Peeramid labs: Research grant for DAO novel token mechanics

[peersky]

Project Abstract

This document is a research proposal focused on decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and Polkadot's ecosystem.

It aims to investigate the limitations of current DAO governance, explore interoperability, and address challenges within the Polkadot ecosystem.

The research will delve into decoupling governance from speculative investment, utilizing privacy-preserving techniques, and improving participation rates through merit-oriented protocols.

The methodology includes literature review, community surveys, and data analysis. The expected results are a refined research paper, deeper understanding of DAO governance challenges, and potential contributions to the Web3 community.

The team has experience in decentralized governance and blockchain development, and the project is currently in the initial research phase.

The research findings will be shared through publications and presentations, with the long-term goal of enhancing DAO governance and contributing to a more secure and participatory Web3 ecosystem.
