Introducing SeeDAO governance

Han Tang (SeeDAO)

03-May-2023, 16:00-17:00 (12 months ago)

Abstract: SeeDAO is the most influential DAO in the Chinese-speaking world, and its governance model has deeply influenced the development of Chinese-speaking DAOs. Unlike NounsDAO, SeeDAO is an organization driven by contributors rather than capital, and its governance authority distribution is based on SBT obtained through labor rather than NFT or erc-20 tokens which can be bought in the market. With this governance model, SeeDAO has established a network of more than 1000 community contributors and 10,000 DAO members in 15 countries around the world. In this seminar, I will introduce SeeDAO's governance model in detail, including:

- The evolution history of SeeDAO’s governance model: the era of a company named CryptoC; dissolution of the company; dictatorship; setting SeeDAO’s constitution; public governance - Dual Token Model: Liquidity Tokens and Non-Transferable Governance Tokens; - Token distribution model which we name as “POW” based on cooperative spirit, and how it influences SeeDAO’s community culture; - How SBTs are used in SeeDAO and why we emphasize the use of SBTs(education, work experience, activity, etc.) - Hierarchical governance based on contribution recorded by SBTs : how to improve governance efficiency and prevent DAO governance attacks; - The gamification mechanism of DAO: sustainable incentives and how members find meaning in DAO. - SeeDAO’s Operation system (Open-source) - An imagination of network states: co-build, co-share.
