🧠 What is a DAO?

DAO = Decentralized Autonomous Organization

✅ Operates via smart contracts

✅ Governed by token holders

✅ Transparent, code-based decision-making

✅ No centralized leadership

🚀 “DAOs are the blockchain version of companies — but without CEOs, HR, or office politics.”

đŸ§© How Do DAOs Work?

Proposal: Anyone in the DAO can suggest a change or action

Voting: Token holders vote based on their stake

Execution: If approved, smart contracts carry out the decision

Transparency: Every vote and decision is recorded on-chain

🔐 “DAOs let communities control the treasury, roadmap, and mission.”

📈 Why DAOs Are Booming In 2025

✅ Stronger DAO tooling (Tally, Snapshot, Aragon, Juicebox)

✅ Legal frameworks emerging (Wyoming, UAE, Singapore)

✅ More capital managed by DAOs than ever before

✅ Institutional interest in decentralized governance models

✅ DAOs merging with real-world businesses

đŸ”„ “In 2025, DAOs are no longer experiments — they’re executing billion-dollar roadmaps.”
