A Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) of DAOs
Wulf A. Kaal · 2021
A well-governed DAO of DAOs can provide technological and community solutions for the evolution of the DAO ecosystem. Through its technological infrastructure designs, a DAO of DAOs can create, improve and expand well-functioning and well-governed networks of DAOs. That DAO infrastructure, in turn, improves most of the applications and uses of digital assets and decentralized commerce for the greater good of society. This article examines the core features of a possible DAO of DAOs design, its ability to expand the DAO ecosystem, and the design’s uses in business and society.

The author is grateful for ongoing discussions about DAO solutions with Craig Calcaterra. Many features of the DAO of DAO concept discussed herein are based on co-authored articles with Craig Calcaterra. The author is also very grateful for the many comments and suggestions he received from the decentralized community. It would not be feasible to name all who helped with comments or suggestions on community calls since the year 2020 but the author is particularly grateful for support received in the context of this draft manuscript from Timothy Messer, Hayley Howe, Timothy Lewis, Marco Aniballi, and Matt Coolidge. 1 Electronic copy available at: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3799320
