What is a DAO in Blockchain?
summary
Defines DAOs as organizations whose rules live in smart contracts, with voting power tied to tokens and a community driving decisions. Cites roughly 6,000 DAOs registered and a crypto market cap of 1.76 trillion (May), stresses a white paper with tokenomics and governance, and names the core problems: no legal standing, closest analogy is a general partnership with unlimited personal liability, plus AML/KYC and contracting hurdles unless founders add legal wrappers and strong security.
