--- tags: notes, dauhaus, hausparty, daos, community --- # DAOhaus Haus Party LIVE! Notes: 5/27 Link to the Twitch recording: [https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1037083810](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1037083810) - I'll be updating these notes with timestamps. ## Notes From the Livestream **Topics:** - DAO working styles and how this has been evolving - Having a DAO that launches and in the first few weeks has thousands of participants and contributors - What is Haus Party? - Haus Party is a podcast about DAOs — informal, much more like a conversation among friends. - Published on YouTube, goes live on Twitch **Hosts & Guests** - frog (frogmonkee) - dekanbro - Felipe Duarte ## Updates (DAOhaus Universe) - Cool things happening with NFTs — collaboration with Rarible and proposal in the RaribleDAO - Integration for collector, curator DAOs based around NFTs - MolochDAO vs. MolochDAOs - MolochDAO first DAO using this set of contracts, and does grants - MolochDAOs/DAOhaus DAOs have an aspect of the Moloch contracts (newer version of the contracts) - Key aspect is that *one* of the treasuries is owned. by DAO members through shares and weighted share governance (this is rage quittable) - Multiple treasuries (not all are rage quittable) - Maintained by community of open-source devs ## frog and BanklessDAO - "Wanting to be DAOists together" → inviting folks into the community and onto Haus Party - BanklessDAO created on May 4, 2021 → retroactive Airdrop to premium subs who had the Bankless Badge POAP and then opened up Discord to folks with $Bank token - Started out radically decentralized: majority of holders are between 35K - 130K - Dropped into a Discord, and organization and collaboration naturally emerging - "DAO in name only" → DAO or digital organization? - Multisig with Bankless LLC - "DAO experiment on steroids." - Thousands of members in the Discord community - Starting with lots of members as opposed to other DAOs starting with a smaller core of folks and growing from there - Working to establish a cadence and coordinating teams and squads - First steps: - Very first steps (Airdrop and Discord setup) dictated by the LLC - Tiers based on tokens - Under 35K is Level 0, 35K is Level 1, Collaborator is Level 2, 150K+ is Whale - Level system was subject of early conversations - To get Level 2 status, need to be invited to the Genesis team (or by people with the Contributor tag) - Liquidity Providers have separate status - Having levels baked into a hierarchy isn't ideal, so was a goal to get away from this quickly. There is no longer any gating and separation of channels (only separation is that Level 0 doesn't have *write* permission on channels but they are still *read-only*) ### DAO Structures and Organizational Structures - Level System: - Not necessary bad — there are different levels of engagement - Different amounts of skin in the game → levels - How to differentiate folks with more skin in the game and more engagement/participation? - Is "level" the right terminology? - Could there be an internal, community mechanism for participation? - Similar conversations with folks rising to leadership levels, but must be careful that this isn't perceived (or elevated to) a hierarchy where there are folks who can individually fire someone from the DAO - "Decentralization maxi" vs. "Coordination maxi" - Have legitimate ways of challenging decisions regardless of standing in the community — Letting arguments and conversations stand on their own - **Storytelling, narrative, and language about how leadership structures are communicated is at the heart of discussion around DAO working styles** - Honeymoon phase of DAOs — need to be careful to avoid burnout at the onset - "Progressive decentralization" — how far on the decentralization continuum to go? - [Holocracy](https://www.holacracy.org/) ****organizational structure: - Instead of leadership decisions and hierarchies, you have roles that people occupy - Roles have responsibilities and specific domains - BanklessDAO has guilds comprised of folks with specific skillsets - Responsibilities, not positions of power - [Teal Organizations](https://workology.com/what-is-a-teal-organization/) - *Emergence* is a powerful aspect of DAO/Wholocracy structures - Natural collaboration coming out of collaboration and cross-pollination across Guilds - *Soft-consensus* and rapidly expanding circles of consensus across participants in the DAO - Informal methods (such as emojis/upvotes, polls, etc.) in Discord channels - Talk about an idea → people naturally get interested and fill in the gaps and workshop the progression → informal proposal (power of *emergence* where folks collaborating and sharing ideas who may not otherwise have collaborated outside of this type of structure) - **Roadmaps, Visions, Manifestos** are iterative documents that are changing over time but members can lean on these when there are disputes or discussion