DAOs, or decentralized autonomous organizations, are collectively‐owned and ‐governed organizations that use smart contracts to set and execute their rules.
Businesses run as DAOs often intend to automate as many business processes as possible. By removing the need for humans to manage the business, DAOs can function with very small margins and avoid the pressure to be profitable.
DAOs are leaderless, allowing all stakeholders to propose rules and vote on them to determine how the business is run. Stakeholders are generally considered to be all token holders.
