT tools to facilitate their decentralized governance. The core tool of decentralized governance is a meaningful and secure reputation token, REP. The core mechanism of REP tokens in DGF is: 1. REP is minted and given to the person who brings $ to the DAO. 2. The $ doesn't go to the person who earned it; $ is distributed proportionally to everyone who previously has earned REP.

This wiki explains the consequences of using this type of REP token for building DAOs. How it solves the problems with current blockchain initiatives. How DGF makes business and social collaboration more efficient. How REP-focused governance can create a system that promotes human flourishing, materially, socially, and spiritually. And how such lofty and abstract values can persist in a system that is simultaneously built from cold, hard, algorithmic execution of digitally codified business and civil contracts.

From a wider perspective, the goal of the DGF project is to make and provide tools for individuals to engage with their communities and for communities to organize in pursuit of their values. These tools are encompassed in a software framework, called DGF.

The initial instantiation of the DGF project is based on the architecture detailed in these^[1] documents.^[2]^[3] However, the system is designed to be inherently evolutionary and is intended to quickly move beyond the original specifications.

This wiki is intended to record the history of the project, be an official repository of the latest version of DGF, and to serve as a Forum for deliberation on the future direction of the project. We do original research as a rule. We reward original research which remains. We keep a record of old pages, but we replace what is canonical when we agree on a new canonical page.
