DeXe DAO July Update

While filling up our GitHub with new code and getting the DeXe Protocol ready for launch, DeXe DAO contributors and the community have been busy bringing DAOs to the masses.

DeXe’s DAO Talk Twitter Space is becoming a Tuesday staple for anyone serious about DAO governance. In July we had the following talks:

1. With Stefen, the Head of Growth at GovernHQ, we talked about keeping track of who’s doing what work in a DAO (coordination x trust), owning your contributions, who should be making the decisions in the DAO, how to see who’s showing up in a DAO, the weight of subject-matter expertise, and more.
2. With Alisha of ENS Labs, we talked, among other things, about delegation (including whether delegates should be paid), the ENS way, and why DAOs need to succeed both in their value to the community and in the market.
3. At Alisha’s talk, a community member named Phygital asked a very insightful question that sparked a good hard conversation. So we invited him to the next show not knowing that Phygital is a host of his own very successful Twitter Space and is even more brilliant than we realized. The episode with him ended up a no-holds-barred 3-way conversation that is a must-listen-to.
4. The last conversation of the month was with Daniel Ospina, Organisation and Social System Designer at RnDAO and former Head of Governance at Aragon. His talk was extremely insightful, most of all the notion that DAO’s leadership should invest meaningful time into onboarding new members and that the entire DAO should be built on human connections, not algorithms.

We’ve already booked guests for the next couple of months, and they will be worth listening to. By the way, all of our DAO Talks are available on all the big streaming platforms such as YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify). See the full list here.

Our DAO Talk host then “switched sides” to accept a guest invite to the MC²Fi-hosted DAOs and Economic Empowerment live show.

Meanwhile, offline, DeXe core team members were busy attending ETH CC in Paris along with a number of interesting side events there. The DAOist one was especially beneficial. After our community approved a proposal to partner up with them on events, our core contributor, Dmytro Kotliarov, made sure to give a passionate speech to the audience there about DeXe’s bold vision for DAOs. This included a push for more transparency, better motivation, and a unified platform for all DAO activities. Overall, ETH CC and related events proved very valuable for DeXe in terms of connections, conversations, and insights. More on that here.

Of course, the world is already talking about DeXe, including an article about our DAO in Gagarin/news and one in Tse Crypto (UA). While the media keeps writing about DeXe, DeXe keeps writing about DAOs, like this substack article about DAOs becoming a great investment vehicle. Or this op-ed in CryptoSlate about the barriers DAOs face due to complexity and centralization. It’s important to us to be up-to-date with everything in the world of DAOs — that’s why we recap the State of DAOs weekly.

The entire DeXe community is active, contributing to our live shows, our social media, and our discussions on all social platforms. The Zealy social campaign is in full swing, helping spread the word about DeXe even faster.

A very busy month that may yet get eclipsed by the next one. So see you in August!

Stay tuned!
