Founders

We’ve seen DAOs pop up across tons of Web3 projects—offering a powerful layer of decentralization. It all sounds great in theory. But here’s the thing: decentralization doesn’t automatically mean “better decisions.”

The biggest challenge? Malicious intent. Can we really protect a DAO from bad actors just by voting systems alone? Probably not—unless there’s a layered, well-thought-out mechanism behind it.

Founders need to really know their holders. Without a deep understanding of who’s participating, any kind of governance—especially voting—can easily become high-risk. It’s not about giving everyone a vote; it’s about knowing who’s voting and why.

So maybe it’s time to rethink how we approach DAO structures. Decentralization doesn’t mean giving up control—it means designing smarter systems where trust and alignment matter just as much as code and tokens.

This is true, but many projects don't give their loyal community what they deserve and focus more on what will cause them to fail.
