Life-of-DAO Frameworks
summary
Argues that DAOs routinely die and that death can be designed for: common causes are mission completion, lack of attention, market failure or token discount to NAV (example Rook Phi: ~$6M token market cap vs ~$45M treasury), running out of runway, or poor treasury ops. Recommends concrete tools — rage quit, liquid vs non-transferable governance, delegation plus evaluation, and forced decision points (time-, attention-, mission-based) implemented with builders like Bitbacker. Gives case data (xdx Dao dissolved ~2.5 months ago, Uniswap ~360k governance wallets) and urges ephemeral, mission-bound DAOs.
