Potential Research Questions

from Stanford DAO Workshop:

How do DAOs win (where are they the optimal organizational form)?

How can DAOs improve their operational efficiency?

How to create a system of peer review to reach consensus on standard vocab / terms?

What do DAOs do today? How can we make governance maximally useful?

How do we rightsize rules and structures for DAOs to fulfill their purpose?

How can we create optimal incentive structures for bounties?

from Evolution of Decentralized Governance by Andrew Hall:

Who participates and why? How can we increase informed participation? Can tokens be designed to incentivize contributions?

What coalitions form, and where? Can there be stable coalitions that clarify stakes of decisions for stakeholders?

How do different governance structures change who participates, what is proposed, what outcomes are produced, and which organizations ultimately succeed?
