Critical Perspectives

Community concerns and opposing viewpoints

1

DAOs are failing to live up to their promise — many replies call token governance a cosmetic democracy that just replicates oligarchies, with repeated lines like “token voting created new oligarchs” and “in 99% cases dao is not working

2

People want clear, accountable leadership — commenters repeatedly argue for a defined chain of command or “one super‑competent genius” rather than diffuse, anonymous governance

Financial anxiety and exit pressure dominate many replies — pleas to “exit Ethereum at breakeven,” calls for more “green candles” and accusations that people will pump, dump and rug token holders

Frustration turns personal and profane — several replies are angry, dismissive or mocking (“Eth is shit,” threats and insults), signaling emotional burn from losses and broken promises

Calls for fewer, higher‑quality DAOs — a frequent stance is that the ecosystem needs less quantity and more robust, well‑designed DAOs that can safely handle large money and power

Memes and culture spill in alongside critique — references to “Milady,” “buttcoin,” $AVICI and other in‑jokes show the conversation mixes earnest governance debate with crypto humor

Some suggest automation as the future — a few replies float delegating governance to AI or making DAOs more autonomous, reflecting a split between skepticism of human systems and hope for technical fixes

Non‑English voices amplify the same wounds — Chinese replies echo concerns about lost capital and unmet promises, tying philosophical debate to real financial harm

A handful of defenders and niche believers remain — mentions like “The only DAO I believe is Avici” show pockets of trust, but they’re outnumbered by calls for reform and caution

nothing you make will ever be more efficient than chaim and yitzhak shaking hands over a contract ever i believe in humanity and the human soul as the only form of trust

Bruh... you sold the best DAO token ever made... twice... And now, $CULT DAO and @ModulusZK is going to make you regret it https://t.co/Tu3Erf3Vi4

@ameensol

chainlink is a DAO the chainlink corporation's shareholder DAO controls the chainlink board of directors subDAO who control the executives subSubDAO who control the oracle what's wrong with this? if chainlink corp was onchain, would you consider this a solved problem?

Supporting Voices

Community members who agree with this perspective

1

Token-vote treasuries are failing

Replies converge on the idea that treating DAOs as “multisigs with marketing” or token-weighted voting engines produces capture, low participation, and governance theater rather than durable coordination.

2

Privacy (ZK) is non-negotiable

Many argue that private voting and deliberation stop governance from becoming a social dominance game, reduce bribery risk, and protect sensitive, adversarial use-cases like political defense funds.

3

Decision fatigue needs product-level fixes, not more votes

Local LLMs, AI-assisted delegation, and UX patterns that filter and summarize proposals are proposed to keep humans in control while preventing burnout.

4

Different problems need different primitives — oracles and disputes ≠ treasury votes

Commenters stress a split between fact-finding (cryptographic oracles/VRF, sensor data) and interpretation/dispute layers (UMA-style social primitives) rather than one-size token voting.

5

Role separation and accountable execution matter

Proposals favor small accountable groups, curated councils, or delegated specialists for convex decisions, with larger crowds used for signal/validation on concave problems.

6

Capture and centralization remain real threats

Many warn whales, coordinated off-chain actors, and even governments can hijack DAOs; suggested mitigations include proof-of-humanity, vesting/quality-weighted voting, and separation of capital from truth.

7

Make the communication layer first-class infrastructure. A recurring point is that governance is 50% communication

private deliberation tools, consensus visualization, and composable comms layers should be core protocol plumbing, not afterthought UIs.

8

Practical stack ideas are surfacing

People cite VRF for randomness, ZK voting, AI filters, markets as signal layers, and cashflow automation (Monaris-style) as concrete building blocks for next-gen DAOs.

9

There’s broad optimism and active experimentation

Numerous projects, pilots, and community experiments (1h1v approaches, M87, ownership coins, DAOs-as-a-service) are named as proof that the space is moving from critique to prototype.

10

Design, not ideology, is the call to action

The thread pushes builders to stop cloning token-vote defaults and instead focus on governance mechanics, privacy, delegation, and tooling so DAOs can actually coordinate, defend, and maintain shared infrastructure long-term.

@RamXBT

study ownership coins, study Avici DAO 🏛️🫡 you mentioned futarchy in ethereum’s whitepaper as a concept, avici and ownership coins are futarchy in production. solves decision fatigue, treasury protection to execute like a silicon valley startup while having market oversight.

@easytopredict

how do you manage to perfectly turn every one of vitalik's ideas into reality? maybe it's the builder's spirit that's driving you @z0r0zzz
