DAOist

DAOist is a global conference and community focused on Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs)—bringing together builders, governance researchers, legal experts, and participants in on-chain coordination to advance the theory and practice of decentralized governance.

The DAOist events have become the premier gathering for the DAO ecosystem, hosting conferences in major cities and fostering cross-pollination between different DAO communities, tooling providers, and governance researchers. The community addresses the practical challenges of decentralized coordination: voter apathy, plutocratic governance, legal frameworks, treasury management, and the tension between efficiency and decentralization.

As Web3 governance matures, communities like DAOist play an essential role in sharing best practices and evolving governance models. The intersection of DAOs with AI agents—where autonomous systems participate in governance, analyze proposals, and execute decisions—represents one of the most consequential experiments in organizational design.
