Episode 8: Decentralised Autonomous Organisations with Josh Zemel (DAOstack)

In this episode, we speak to Josh Zemel from DAOstack. DAOstack is looking to be the tech behind Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAOs) — think of a company without a management team or directors where multiple stakeholders can collaborate, take decisions, allocate capital and bring projects to fruition.

Tune in to hear about:

1. A philosophical take on Blockchain and DAOs — how it can lead to greater coherence in organisations
2. What is a DAO
3. Immensity of the governance problem and how DAOstack is addressing it
4. Holographic consensus mechanism and how the DAOstack governance mechanism works including the role of the token
5. DAOstack’s tech stack (libraries of smart contracts for governance, Dapps etc.)
6. Regulatory aspects to consider in a DAO
7. Details about their upcoming token sale
