dxDAO: The Evolution of Governance and the Ownership Economy
summary
Argues that current DAO governance reproduces plutocracy by relying on token voting through snapshot server and Gnosis Safe multisigs, causing proposals to be gated by capital and ~hundred dollars in gas for simple actions. Cites Metaverse Index, Sushi integrations and the Uniswap education fund debacle as concrete failures of oversight. Describes a Governance 2.0 working group (Delphi, DAOstack, 1kx) that prototypes on‑chain reputation non-transferable scores (SourceCred, forum/Discord signals) combined with token lockups to weight votes; DXdao runs reputation today and moves toward a hybrid that’s still experimental.
