gm 2021 was an amazing year for DAOs. DAOs have shown us their unstoppable power to bring people together, to build innovative products, and grow thriving communities. Let's take some time to reflect on memorable DAO moments from this year.

DAOs Wrapped 2021

The Pod primitive is @orcaprotocol ’s lightweight solution for building governance around people based on their expertise, not just their wallet. The modular nature of pods means that they can float happily in the metaverse as independent agents or interoperate as part of a DAO.

Decision making should be pushed as much as possible to edge nodes as they are closer to the data sources. If you find yourself doing much top-down micromanaging, then you either have a subpar team (replace nodes) or you’re the problem (trust/control issues).
