In this episode, Brileigh and Matthew sit down with Sean from JokeDAO. JokeDAO is bottom-up, on-chain governance for communities to submit entries and vote on favourites. In this governance deep dive, Sean tells us about the various use cases for JokeDAO’s platform and how it can be used for a community to vote on grants, bounties, curation, contests and more. Together we break down how the Jokerace works, the governance system behind it, and the emerging social and game theory dynamics that it produces. We also learn about Sean’s background in development and what they’re building at the towers three.
