The total value of assets held across all DAOs has reached a new high of $24.5 billion 💰
Fresh data for 2025:
⚡the average treasury size per DAO is ~$1.2M
⚡top DAOs like Uniswap, Aave, Maker, Arbitrum, and Optimism each manage $500M+, holding the majority of the market
⚡the sector has grown +30% over the past year
For comparison:
🔹in 2023, DAOs held only $10–12B
🔹in 2021, around $6B
That’s nearly a 4x increase in just a few years!
DAOs are accumulating capital faster than any other Web3 organizational model — and today’s numbers look more like a starting point than a peak 📈

DAO mess up too sometimes 😬
A recent breakdown from DAO Times highlights an uncomfortable truth: many DAOs lose funds not because of hacks, but because of plain human sloppiness. Opaque grants, weak treasury oversight, and the absence of clear rules all turn into budget leaks, lost trust, and governance chaos 💥
Typical scenarios:
— grants handed out “to friends,” with no clear criteria
— zero reporting, or no one actually reviewing it
— treasury scattered across random wallets with questionable access
— votes happen formally, but no one executes the decisions
In the end, the DAO technically exists, but money disappears into the void, and contributors burn out and quietly walk away 🙅♂
A solid legal foundation, clear rules, written agreements and transparency aren’t bureaucracy — they’re the only way to protect the treasury and maintain community trust. Especially when a DAO grows and the stakes go from $100 to millions $$$

Anime in the hands of the community: what Japan DAO is doing 🎌
Japan has launched an interesting platform where artists, writers, and fans come together to create new anime projects collectively 🤨
The mechanics are simple:
someone brings an idea for a character or universe → the community votes → the DAO allocates a budget and assembles a team → the IP is distributed among those who actually contributed
Professional artists and writers are already involved, and fans influence the process not just through voting but by choosing the direction: which characters should go into production, which universe to develop, what merch to release, and how the project should evolve. All of this is tied to holding tokens of specific projects 💃
IP (Intellectual Property) means the rights to characters, worlds, merchandise, and licensing. Usually, studios keep full control of these rights, and creators receive only a tiny share of the profits
In Japan DAO, the IP belongs to the creators and the community that supported the launch, so a significant share of the profits goes not to the studio but to the people who actually contributed 🤩

DAO gets its first license in a real jurisdiction 📁
The Bermuda Monetary Authority has issued an official license to DerivaDEX — a derivatives platform fully governed by a DAO. This is the first license of its kind in the world
What this means in simple terms:
⚪a government regulator has recognized a structure where decisions are made not by a CEO or a company, but by a community of tokenholders
⚪DAOs have been given a green light to operate legally in an offshore jurisdiction
⚪projects like this can now bring in institutional players, work with big companies, and not worry that “the regulator will shut everything down”
And one important clarification to avoid confusion: we’ve had DAO LLCs in Wyoming and the Marshall Islands, but in those cases the licenses were issued to legal entities created around a DAO. Here, the licensed entity is the platform directly governed by the DAO, without turning it into a traditional company. This is a fundamentally different level of recognition 👍
In essence, this is the first case where a DAO-governed model has been tested against real-world legal standards — and officially approved. Not an experiment, but a fully recognized business format 😎

MetaDAO said “no” to venture funds 🚫
MetaDAO is a project on Solana that builds a network of prediction markets where users bet on outcomes and earn rewards if they’re right. The entire governance process happens through a DAO
Recently, two venture funds approached the project with an offer to invest $6 million in $META tokens — but with a 30–40% discount and a stake large enough to influence decisions within the DAO 🤷🏻♂️
At first glance, a standard VC deal. But within the community, a discussion started: why sell tokens below market value and give up part of the control to outside players if the project is growing steadily without it?
Most agreed that such terms created more imbalance than benefit 👎
In the end, the DAO voted to reject the offer. A few days later, $META rose about 16%, and the case quickly spread across crypto Twitter as an example of how a decentralized community can preserve a project’s independence — even when millions are on the table 😎

How to make your DAO an official organization? 📕
A legal wrapper is a framework that turns a DAO into a legally recognized entity — without losing decentralization, but with the ability to operate in the real world 🌐
What it gives your DAO:
✅ protection of members from personal and tax liability
✅ ownership of assets, tokens, and intellectual property (brand, code, content)
✅ the ability to sign contracts and work with companies
✅ access to fiat payment rails and banking infrastructure
✅ trust from investors and partners
https://daobox.io/ is a full-stack legal and operational infrastructure for DAOs:
▪️ tailored legal structures based on each DAO’s governance model
▪️ ongoing management and compliance
▪️ independent directors and multi-sig signers
▪️ internal constitutions and legally enforceable rules
Now, with DAObox, DAOs created through XDAO can operate legally, securely, and just like any traditional company
If you want to make your DAO official, ➡️ https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1aQvsMhi4X0XyBIe94ST4uHcUlGNuGe0vW8EfwqE5fQ8/viewform?edit_requested=true

