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.

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.

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
