WTF is MolochDAO? <!-- Source: https://molochdao.com/docs/introduction/wtf-is-moloch -->  👹 *Moloch whose mind is pure machinery! Moloch whose blood is running money!* ---- ### WTF is MolochDAO? * Moloch is a simple, open-source DAO framework. * It maximizes: * Security (less code, less bugs) * Usability (complex tech but easiest to understand and use) * Extensibility (to meet evolving community needs) * Minimum Viable DAO design * **Ragequit**: a novel mechanic allowing any member to exit shares/loot and retrieve pro-rata their assets held in the DAO treasury. ---- ### WTF is MolochDAO? Born on February 14, 2019 Its initial aim was to fund and further the development of public infrastructure related to Eth 2.0. ---- ### Who is Moloch?  God of child sacrifice ---- #### Who is Moloch?  In ancient times, Carthaginians believed that sacrificing a child to Moloch in times of war would increase the odds of their tribe’s victory Members that didn’t participate were seen as risking the survival of the entire group ---- #### Meditations on Moloch by Scott Alexander An essay about competition, game theory, and multipolar traps {%youtube SeohwQls2GE %} [Go Quest](https://gitcoin.co/quests/26/meditations-on-moloch) ---- #### Meditations on Moloch #### TLDR; Human beings’ tendency to consistently choose suboptimal solutions to group coordination problems “Moloch” is an ironic joke about the possible futility of attempting to solve coordination problems. It is also a meme in and of itself -- one which we hope spreads awareness of the core problem and the recognition of real life Moloch problems. --- ### 2.1 MolochDAO  #### Disecting the Original [Whitepaper](https://github.com/MolochVentures/Whitepaper/blob/master/Whitepaper.pdf) ---- #### MolochDAO - Game Theory **Philosophy** * Tragedy of the commons [[Ref](http://science.sciencemag.org/content/162/3859/1243.full)] * The Prisioner's Dilemma [[Ref](http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/PRISDIL.html)] * Logic of Collective Action [[Ref](http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674537514)] * Governing the Commons[[Ref](https://www.amazon.com/Governing-Commons-Evolution-Institutions-Collective/dp/1107569788)] ---- #### MolochDAO - Game Theory **Aligning Incentives** * Restructuring incentives so that costs and benefits are split equally amongst all participants * Pooling user funds and locking them up in The GuildBank * GuildBank contributors get voting rights over treasury mgmt proportional to their contribution relative to the total pool. ---- #### MolochDAO - Game Theory **Aligning Incentives** * Two additional mechanisms * Members of the DAO are able to liquidate their votes to retrieve a proportional share of the funds from the guild * Strong financial incentive to members to try to maximize the value of their votes * (1) by increasing their proportional ownership of the pool * (2) by increasing the value of the pool overall. ---- #### MolochDAO - Game Theory **Self vs Group Interest** * For a rational investor, it makes sense to invest in a proposal when that proposal is likely to increase the value of the pool by more than the cost that is split amongst all members. * Note here that we are not actually inflating the value of the underlying asset (Ether), just of the index (voting shares in the Moloch DAO) which represents the asset. ---- #### MolochDAO - Game Theory **Restricting Access** * Assumptions * Members of the DAO will be at least somewhat aligned on overarching purpose * Members will be willing to sacrifice short term benefit in order to pursue the purpose of the DAO In a truly permissionless paradigm, these would not be acceptable assumptions to make ---- #### MolochDAO - Game Theory **Restricting Access** * Restricting access to joining the guild by having existing members vote on new entrants in a similar fashion to funding proposals. * existing members are naturally incentivized to **only admit new entrants who are aligned with the guild’s interests** in order to share costs with them * existing members will consider previous interactions with that applicant which will drive applicants towards longer-term benefit strategies ---- #### MolochDAO - Game Theory **Ragequitting** * In any voting-based system, there are a large number of edge cases created by possible collusion or unavailability of stakeholders * Ragequit - a catch-all mechanism that allows participants to exit with their funds if they did not agree with the result of a vote - during grace period ---- #### MolochDAO - Game Theory **Ragequitting** * Cost is greatly increased for those who stay * So restrict Ragequitting to only members who voted “No” in a given proposal if the proposal passes * “Yes” voters to bear the cost of a malicious proposal. ---- #### MolochDAO - Game Theory **Ragequitting** * Create an interesting additional meta-incentive for mutual cooperation * strongly disincentivized to submit proposals that might cause a large proportion of other members to ragequit * There's also a strong incentive for members to not abuse the ragequit mechanism ---- #### MolochDAO - Game Theory **Free Riders** * How do we ensure that other entities do not also share in the benefit of an ecosystem when the cost is paid only by a single or small group of projects? ---- #### MolochDAO - Game Theory **Free Riders** * Solving this problem is not possible when the Guild Bank is collateralized only with wETH as all ETH holders would always share in some of the benefit of Ethereum’s upgrade and the increased price/utility of ETH * However, we do still believe that there are enough stakeholders who care enough about coordinating around ---- #### MolochDAO - Game Theory **Free Riders** * When the Guild Bank contains assets besides just ETH (Project Token), this will become a much more complex calculus ---- #### MolochDAO - Game Theory **Hypercompetition and Forked Evolution** * The Ragequit mechanism can push Moloch to fragment into sub-entities when contentious disagreements are reached * **This is a feature, not a flaw** * We want Moloch to be forked, upgraded and iterated on rapidly, both with new onchain and offchain mechanisms ---- #### MolochDAO - Game Theory **Hypercompetition and Forked Evolution** * Guild Size * members are incentivized towards increasing the pool value since it would mean a lower per-person cost per proposal * or incentivized to keep guild small enough to retain voting power and keep guild philosophy aligned on a specific goal * this will eventually create a hypercompetitive market for Moloch DAOs ---- #### MolochDAO - Game Theory Hypercompetition and Forked Evolution <!--  --> <figure> <img src="https://i.imgur.com/1eUrZTe.jpg" alt="MetaCartel" style="max-width: 50%;"> <figcaption align="center" style="font-size: 20px"><b>From solving cryptoeconomic research problems surrounding MetaTx to launching of a DApp incubator</b></figcaption> </figure> ---- #### MolochDAO - Game Theory Hypercompetition and Forked Evolution <!-- Source: https://medium.com/openlawofficial/the-lao-a-for-profit-limited-liability-autonomous-organization-9eae89c9669c -->  A For-Profit LLC DAO ---- #### MolochDAO - Game Theory Hypercompetition and Forked Evolution  Web3 Legal Engineering Guild [Ricardian](https://iang.org/papers/ricardian_contract.html) contracting system — the bridge between traditional legal regimes and the Ethereum world --- ### 2.2 MolochDAO  #### Disecting Moloch <!-- What the devil are Moloch DAOs, and why should you care?
