DAO Landscape — Coopahtroopa

It feels inevitable that tokens will eventually replace equity, and with it - so will the legacy legal structures that underpin them.

Very soon, we could see a world where DAOs are the new LLCs.

Social DAOs show that there is more to crypto than making a quick buck, and that the internet is the best place to meet people with similar interests.

Service DAOs create decentralized working groups for individuals to work for the open internet - essentially acting as crypto-native talent agencies.

Investment DAOs allow members to pool capital and invest in projects at their earliest stages.

Protocol DAOs provided a framework for any network to issue a token that was (hopefully) owned and operated by its community.

Communities donate funds and use a DAO to vote on how that capital is allocated to various contributors in the form of governance proposals.

The first real use case for DAOs were grants.

Members work together to create, distribute and capture value relative to a shared mission. Ownership shares economic, social and political components, creating best practices for digital coordination.
