\subsection{DAO Governance}
|
|
|
|
DAOs coordinate collective decision-making through smart contracts.
|
|
MakerDAO pioneered DeFi governance \citep{mcdao2017}; Compound's
|
|
Governor framework standardized on-chain proposal-vote-execute patterns
|
|
\citep{compound2020governance}. However, governance participation remains
|
|
low and plutocratic \citep{barbereau2022defi}.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Quadratic Mechanisms}
|
|
|
|
Quadratic voting (QV) \citep{lalley2018quadratic} makes the cost of
|
|
expressing preference intensity scale quadratically: $K$ votes cost
|
|
$K^2$ credits. This produces welfare-optimal outcomes under standard
|
|
assumptions \citep{posner2018radical}. Quadratic funding (QF)
|
|
\citep{buterin2019flexible} extends QV to public goods, where matching
|
|
funds amplify small contributions. Gitcoin has deployed QF for Ethereum
|
|
ecosystem grants, distributing over \$50M \citep{gitcoin2023}.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Reputation Systems}
|
|
|
|
On-chain reputation is implemented through soulbound tokens (SBTs)
|
|
\citep{weyl2022decentralized}---non-transferable tokens representing
|
|
credentials. SourceCred \citep{sourcecred2020} and Coordinape
|
|
\citep{coordinape2021} provide peer attestation-based alternatives.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Science DAOs}
|
|
|
|
Existing science DAOs include VitaDAO (longevity), LabDAO (computational
|
|
biology), Molecule (drug discovery IP-NFTs), and ResearchHub (open science
|
|
discussion). Zoo DAO differs by focusing on conservation science,
|
|
incorporating multi-stakeholder governance, and implementing quadratic
|
|
mechanisms designed for research allocation.