Liberland: a country as a DAO 🤨
Not only cities can be governed through DAOs. Between Croatia and Serbia lies a tiny piece of land — just 7 square kilometers. In 2015, Czech libertarian Vít Jedlička declared it an independent state called Liberland 🧠
At first, it seemed like a joke. But over time, the project gained structure, citizens (now over 700,000 online) and even its own crypto-economy. Today, Liberland is being built as a decentralized republic, where governance and the economy are powered by blockchain
Every citizen can take part in voting, while the treasury and taxes are transparent and recorded in smart contracts. The goal is to move state processes into a DAO format, creating a “digital micro-nation” without bureaucracy 🖥
Liberland already has its own constitution, emblem, and “diplomats” around the world. Let’s see how this experiment unfolds 🕵♂

NFT beer? Why not 🍺
In August 2022, BarrelDAO, a decentralized brewery (yes, really), released a collection of 333 NFTs, each serving as a “ticket” for a limited-edition Solana Summer Shandy beer case. Price — 1.35 SOL (around $45). Everything sold out instantly!
Each NFT granted the holder the right to redeem a 16-pack of beer with lemonade, featuring designs by artist Mark Lottier. The cans showcased iconic characters from Solana’s NFT scene — Degenerate Ape Academy, Okay Bears, Thugbirdz, DeGods, Solana Monkey Business, Catalina Whale Mixer, Cets on Creck, and even artwork by John Lê
Here’s the twist: BarrelDAO actually owned some of these NFTs and licensed the rest from collectors to use in the artwork. On the secondary market, these “tickets” quickly shot up in price — trading on Magic Eden for 2.69 SOL (around $90 at the time)
No, it wasn’t a Solana Labs initiative — just a pure DAO experiment that proved how community projects can merge memes, NFTs, and real-world products

Post on X by TON’s Global Community Lead:
“Over $150M worth of Telegram Gifts are already circulating — and the number keeps growing every day. For comparison: the CS2 skin market is valued at $5.5B, but Telegram has over 1 billion users”
Right now, two ideas are being discussed in the community. The first — DAOs that own collections of rare Telegram gifts like Plush Pepe and manage them as digital assets. The second — investing in “gift indexes”, where a DAO can buy a share of a basket of valuable, tradable gifts without owning each one directly (basically an on-chain ETF) 🎁
What do you think — should we experiment with something like this in XDAO? Would it genuinely bring value to our users, or are gifts just another short-lived trend?

The Legal Module in XDAO is now live! ⚖️
No lawyers needed anymore. Record agreements, make deals, and sign contracts — all for free
XDAO’s global mission is to give every person on the planet the ability to create legally binding agreements without lawyers, in a simple and accessible form. We believe our technology makes the world a better place 🌎
All on-chain DAOs can now operate officially: create charters, sign legally binding agreements, and record commitments between members — all directly inside your organization’s chat! 💬
The update introduces three key features:
🤝 Private Deals — private agreements between DAO members, visible only to the participants who signed them. The deal is executed only after all parties sign, while non-participants see only the fact of its existence, not its content
📄 Agreements — record any internal arrangements within the DAO by consensus (for example: shares, contributions, partnership terms, or token distribution)
🏛 Charter — generate and sign your DAO’s charter, giving all agreements full legal force
Main commands to use the new features:
/create_charter — creates your DAO charter (must be sent by the chat owner of your organization)/dao — launches the creation of an Agreement (if used in your DAO chat) or a Private Deal (if sent in a private chat with the XDAO bot)/setup_chat_link — links your chat to your DAO
💡 Full instructions and feature descriptions are already available in the app. Check the “Legal” section

A Japanese village saved itself through DAO and NFTs 🏯
In the mountains of Niigata Prefecture lies a tiny village called Yamakoshi — one of many rural Japanese towns on the brink of extinction due to youth migration and an aging population. But the locals found an unexpected solution: they created Yamakoshi DAO, also known as Neo-Yamakoshi Village
In 2021, they launched the Nishikigoi NFT collection, named after the famous ornamental koi carp originally bred in this region. Each NFT wasn’t just a picture — it acted as a digital resident ID, granting voting rights in the DAO, access to village life, and the status of a “digital citizen” 🛂
Over the years, the project raised $423,000 and attracted 1,700 digital residents. The funds go toward supporting the elderly, organizing school sports events, and funding local initiatives. Many digital citizens even travel to Yamakoshi for festivals and community gatherings — blurring the line between online and offline life 🌐
So far, Yamakoshi DAO has held six votes with 40% member participation, aiming to reach 10,000 participants and boost engagement to 80% ⬆
The project has even gained support from Japan’s government: the Liberal Democratic Party allocated around $60,000 to test Web3 solutions, while Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has publicly stated that Web3 will be part of Japan’s national digital transformation strategy 🔄

