0/ 11 years ago, the Ethereum Whitepaper outlined the vision, purpose, and technical design of Ethereum.

1/ The paper suggested the use case of “Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs)”, or leaderless organizations governed by code.

Now, DAOs aren't just an idea, they're used in production every day.

The universal platform for crypto, blockchain apps, stablecoins & decentralized tech. An account about the Ethereum ecosystem maintained by @ethereumfndn.

2/ Today, DAOs are integral to the ecosystem: 

- $21B managed by DAO treasuries.
- 11.8M people holding governance tokens worldwide
- 268.8k decisions made by DAOs

Bringing the world onchain with fast finality.

3/ Ethereum Layer 2 chains like @optimism, @arbitrum, @zksync, and @scrollzkp use DAOs to shape their underlying infrastructure and ecosystem, with some managing treasuries worth billions.

The largest onchain marketplace. Buy and sell crypto on Ethereum and 13+ other chains.

4/ DeFi products like @uniswap, Sky Ecosystem, Lido, Aave, @morpho, and more use DAOs to shape how their applications evolve.

The community votes on user upgrades, fees, rewards, and more to govern how the protocol evolves and operates.

7/ For more stats on DAOs you can visit sources like @boardroom, @dune.eth, SnapshotLabs, Tally, Deep DAO, Santiment, and Flipside.

6/ Projects like @gitcoin, @octant, and @giveth are channeling millions toward open-source software, climate, education & more, powered by the communities who rely on them.

NFT-based DAOs like @nouns and @publicnouns auction one NFT per day, using the proceeds to fund ideas.

5/ DAO tooling providers like @aragon, Tally, SnapshotLabs, @openzeppelin Governor, DAOhaus and others are building solutions to make decentralized governance possible.

They help DAOs launch, manage proposals, vote, and coordinate.
