Slaying the Dragon: The Quest for Democracy in Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs)
Stefano Balietti, Pietro Saggese, Stefan Kitzler, Bernhard Haslhofer
本章探讨了分散自治组织(DAO),一种基于区块链技术的新型机构形式,如何挑战传统的集中式治理结构。 DAO管理从金融到科学和数字社区的项目。 它们旨在通过可编程、透明和参与式机制重新分配决策权。 本章既概述了DAO所带来的机会,如激励调整,快速协调和审查抵制,以及他们面临的挑战,包括代币集中,参与度低和事实上集中化的风险。 它进一步讨论了DAO和人工智能的新兴交叉点,强调了自动化增加的潜力以及人类监督和算法不透明性减少的危险。 最终,我们讨论在什么情况下DAO可以履行其民主承诺或冒险复制他们寻求克服的权力不对称。

DAOs govern projects ranging from finance to science and digital communities. They aim to redistribute decision-making power through programmable, transparent, and participatory mechanisms. This chapter outlines both the opportunities DAOs present, such as incentive alignment, rapid coordination, and censorshi...
