9/15 🧵 Backroom deals aren’t always bad @yitong: It’s not that some rooms are private. It’s that we pretend everything’s public We need clarity on who gets to be in what rooms, and why Gatekeeping isn’t evil, being dishonest about it is

10/15 🧵 Infra isn’t the bottleneck anymore DAO ops don’t need 1000s TPS What’s missing: shared norms, legal clarity, cross-chain composability @spengrah.eth: It’s painful for tooling teams to rebuild infra on every L2 just to serve one DAO

11/15 🧵 Why app devs should care Decentralized governance minimizes platform risk Credible neutrality needs to go beyond L1s If you’re building on someone else’s protocol, you want its governance to be fair, sustainable, and stable

12/15 🧵 What DAOs can learn from local gov @cupojoseph: You should know who’s voting and what they want. People talk forever to avoid taking action Also in a DAO, you can just show up and start building. Local politics still has gatekeepers

13/15 🧵 DAOs = digital cooperatives DAOs let communities fundraise, govern, and distribute value without the friction of legacy corp structures Publicly traded companies cost millions to maintain DAOs can do that with a smart contract

Public good funding in itself is a private good, and sometimes a club good when OGs only donate to their friends. This is why it all comes down to good governance of public good funding. To optimise for the long-term, we need donors to adopt fairer and more transparent distribution mechanisms. Reputation metrics should go beyond 'who knows whom' but recipients also need to be held accountable based on verifiable impact.
