Purpose: Improve the efficiency of the network governance through the research
- How should we govern networks (e.g. Ethereum)? Principles of decentralization, (crypto)law, self-organization etc
- What tools produce best results? On-chain + soft practices, decision making, execution, dispute resolution, radical markets etc
- How are current networks governed. Upsides and downsides of different gogvernance models. Update the Governance family tree: Ethereum, MakerDAO, Cardano, Grin, Bitcoin, Polkdadot, Cosmos, Decred, MolochDAO governance case studies. Development on existent governance case studies though deeper analytics and interviews with network stakeholders.
- What are most relevant problems for networks
- Decreasing the governance costs (0%)
- Making better decisions
- Funding public goods
- Increasing the amount and quality of interactions
- Improve org experience
- How to make collaborative strategies
- Dgov Adoption
- Research: Increase the probability and speed of consensus on protocol changes
- Identifying the tensions
- Creating proposals
- Collecting the signals on the proposals
- Presenting
DAOs
- Is it better? when?
- What can be automated? What should be automated?
- What is hardcoded, what is in templates?
- How to make it better?
- How to raise more awareness and adoption?
- How to incentivize people to collaborate, rather then fork-off? How to overcome our competitive nature?
- What would the onboarding process will look like? How to make it easy? (rather wrong and easy, than hard)
- How to make this applicable for humans? – Grace works
- How to optimize the process of proposing? – Grace works
- How do we get the best, most inclusive solutions and honor everybody in the process? – Grace works
- How do we stop thinking in "either/or" way?
