Questions​

At what point does the tooling a DAO depends on become a centralizing force that undermines its purpose?

  • The toolkit covers security, governance, and operations — which of the three causes the most DAO failures in practice, and why?
  • Launcher platforms like Aragon bundle opinionated governance models — does buying rather than building reduce a DAO's ability to design its own incentive structures?
  • Snapshot enables off-chain voting to reduce gas costs, but off-chain votes lack on-chain enforcement — what coordination mechanisms close that gap?
