Nearly $100M has been spent on gas for the BAYC land sale in one hour. This is money that could have gone to Yuga or stayed in user's pockets. The contract had nearly zero gas optimizations. I'll explain a few gas optimization tricks that could have saved many millions below 👇

Implementing these gas optimizations would be as simple as: 1. Change the word "ERC721Enumerable" to "ERC721" 2. Import ERC721A 3. Change the word "_safeMint()" to "_mint()" Modifying a few words would have saved $80M+. This is why knowing the underlying system is so important.

Gas optimization 1: Remove the ERC721Enumerable extension. The ERC721Enumerable extension is used to track the owners of an NFT on-chain. Mints that remove the ERC721Enumerable extension save around 70% in gas costs. This tiny change would have saved around $70M this hour.

Gas optimization 2: Use ERC721A (). ERC721A is a standard developed by the @AzukiOfficial team. This extension means that minting multiple NFTs to the same wallet is nearly the same price as minting a single NFT. This would save money for every multi-mint.

The CFTC is claiming that all participants in DAO governance can be held liable for a DAO's actions. This is a horrible precedent. It means that both on-chain governance voters AND multi-sig signers have liability, but on-chain governance spreads liability to many more people.

The ERC721Enumerable extension is mostly unnecessary. In the majority of cases, tracking ownership on-chain is not useful. Why? You can just grab the data off-chain on the front-end and pass it into smart contracts instead! Every front-end is able to handle this easily.

Gas optimization 3: Switch from _safeMint() to _mint() _safeMint() checks every address to ensure that it can handle NFTs. If the address is not able to handle NFTs, it ensures that the transaction will fail. This is unnecessary. Every address minting can likely handle NFTs.

ERC721A makes transfers slightly more expensive but mints dramatically cheaper. In this case where the gas fees on the mint are so high, this is clearly worth it. The vast majority of the mints were multi-mints. All of these incurred 2X or more in unnecessary costs ($10M+)

_safeMint() is one of the more annoying and unnecessary parts of the ERC721 standard. In theory it ensures that mints are going to wallets that can handle NFTs, in practice it adds gas and makes mints less safe! This condition is only hit for very non-standard smart contracts.

The community can decide whether Loot, More Loot, or both are eligible for future $AGLD claim seasons. The $AGLD contract supports any underlying NFT for claims, so there is nothing stopping the community from deciding to expand the pool of $AGLD holders.

Many people have a narrow definition of decentralization. They define "decentralized" as "trustless on-chain governance". This framing may actually be less decentralized and autonomous than other DAO structures. Some different ways to think about decentralization 👇

A number of people have asked me for tips. One method that we use often at @SyndicateDAO is: 1. Allowlist a subset of addresses 2. Give them a limited amount of time to mint 3. Allowlist the next subset. Repeat until minted out. This prevents everyone trying to mint at once.

Of course, gas optimizations are only one part of the equation. You need a better mint mechanism design (allowlist, Dutch auction) + gas optimizations. Money spent on gas is money that could go to builders. This takes place both via the design of the mint + the smart contract.

The key to minimizing airdrop regret: Sell half for ETH at what you think is a good price and use it to LP the liquidity pool. In the best case (like $ENS), you outperform 100% HODL. In average cases (like $SOS) you've reduced a lot of risk while still making profits on volume.

DAOs trade efficiency for resiliency. DAOs are much less efficient than companies and coordination is much harder. Everyone who runs DAOs feels this. But in exchange, DAOs achieve resiliency. A DAO removes single points of failure, making it easier to survive for the long-term.

DAOs will shift fundraising from capital allocators to capital networks. Instead of a small handful of firms getting allocations, it will be a large network of contributors. We're already seeing this at @SyndicateDAO daily. This future is here, it's just not evenly distributed.

The most important existential problem for DAOs is that it's more profitable to start something new than contribute to something that exists. This is the single biggest barrier to long-term value for DAOs. Why hope to get paid $5K via governance when you can own X% of the supply?

My favorite aspect of smart contracts is that you can write them once and then they run autonomously forever. This is why Vitalik sometimes calls them persistent scripts. This seemed like science fiction just a decade and a half ago. (Daemon was one book that inspired Ethereum)

What is another take on the definition of decentralization? Decentralization = "Does this organization avoid single points of failure?" Autonomous = "Can members act with autonomy?" This is closer to the original vision of Daemon, rather than the current narrow definition.

There is a team of five people working on $AGLD staking, myself included. All of us are doing it for zero compensation because we love tokenomics and care about $AGLD. It’s in progress, but the details are complex + important to get right. Here are the questions we're discussing:

What are the implications of this paradigm shift? Lower take rates because web3 protocols require less maintenance than their web2 counterparts. Money and ownership flows to users. This report by @variantfund is a great description of this shift:

Very excited to support @utopialabs_ on their journey and partner with them via @SyndicateDAO . DAO payroll is critical infrastructure to allow DAOs to go head-to-head with traditional corporations. An important step in allowing people to work for a DAO and receive upside together

This vote is extremely close -- too close to call. Regardless of the outcome, we know that votes need a clear majority to be seen as legitimate by the community. After the vote concludes, we will: 1. Pass a vote threshold 2. Share a proposal that was designed for a 50/50 outcome

Six hours left on a vote for accepting $AGLD as the governance token for Loot: The outcome of this vote will inform the upcoming proposals that reconcile the interests of $AGLD, Loot, and mLoot holders. It will also inform the governance structure for Loot

Quick update on $AGLD staking: @garythung is working on it for the AGLD and Loot community! The repo is at . It's being built and is in progress. Follow @garythung for updates on the staking code! Gary is one of the most thoughtful builders in the space 💯

Seeking staking ideas for $AGLD! How might we allow someone to stake Loot/mLoot while still keeping it in their wallet? Existing staking code could work, but then staked Loot couldn't be used by games. One mechanism is what I call signaling. Requires more game theory to work:

Question for Crypto Lawyers: What is the best way for a multi-sig signer or on-chain delegate to achieve limited liability protection? e.g. Is there a standard agreement for assigning a wallet address to an LLC or other corporate entity? (Preferably for US-based entities)

You may notice that the core of this disagreement is around the definition of autonomy. Are we focused on making systems autonomous or making people autonomous? I believe that equipping people to be autonomous is what matters for DAOs to scale. Many others disagree with this.

This NFT fundraise by @StewartBrandDoc is a very elegant use of @viamirror crowdfunds. Providing beautiful NFTs + adding unlockable content is such a delightful way to reward 1,000 true fans. I wouldn't be surprised if it quickly becomes the de facto model for funding new art

@minebuu_ @BalancedPortfo1 @Hill79025920 Yes, we've had a great discussion about this in the AGLD Discord! I would propose: 1. Signal your Loot bag initially 2. Every week, you are eligible to claim an airdrop 3. If you move your bag without unsignaling, anyone on the network can unsignal your bag and receive the AGLD

These ideas were inspired by @owocki 's thoughtful thread. I also want to thank founders for deep conversations at DAO Camp @creatorcabins . I have deep respect for the view of DAOs as trustless and I believe it's important. It's just not the only option.

The community has hurt itself by restrictively defining DAO to mean "a community group embracing the tyranny of structurelessness". There's been a rather successful movement to discredit the efforts of any DAO with even a loosely centralized structure as "not being a real DAO".

This is a fantastic description of @GenesisLoot and captures exactly why the collaboration in the game is so fun The Loot universe is already a playable MMO, but no one realizes it yet since the UI is on-chain rather than a video game. We're already in the Loot Metaverse 🤯
