“May your dao live forever” – King Leonidas
But did he really live at all?
It is not useful to make damage unstoppable if they prevent organizations from being effective. Although some projects, such as Lido and Aave, have sailed these challenges with strong leadership, most hit the winds against as soon as they launched a file and really start to decentralize.
Many projects avoid becoming completely DAO, while others become only name, maintaining centralized control over their protocols and assets.The central problems at the technological level are found in inflexible inherited tools that force compensation at the speed for decentralization.
The DAO have been linked to a token -based token -based vote model, with few ways to adapt governance to their needs. But each organization is different, and its government must evolve over time to achieve its objectives. To overcome these challenges, a new approach is being made, and 2025 will be the year of Damage 2.0: A new paradigm Unleash all the Dao potential to be effective and at the same time increase decentralization and autonomy.
The three main areas that conduct this new era for damage:
- Governance based on context
- Automation and AI
- Promoted by Tokenomic
Governance based on context
Like players who move chess pieces on a board, organizations must constantly move their resources, interested parties and activities to achieve their objectives. Each decision has unique considerations. Monolithic frameworks have been limiting governance to a single government model: tokens -based vote. But there is a world of options beyond the unique governance for all. Modular governance tools allow organizations to adapt the processes within a single implementation of the chain. Instead of making each decision with a referendum, a wide range of governance methodologies within a single organization can be implemented. Decisions can pass through multiple stages before execution, such as optimistic proposals with veto approval and multiple threshold by reliable organisms.Effective decision making requires contributions from people with context, experience and skin in the game. Modular tools face organizations to involve the right interested parties in the correct stages of the decision -making process. The final result is a better and faster decision -making with adequate controls and balances.
Automation and AI
DAOs need to reduce governance and operational overload to succeed. Daos were destined to focus automation and push humans to the edges. But Given tied to a single model of government has been based too much on humans to close the holesIf build consensus before a proposal or intervene when things go wrong.
Ironically, many DAO criticisms come from excessive dependence on human intervention in tokens vote: politulation, popularity competitions, conflicts of interest and errors. The need for wide discussion among humans to approve a wide range of proposals has hindered effective decision making. Current incentives are designed for humans in energy positions to avoid automation. But by segmenting decisions in specific and narrow processes, organizations can reduce the need for interdependencies and nuances, making more direct decisions with clear compensation.
With narrower tickets, it is not only easier for humans to make decisions, but to integrate automation into decision making. Thresholds and triggers can advance, stop or block processes with minimal human affectation.AI agents can overcome this automation.
By introducing AI in the appropriate decision -making stages, Daos can take advantage of its ability to process data and identify optimal results. While it is unlikely that AI completely replaces human governance at this stage, reducing the scope of decisions makes AI a practical and valuable tool to reduce governance overload and maximize efficiency.
The more automated the process is, the less damage faces. Automation reduces cognitive and resource burden in humans, minimizes mistakes and moves away the risk of human actors. Automated workflows can be adapted over time as the conditions change, or become immutable as they ossify. The final result is damage that are more efficient, safe, while they become more autonomous and, therefore, resistant.
Tokenomic
Tokens give Ochain organizations a huge competitive advantage and relatively without exploiting the traditional ones. Still, Most governance tokens lack the real power of the chain on protocols or capital flows, the creation of a disconnection between governance and the value of accumulation and governance are intrinsically linked.
The distribution of the token and liquidity affects the dynamics of governance, while government decisions, in turn, determine how the value is assigned and how it accumulates for the token. When the projects do not consider these interdependencies, they run the risk of misunderstanding incentives, discourage participation and suffocating growth.
By integrating the tokenomics in their governance design, organizations harvest the benefits of incentive alignment: significant participation, accumulation of value and growth flyers.Tokenomic mechanisms can help reward loyalty and participation:
- Tokens lockers with energy on financial flows convert governance tokens into productive assets, improving the accumulation of value and introducing liquidity sinks.
- Balancing the “carrot” of the greatest vote power over time with the “stick” of retirement delays improves loyalty and decreases the problems of the main agent of the delegated model.
- Reward participation and contributions to the network compensate for financial and human capital costs for those involved.
At best, Sound Tokenomics creates a positive feedback cycle. The participation of governance leads to rewards, which drive a stronger commitment and better decisions. This, in turn, encourages ecosystem growth, improves the value of the token and creates a sustainable development cycle.
Governance must comply with organizations where they are, not just where they aspire to be. Dao’s ability to achieve current objectives and adapt over time is what will make them unstoppable, future proof and, most importantly, effective.
When adopting governance based on the context, taking advantage of automation and AI, and integrating tokenomics into the governance design, Daos will become more powerful and effective organizations than its traditional counterparts.
This is the direction in which we have been building and we hope that it gives 2.0 to take root in 2025. The construction of life of life that not only lives forever, Let’s build damage to succeed today.
