What Is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO)?
Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, also known as DAOs, are being used as an alternative way to organize and manage an organization or even a company. In short, the organization is effectively “programmed” into a series of smart contracts that are stored on a blockchain. These smart contracts dictate the basis of the organization’s management and decision-making. Essentially, according to this CNBC article, a DAO is “an Internet community with a shared bank account”—the organization is run by code on the blockchain rather than a hierarchical leadership system. This implies that the organization’s members directly serve as managers and owners without a need for extra bureaucracy.
