S3 E9 | Building the Digital City of Cities w/Julia Rosenberg & Chase Chapman

In this episode of Rehash, we sat down with Julia Rosenberg and Chase Chapman from Metropolis to discuss all things DAOs, governance, and Metropolis.

Julia started learning about crypto after being frustrated with web2 scaling models in her startup journey, which eventually led her to co-founding Metropolis (previously Orca Protocol.) Chase fell down the crypto rabbit hole while working in marketing and data analytics. After graduating college she dove headfirst into the DAO ecosystem and started contributing to DAOs full time. She eventually started her own podcast, On the Other Side, where she talks about the human aspects of web3. Eventually she met Julia and fell in love with Orca Protocol (now Metropolis) before joining the team there.

Julia and Chase lay some groundwork for the episode by defining governance, not only in the DAO ecosystem, but much more broadly. We compare DAOs to digital cities and discuss the transition from corporate structures to DAOs, which transfers more ownership to members and gives them more autonomy over their work. We touch on the complexity of DAOs, the ways in which they are failing, the ways in which they can benefit humanity, and how Metropolis is enabling them to achieve better governance. 

Julia and Chase explain the Metropolis rebrand and help listeners understand how the protocol works on a very basic and tangible level. We discuss the importance of organizations being human centric and scalable, and the two share how they have seen DAOs evolve as well as how they think they’ll evolve in the coming years.
