The way to the decentralized world economy: What are DAOS?



 Cryptocurrencies should be familiar to everyone by now. In addition to  NFT and Smart Contracts, DAOs are now becoming more and more popular. DAOs, which stands for "Decentralized Autonomous Organizations", are possibly the "next big thing" in blockchain technology. In today's article, we'll enlighten you on what DAOs are, how they work, and how you can benefit from them.


What are DAOs?

A DAO is comparable to a listed company in which investors can invest. Shares in a DAO are not measured in shares, but in tokens. Each member of a DAO thus has a certain number of tokens of the DAO. According to its proponents, the DAO should generate returns. This could happen, for example, by buying and selling cryptocurrencies. The return that the DAO generates belongs to the shareholders. The same principle applies here as for a stock corporation. The more tokens (=shares) you own, the greater the share of the profit generated by the DAO. The profits of the DAO can be reinvested or distributed to shareholders. Here, too, the shareholders decide what happens to the money.

Due to the democratic voting rights of the shareholders and the absence of a CEO, DAOs are supposed to lead to a decentralized economy.


How do DAOs make money?

As a rule, the developers first earn money with a DAO. Through rounds of financing from investors, the developers collect money for the project in order to be able to finance it. Investors can later make money by selling the shares of the DAO they acquired early on if it has appreciated in value. The various projects show the possibilities offered by DAOs:

What known DAOs are there?

MakerDAO

MakerDAO is one of the most popular DAOs. MakerDao has raised more than $8 billion in funding since its inception in 2014! The project is now considered fully autonomous. This means that the members can decide for themselves where the journey of the project should go.


PleasrDAO

Another well-known DAO is PleasrDAO. PleasrDAO aims to source cultural, physical objects and sell them as NFT s. Members of the DAO can thus benefit from the increase in value of rare art objects. This DAO could be very interesting, especially for private individuals, since rare works of art are usually too expensive for private purchase. A look at the PleasrDAO site is definitely worth it! The project attracted attention only last year after acquiring artist Wu-Tang's CD.


CityDAO

The CityDAO project wants to unite the virtual and physical worlds and form a kind of metaverse. The aim is to create a virtual city whose administration is in the hands of the citizens, i.e. the shareholders. The DAO has already acquired physical land in the US state of Wyoming!


How to buy DAO tokens?

To purchase DAO tokens, you first need a wallet. The Coinbase wallet is ideal for this. Often the tokens can only be bought with Ethereum. In order to purchase DAO shares, you must first exchange your cash for "forex", i.e. Ethereum. Then use your broker app to find the relevant coin and enter the amount you want to exchange into DAO. The value of your DAO will now increase according to the general requirements of the market. Supply and demand. If your DAO community does good business, the demand and thus the value of your tokens usually increases.


Will DAOs prevail?

That cannot be said at the moment. It is almost impossible that the real world economy, with all its companies, products and services, will completely move into the virtual world. However, it is possible that small projects and ideas could be formed and developed via DAOs in the future. Especially for start-ups, this could be an interesting alternative to venture capital funds to get capital early. DAOs will probably prevail in the crypto world, and the digital, autonomous companies could also become interesting for the Metaverse. One should not oversleep this trend, but many projects should be treated with caution. As so often at the beginning of an innovation, there is a gold rush mood and exuberance. Fraud is usually not far away.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
