DAO Problems

What are the biggest challenges that DAOs need to solve?

Primary challenges and issues facing DAOs:

Governance

Effective governance remains a significant challenge. DAOs often struggle with voter apathy, where a small number of participants make decisions for the entire organization.

Coordination

DAOs still require leadership and real world human interaction. Coordinating actions and achieving consensus among a large, decentralized group can be difficult.

Alignment of intent and lack of commitment.

DAOs operate in a legal gray area, with unclear regulations and potential legal liabilities for participants.

Security

Smart contracts, while powerful, are not immune to bugs and vulnerabilities, which can lead to significant financial losses.

Onboarding

Onboarding talent

In what way different? Is it lack of background knowledge of blockchain?

Recognition

It is possible that quiet overacheivers can be unrecognised fairly for their contribution as others may not understand the value they have provided.
