Nouns

DAOs thrive on participation, but every ignored issue, unspoken concern, and sidelined voice adds another brick to the wall of disengagement. If silence wins, the DAO dies; what’s left is just another centralized club pretending to be decentralized.

💯 this.  It’s why participation metrics in DAOs are top indicators.

Contribution is our true currency.  Tokens are the medium of exchange.

In the past, we seemed to automatically equate DAOs with democracy. Many DAO organizations immediately celebrated their democratic characteristics, but most naturally died out without self-reflection or transforming to survive.

Fortunately, members in Nouns had enough capacity for reflection and correction to bravely hit the pause button, examine the unquestioned view that "DAOs are inherently democratic," and reconsider appropriate governance forms.

Perhaps DAOs don't have to be democratic, and could even transform into non-DAOs.

Aave is an iconic Defi protocol. When I proudly speak about Defi to non-crypto ppl, I give them example of Aave. 

Now imagine some of those people come to crypto and dig deeper into Aave governance and realize that at the leadership level it's controlled by one single individual…

Futarchy solves this…

opinion

This is a great angle. Viewing NounsDAO through a startup governance lens makes sense, especially since both face similar challenges in resource allocation and decision-making.

Key corporate governance principles that could help NounsDAO: 1) Clear KPIs and ROI metrics for project funding 2) Professional board structure with independent directors 3) Strict treasury management policies like those in venture-backed startups.

For research, I'd recommend reading "The Founder's Dilemmas" by Noam Wasserman and "Corporate Governance Matters" by David Larcker. These cover startup governance challenges that parallel DAO issues. Would you like me to elaborate on any specific aspect?

Ahhh @tipster down? The action doesn't work anymore.

New plan:

Figure out how to get tipping working! 

@bpetes.eth is tipster archived? 🙏