DarkFi DAO — untraceable? 🕵♂
Amir Taaki, one of the most renowned Bitcoin developers and a key figure of the cypherpunk movement, has introduced the world’s first fully anonymous DAO. He built it together with the DarkFi team (a group developing privacy-focused tools for online communities) 🤫
The idea is simple but radical: every DAO action should look like random data that can’t be linked to any organization. In such a system, everything is hidden — payments and their amounts, token holders, proposal initiators, vote counts, even treasury data. On-chain it looks like chaos, but within the DAO, the usual governance logic continues to function 🗳
According to Taaki, this isn’t just a technical feature but a return to the roots. He believes modern DAOs have lost their original meaning: governance concentrates in the hands of big holders, while processes become overly public and vulnerable to pressure. An anonymous DAO, he argues, breaks this pattern, allowing communities to operate freely and without external control, especially under repressive regimes 🤫
The crypto community’s reaction was mixed. Some saw it as a continuation of classic cypherpunk philosophy and a step toward a new level of DAO evolution. Others were skeptical, saying full anonymity makes the project impractical and risky. Yet everyone agreed on one thing: if the idea survives and evolves, it could redefine what decentralized organizations truly mean 🤝

Scroll DAO: “ideal” decentralization meets reality ⚖
Scroll DAO was originally built on the textbook model: power in the hands of tokenholders and their delegates, debates on forums, proposals put to a vote, and the treasury distributed whenever ideas came in. On paper, it looked like a perfect example of decentralization
In practice, it didn’t work that way. Hardly anyone showed up to vote, delegates often failed to act or pulled decisions in their own favor, and processes dragged on for months, slowing down the network itself. What was meant to be a showcase of “pure DAO” ended up as a bottleneck ⚙
In September the team announced a restructuring. An Execution Council will now handle operational decisions, with a Scroll Foundation above it holding veto power on key issues. Treasury distribution will shift to fixed cycles — every 6 to 12 months — to enforce discipline. And by January 2026, a new DAO “constitution” will be put to a vote 📖
Some in the community see this as a step back and a move toward centralization. But the team’s reasoning is simple: the old model wasn’t working. The real lesson here is that there’s no universal formula for DAO governance. It’s not about following the “ideal textbook,” but about finding a structure that actually works for the project and its community 👨💻

Netflix on smart contracts or an attempt to resurrect a dead brand 🎬
In December 2021, a plan went viral on crypto Twitter: “Let’s buy Blockbuster and turn it into the first decentralized streaming service”
Blockbuster was once a giant of video rentals with thousands of stores worldwide. But the digital era and Netflix killed the brand, leaving the rights in the hands of Dish Network 😦
The community set out to raise $5M through the $BLKBSTER token to acquire the trademark. The goal wasn’t just to revive a brand, but to build a “decentralized Netflix” — a DAO that decides which films to fund, how to split revenue, and what content gets on the platform 🤑
Writer Ben Mezrich (author of The Social Network, the book behind the Facebook movie) joined the hype, calling BlockbusterDAO “the perfect Web3 story”. That sent interest soaring: within weeks, more than 40,000 people had joined the Discord 🌐
Dish Network, however, refused to even discuss selling the brand. BlockbusterDAO never materialized, but it went down in history as another example of DAOs rallying people around wild ideas — from buying the U. S. Constitution to reviving Blockbuster! 🏵

Friends With Benefits: a DAO as an exclusive cultural club ✨
Not what you might think. FWB is called “the most stylish DAO in crypto”. It’s not about investments or staking. It’s about art, music, and parties. Their mission is to build cultural and technical infrastructure for digital communities through creative experimentation, collective coordination, and new ways of belonging in the digital space 🎨
Getting in isn’t as simple as buying a token. You have to pass a selection process and prove you’re ready to contribute — with creativity, expertise, or ideas. At its peak, full access required holding 75 $FWB (worth around $10,000 at the time). That created an exclusivity level comparable to private clubs like Soho House — but on the blockchain 🎭
Why do people join?
— Offline events: parties at Art Basel, summits in New York and LA
— An online hub to discuss trends in culture, media, and Web3
— Opportunities to launch projects together: from magazines to brand collabs
— Access to the DAO’s “cultural capital”: connections with artists, musicians, investors
Unlike most DAOs where tokens = treasury power, in FWB tokens = social capital first and foremost 🎭

ASTER and others prove the market no longer wants to trust centralized structures with their money
At first, people didn’t believe in DEXs: why bother if you’ve got familiar exchanges? Today the market finally realized that decentralization is the future of trading 📊
But trading is only the beginning. The next step will be shared ownership and governance of assets. In the same way, everyone will come to see the value of DAOs — doing with capital what DEXs did with trading 🚀

AI in DAO governance: MakerDAO’s bold experiment 🤖
The original idea behind DAOs was that they would be as automated as possible
Recently, one of the largest and most recognized DAOs in crypto launched an ambitious experiment: building an organization that could eventually be governed by AI ✈
A group of contributors is rewriting the MakerDAO “constitution” to give AI enough context to make reliable inferences and evaluate proposals. Not “understand” in the human sense — but operate with enough information to flag issues and suggest actions
The goal is to create GAIT (Governance AI Tool) that can:
— detect malicious proposals 🔍
— track when someone acts against the DAO’s interests ❌
Yes, it may sound dystopian. But humans in governance also make mistakes — or worse, act in bad faith. AI won’t be given control right away; it will be tested repeatedly until it proves reliable ☝️
The project is still in its early days, with no deadlines. But it’s a fascinating step toward the automation that DAOs were originally meant to embody
