In this episode of DAO Today, host Aleksa Mil sits down with Daniel Ospina from RnDAO (previously Aragon) to discuss the governance and community challenges DAOs face.

They explore the diluted ideology, the tension between innovation and traditional startup practices, and the importance of designing governance and operations while considering legal requirements and global talent. The episode emphasizes the need for a sustainable and engaged community, touches on the limitations of financial incentives, and explores the potential of citizen juries as a governance mechanism.

Tune in for valuable insights into the world of DAOs and the importance of effective governance and operations.

In this episode, Aleksa talks with Lewis -  a US-based attorney about securities. What the hell are they, why is everyone so afraid of them? Lewis explains securities using good old whiskey! Is the Howey test from 1946 and the SEC section 5 from 1933 really applicable to crypto assets? Listen to this episode to find out!

In this episode, Aleksa hosted a panel to discuss the court allowing a CFTC to serve Ooki DAO via a website chatbot and community forum. CFTC claims that everyone who voted can be held liable for the actions of individuals as it recognizes Ooki DAO as an unincorporated association. What does this mean for DAO governance? Does this put all active voters at risk?

In this panel, Aleksa hosts a topic that many worry about: will MiCA regulation kill crypto in EU? Skeptics say that the industry doesn't need any regulations, but the year of 2022 proved that the lack of regulatory clarity and absence of regulations do no good for investors. Could have MiCA-like regulations prevent FTX crash? Listen to this panel talk to find out. 

In this panel discussion, Aleksa discusses the LBRY ruling. The court issued a decision in favor of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) stating that  LBRY Credits (LBC) are securities under U.S. law. The ruling may have implications that extend beyond LBC and LBRY, and could affect all other cryptocurrencies.

In this episode, Aleksa discusses MiCA - Markets in Crypto Assets regulation that was recently introduced by the EU. The aim of this new set of regulations is to provide a consistent and unified framework for crypto assets in EU. MiCA regulates stable coins, service providers, market integrity, and consumer protection.

A million dollar question  -  can DAOs have a legal standing? Can the existing regulatory framework support DAOs for what they are, or do we need to compromise to limit the liabilities of those involved? Do DAOs even need to be regulated, or we can choose not to be?

How do you regulate a decentralized organization that has no jurisdiction, doesn’t have a central management, and allows anyone to get involved? How do you tax an organization that doesn’t have a jurisdiction attached to it, and on top of it - it has its own currency? In order for an organization to operate, it needs a bank account, and a DAO cannot have one. 

Besides the legal challenges, DAOs face onchain challenges such as centralization, governance issues, whale danger, and many others. 

In this episode, Aleksa and EagleLex discuss these challenges and what can we do to solve them.

DAOs are a novel concept that we’ve been experimenting with for a while, but we are still unable to fully understand what they are and how they operate. 

DAOs are here to change the corporate world that we know today, remove its limitations and bring more freedoms to us involved.

DAOs, decentralized autonomous organizations, are blockchain-governed, community owned organizations made by the people, for the people who share the same mission and vision. You will usually hear that the DAO is a code embedded in smart contracts, but I am here to tell you that DAOs are a lot more.