about forking - These documents can change, but these are the DAO's guiding principles, mission, and vision - There's always the future goal that the DAO is heading to - Concept of *Seasons* - Periods of time focusing on particular objectives - Organize the work around objectives and initial goals on roadmap - Scope often smaller and very well defined - Do the work, focus on MVP, take notes on best practices and continuous improvement, share out the best practices and findings, iterate on process - Developing revenue streams, building infrastructure to support these streams, growth, and scalability - [https://frogmonkee.substack.com/p/coordinating-labor-in-daos-the-dao](https://frogmonkee.substack.com/p/coordinating-labor-in-daos-the-dao) - Things once considered expert knowledge a few years ago are now much more available - BanklessDAO is a *Media DAO* - DAO has been given a brand - Ethos has been well established and permeated throughout the DAO community - Mission-alignment on spreading the core message, vision, and values ### Token Distribution and Governance - **"Tokens are capital and capital is power, especially with regards to governance."** - How is value awarded? Especially when creating a brand with tremendous recognition and value (Bankless LLC team's work prior to the DAO launch) - How do you recognize this value retroactively? - These types of treasuries could be a good use-case for a MolochDAO (as opposed to a multi-sig) as it's more scalable when including more folks ### Raid Guild Model - Bankless Guilds are a good place for sub-DAO structures similar to Raid Guild to spin up - Raid Guild model of coordinating folks with individual skillsets and mapping to projects is effective - "MVP of DAOs being able to coordinate labor to produce products and services." - Bankless Guilds supporting initiatives of the DAO - Would benefit from same coordination structure that Raid Guild pioneered and uses - Natural overlap: Couldn't Raid Guild function as the Bankless Dev Guild? - "DAO on DAO": Fuzzy structures hard to tell where one begins and ends - Squads and connections, high-intimacy groups built around skills become the stars (not necessarily the DAOs themselves) - Raid Parties start with chats on channels and the people working on these ideas come from different talent groups - Raid Parties are a collection of various talents coming together to work on bringing forth a product/idea - *Talent Driven* vs. *Purpose Driven* as organization structure of teams and groups - For larger projects, there often needs to be a higher-level view than strictly a talent driven team - Potential inspiration for social structures: *Friends With Benefits* - Raid Guild Origin: freelance product designers/developers loosely organizing into a model similar to a co-op, and then evolved into a "Front Tavern" and "Back Tavern" - Raid Party idea originating from a product development background and recognizing *coordination cost* often coming from adding lots of folks to a project team - Use the larger network as a resource talent pool but smaller, focused teams able to make lots of progress - Raid Guild started from group of 3 people and organically grew from that - Sharing learning is so important and is an amplifier ## Looking Forward - What does the future look like when there are multiple DAOs working together? - Communities interacting with each other — what does this look like when each DAO potentially has its own token? - Can be viewed as similar to citizenships and a way to align incentives - How will these types of alignments happen over time, and what will emerge? - Holding tokens as way of being aligned with community - Idea: Tie token to some theoretical amount of yield for holding it - Conviction voting and Quadratic voting - ## Additional Resources and References - [Holocracy](https://www.holacracy.org/) - [Teal Organizations](https://workology.com/what-is-a-teal-organization/) - [frogmonkee's Substack](https://frogmonkee.substack.com)

GitHub Link General Notes and Questions (to be organized) Catch all for various questions -- added a header for grouped questions Scope Do we want to focus on this being read only (reading proposals and having notifications sent) or do we want to also support write (creating, supporting, voting, processing, executing proposals) This probably depends on our user stories and what we identify as the core pain points we want to address with this --

DAOhaus Haus Party LIVE! Notes

Last updated: 5/20/21 @10:43pm EST I'll periodically be updating this doc! Link to the Twitch recording: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1029240016 Notes from the Livestream I tried to roughly organize these notes into themes, but there were many interconnecting threads throughout the video. I've tried to add timestamps (roughly accurate — will refine with links!) for certain topics and notes but many of these themes were present throughout the talk. NFTs, Art, and Social Capital
