Standardizing DAOs

Hi everyone,

We just posted a “working paper” version of the DAO standard here: EIP-1234 Decentralized Autonomous Organizations!

Short summary: A standard URI and JSON schema for decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), focusing on relating on-chain and off-chain representations of membership and proposals.

Why we need it now: The working paper has a longer rationale that you can read, but based on the past four months of roundtable conversations with frameworks, tooling developers, and DAOs, there is strong consensus across the ecosystem that a daoURI + JSON schema, similar to tokenURI, is immediately useful and a great first step toward other DAO standards.

For those of you at ETH Denver next week, we will be presenting the draft at Schelling Point & ETH Denver. We’ll also be setting up a series of community calls to invite comment + discussion, and will post more details the week after next.

Cheers,
Josh, Isaac, Ido, Zargham, Eyal, Sam, and many others on the DAOstar team
