    The New Original DAO...Run it back!

    In this episode we sit down with Griff Green, one of the earliest DAO builders and a core figure in Ethereum’s governance history — from the original DAO era through today’s next-generation coordination experiments.Griff was closely involved around the first DAO and helped lead white-hat recovery efforts during the 2016 DAO crisis. Since then, he has gone on to co-found and support multiple ecosystem projects focused on decentralized funding, public goods, and governance design, including Giveth, the Commons Stack, and several token engineering and coordination initiatives.This is not a surface-level DAO hype conversation. This is a rebuild conversation.We go deep on what actually failed in early DAO designs, what people misunderstood about decentralized governance, and what it will realistically take to redo the DAO model in a way that works — socially, economically, and technically.We cover:What really went wrong (and right) with the first DAOLessons learned from DAO governance failures and exploitsWhy most DAOs struggle with participation and decision qualityIncentive design vs voting designFunding public goods without governance captureToken engineering, bonding curves, and coordination mechanismsWhat a “DAO 2.0” architecture needs to includeWhether truly decentralized governance can scaleIf you care about DAOs, crypto governance, public goods funding, or coordination at scale — this conversation is required context from someone who was there at the beginning and is still building forward.Subscribe for more deep crypto conversations — no price talk, no hype cycles, just signal.Drop your question in the comments:👉 What must change for DAOs to actually work this time?👉 Subscribe, comment, and clip your favorite moment.👉 Tell us in the comments: What’s your biggest question about re-architecting DAOs?

    Crypto+AI= Need for Better DAOs

    Join us as we dissect the evolving landscape of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), moving beyond the "chat room with a bank account" stereotype. We dive into Vitalik Buterin's vision for better DAOs, exploring critical functions like improved oracles and dispute resolution, and debate the role of human politics versus programmatic efficiency. Discover how concepts like "problem geometry" and "sequenced governance" offer a path to more mature, robust, and effective DAOs, leveraging cutting-edge tools like AI and Zero-Knowledge proofs to overcome decision fatigue and human vulnerabilities.

    The Argument for An Ideal DAO

    Most DAOs sound great… until it’s time to make decisions, pay contributors, and ship work consistently. In this episode, we’re designing the ideal DAO and confronting the hard parts: governance that doesn’t stall, incentives that don’t get gamed, treasury systems that protect the community, and a structure that can scale without losing its mission.

    Do Builders Have Responsibility Beyond Tooling?

    Crypto didn’t remove trust — it refactored it.Which means the real question isn’t whether blockchains work… it’s whether the people who build them bear any responsibility for what happens next.In this episode we extend the previous conversation on crypto literacy, privacy UX, and incentive design to tackle a hard question with no clean answers:Do builders have responsibility beyond tooling?We explore the “blacksmith problem,” the myth of neutral systems, and how zero-knowledge, chain analysis, and UX choices shape outcomes — intentionally or not. This is not a price talk episode. It’s about the ethics, incentives, and trade-offs embedded in decentralized infrastructure.Topics Covered • Crypto literacy and centralization of expertise • Privacy vs usability (and why it’s not zero-sum) • Trust: from institutions → networks → intermediaries • The “neutral tools” dilemma in Web3 • When incentives create harm (and who owns it) • ZK systems, mixers, forensics, and emergent behavior • Builders vs system designers vs policymakersKey QuestionWhere does technical responsibility end, and ethical responsibility begin?If you’re new hereThis episode continues directly from last week’s cliffhanger.
