In the beginning, blockchain was associated with cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, but the technology has spread beyond the economic sector and enabled a new type of distributed system. In particular, it has allowed the emergence of new governance and coordination methods, such as the Decentralized Autonomous Organizations, which implement decision-making systems to enable a community to vote for proposals.
Our researchers Youssef Faqir-Rhazoui, Javier Arroyo, and Samer Hassan, in the article A comparative analysis of the platforms for decentralized autonomous organizations in the Ethereum blockchain have analyzed the three current leading platforms (Aragon, DAOstack, and DAOhaus), which facilitate the creation and management of DAOs, with community interactions mediated by blockchain.
