summary
Panel lays out concrete experiments and limits: Gitcoin runs quadratic funding and matches roughly Gitcoin Grants $3M this round, packaging three years of tests into "Grants 2.0"; Tribute Labs builds operational tooling to keep investment and service DAOs engaged and long-lived; optimism prototypes a bicameral governance with a token house and citizens house to reduce plutocracy. Several DAOs are production-ready, gas and UX remain major gaps.
