NextMeta NextMeta #4 - Making DAOs Effective w/ 0xJustice
In this episode of NextMeta, we interviewed 0xJustice from the Polygon governance team about DAO design, rganizational efficiency, and a new tokenization mechanism.
0xJustice shares his journey from IT, team management and org design, to getting hyped about DAOs. As opposed to most DAOists, he is less interested in governance and decentralization - what drew him to DAOs is the idea that they are programmable organizations, which can be made more effective than current day corps.
The conversation covers a wide range of topics, from team topologies to the exciting new Quadratic Accelerator (q/acc) project.
Topics discussed:
0xJustice's background in IT and transition to Web3
Efficient DAO design principles
Team topologies and organizational structure
The Quadratic Accelerator (q/acc) project
Bonding curves and project tokenization
Modern Monetary Theory and its relevance to crypto
Polygon governance and upcoming initiatives
He emphasizes the importance of streamlining teams and eliminating handoffs to increase efficiency and ownership. He also discusses the concept of team topologies and the need for programmable org design in DAOs. He concludes by mentioning the governance hub on Polygon and the use of governance legos to create flexible and adaptable governance structures.
"It's the programmability that is interesting to me."
In this conversation, peth and 0xJustice discuss Boundaryless, a consultancy media brand that produces research and certification programs on platformification and team topologies - building DAOs since before DAOs.
"If you're not the platform, you're unconsciously operating on someone else's platform."
They also delve into the Quadratic Accelerator (QAC), a project incubated in Giveth that aims to tokenize projects and create a better way to do grants. They explore the concept of token economics, inflation, and the challenges of driving value to tokens.
"The point of DAOs is not governance, that's kind of a side effect... The game is like, what's the mechanism? What's the value accrual mechanism?"
