Building Organizations Without a Boss: Understanding DAOs in Web3

In traditional companies, decisions come top-down — CEO → Managers → Employees.
But in Web3, things are changing.

Welcome to DAOs — Decentralized Autonomous Organizations.
These are blockchain-based entities where rules are defined by smart contracts and decisions are made through community voting.

🔹 How a DAO Works

Smart Contracts: Define governance logic

Governance Tokens: Represent voting rights

Proposals & Votes: Members decide changes collectively

Execution: Once approved, the code executes automatically

🔹 Real-World DAO Examples

Uniswap DAO: Manages DEX upgrades

MakerDAO: Governs the DAI stablecoin

Aave DAO: Decides lending protocol parameters

🔹 Why It Matters

DAOs are more than a trend — they’re the next evolution of organizations.
They combine transparency, decentralization, and automation to eliminate middlemen and bias.

🧭 Learn more in my latest video where I break down DAOs in simple terms and show why they’re the future of companies built on blockchain.
