Most of the time, governance is invisible. You only notice it when something goes wrong.
@samccarthy27 took us inside the nine-week redesign at @gooddollarorg. A fascinating look at the craft of designing for participation.
My latest for @hackernoon.

Important work for one of the most important DAOs. Swing by for an overview of the findings and the implications for the state of governance in web3

@metagov_project completed a #governance assessment of @ENS_DAO and found results applicable across the #DAO landscape. Join us for a conversation on the results and read the report here (drive.google.com/file/d/1lN-…)

We know DAOs are experiencing a lot of problems - this is your opportunity to share some of them!
gov/acc is aggregating current problems in the space to help accelerate experimentation and iteration
and we want to hear from you!
Jan 28
📢Call to action‼️
As we get the gov/acc research program off the ground, we're hoping to get as much input on the problems that DAOs (or any web3 communities/orgs) are facing.
If you have time, we would greatly appreciate it! Feel free to reach out with any questions or issues.

We're happy to support gov/acc and working towards better outcomes for governance across web3 🗺️
22 Dec 2025
Inspired by @VitalikButerin's d/acc work & the general trend of 'gov is dead so why bother' this year, I want to introduce gov/acc
gov/acc is an open research program focused on outlining the problems we're facing in web3, as a starting point for accelerating gov R&D

Barriers to better evidence use:
⚙️ Technical: fragmented data standards, poor tooling
⚖️ Participation: voter apathy, plutocracy, collusion risk
🌐 Cultural: “move fast & experiment” often trumps accountability
Projects like @DAOstar_One & KOI Pond are trying to fix this.
