Purpose: Improve the efficiency of the network governance through the research

​

• How should we govern networks (e.g. Ethereum)? Principles of decentralization, (crypto)law, self-organization etc

• What tools produce best results? On-chain + soft practices, decision making, execution, dispute resolution, radical markets etc

• How are current networks governed. Upsides and downsides of different gogvernance models. Update the Governance family tree: Ethereum, MakerDAO, Cardano, Grin, Bitcoin, Polkdadot, Cosmos, Decred, MolochDAO governance case studies. Development on existent governance case studies though deeper analytics and interviews with network stakeholders.

• What are most relevant problems for networks

• Decreasing the governance costs (0%)

• Making better decisions

• Funding public goods

• Increasing the amount and quality of interactions

• Improve org experience

• How to make collaborative strategies

• Dgov Adoption

• Research: Increase the probability and speed of consensus on protocol changes

  • Identifying the tensions

  • Creating proposals

  • Collecting the signals on the proposals

  • Presenting

DAOs

• Is it better? when?

• What can be automated? What should be automated?

• What is hardcoded, what is in templates?

• How to make it better?

• How to raise more awareness and adoption?

• How to incentivize people to collaborate, rather then fork-off? How to overcome our competitive nature?

• What would the onboarding process will look like? How to make it easy? (rather wrong and easy, than hard)

• How to make this applicable for humans? – Grace works

• How to optimize the process of proposing? – Grace works

• How do we get the best, most inclusive solutions and honor everybody in the process? – Grace works

• How do we stop thinking in "either/or" way?
