In DAO governance, a "user education budget" is essential to prevent community cognitive imbalance. Effective governance relies on informed participation, but disparities in understanding blockchain, smart contracts, or DAO objectives can lead to misaligned decisions or manipulation by a few. Allocating funds for educational initiatives—such as tutorials, webinars, or accessible documentation—ensures members grasp the DAO’s mission, technical mechanisms, and voting processes. This fosters equitable engagement, reduces misinformation, and empowers diverse voices. Without it, uninformed users may disengage or follow influential actors blindly, risking centralization. A budget for education promotes transparency, aligns incentives, and strengthens decentralized decision-making.
