The concept of DAOs has been captivating to many in the crypto space for years. When “The DAO” was created in 2016, in the few weeks of its existence and despite obvious flaws, it gather tremendous momentum and amassed 14% of the entire ether supply. Since then the technology has matured and Martin and Matan argue that the time for DAOs has finally arrived. We were joined by DAOstack Founder Matan Field and Gnosis Founder Martin Köppelmann. We talked about the decentralized exchange protocol DutchX. We also talked about how the two projects together created the dxDAO, which will manage the DutchX protocol, but could go onto its own path. A path that could even lead to being the DAO for all of DeFi. Topics covered in this episode:  The unifying vision behind the various Gnosis projects Why Gnosis decided to build decentralized exchange protocol DutchX DutchX’s usage of batch auctions to provide good prices and liquidity for any market Incentivizing market makers with the Magnolia token Why the DutchX needs a DAO The role of Reputation in the dxDAO How Reputation will be distributed Why DAOs unlike companies could become more efficient as they grow How the dxDAO could become the biggest organization on earth in the next 10 years How one can get involved in the dxDAO  Episode links:  dxDAO Website Joint AMA: Martin Köppelmann &amp; Matan Field - dxDAO DAOtalk.org Introducing the dxDAO A brief discussion of the protocol governing the dxDAO The DutchX as an Open Protocol  Thank you to our sponsors for their support:  Simplify your hiring process &amp; access the best blockchain talent .

Martin Köppelmann & Matan Field: How the dxDAO could become the world’s largest organization

As a society, we have organized as tribes, hierarchies, and markets to accomplish the most impressive of achievements. Human cooperation and collective organization are present at nearly every significant milestone in the history of human civilization. As we move towards an increasingly connected and automated society and economy, there will become a need for decentralized infrastructure which enables companies and markets to make fast decisions at scale. We’re joined by Matan Field, CEO of DAOstack, a new platform that aims to become the operating system for collective intelligence. DAOstack is building a toolset to allow decentralized governance and building self-organizing collectives at scale. Topics covered in this episode:  Matan’s background and journey since founding Backfeed What is a DAO and the necessary components to create a functional DAO The role of DAOs in today’s society and over the long-term DAOstack as “WordPress for DAOs” The different layers of DAOstack and their respective roles Holographic Consensus and the governance model of the DAOstack Genesis DAO The purpose of the GEN token and the idea of circular token economies DAOstacks recent crowdsale and upcoming project roadmap  Episode links:  DAOstack Website DAOstack Introduction Video DAOstack on Medium An Explanation of DAOstack in Fairly Simple Terms Decentralized Governance Matters DAOstack White Paper Epicenter Episode 115 with Matan Field on Backfeed  This episode is hosted by Brian Fabian Crain and Sébastien Couture.

Matan Field: DAOstack – An Operating System for Collective Intelligence

The idea that in the future tokens will play a crucial role in networks and organizations to incentivize decentralized collaboration and reward contribution is not new. It’s the original decentralized autonomous organization idea that has informed many projects that have been on the podcast (Swarm, Ethereum, Factom, Storj, etc). For Matan, the vision originally led to found decentralized ride-sharing application LaZooz. One year ago, he left LaZooz to found Backfeed, which is building the tools that so far have been missing to make mass collaboration without a central party possible. Topics covered in this episode:  How he became interested in blockchains and started the ridesharing application LaZooz Backfeed’s vision for a social operating system for decentralized organizations The role of reputation, proof-of-value and tokens in Backfeed The applications Backfeed is currently building The business of model of Backfeed  Episode links:  Backfeed website Backfeed: An Introduction for Mere Mortals Matan Field DevCon Talk about Backfeed  This episode is hosted by Brian Fabian Crain and Sébastien Couture.
