📣 I am no longer Lead Steward of @unlock-protocol DAO!
While I have been recovering a bit from the workload of the last year as Lead Steward, I also took some time to reflect on what I succeeded in and key info I have learned while being in that role about DAOs.
First of all, I am excited to share that I checked all the marks on my original proposal. In a DAO, roles are often proposed, and upon that proposal, one is either elected or denied that role. This is the proposal that I published over a year ago: https://snapshot.box/#/s:unlock-protocol.eth/proposal/0xfa2740a0b2431935b697907f900a6c1d1a2f4cca00982b13de94795bffae9fc8
The milestones I am most proud of:
✔️ Supporting our migration to @base.base.eth for lower-cost and broader governance participation
✔️ Upgrading contributor systems for efficiency and fairness with @charmverse
✔️ Initiating a Steward Council to decentralize leadership 💜
✔️ Launching and actively supporting key cultural and organizational frameworks
✔️ Foster stronger ecosystem connections resulting in active integrations of our technology into others in the works (e.g., @hatsprotocol).
What I have learned about /daos:
❌ Just because you "know" something to be right, doesn't mean everyone will agree with you. Processes are slow but can be optimized with patience.
❌ Centralized leadership icons in a DAO are problematic and often tip the balance of governance unfavorably.
❌ Revenue and self-sustainability are key to any organization that is thinking long-term, but it can't be based on short-term thinking.
This role was always meant to be limited to a year, so the DAO can move on to a more decentralized and liveable model of a Steward Council (my workload was insane at times 😅)! Nonetheless, I am super grateful for the experience and looking for more opportunities in a similar direction. Ping me if you know an organization looking for someone like me 🥰 . 2 replies
