Episode notes
Yearn's Unique Launch
- Andre Cronje created Yearn Finance and gave away 100% of the governance tokens over 10 days.
- This granted the community full control, a radical move in the startup world.
Yearn's Continued Success
- Yearn Finance continues to operate successfully, demonstrating the viability of decentralized governance.
- The protocol maintains high TVL and still uses the original governance system.
Governance Design Considerations
- Single-channel governance systems, like on-chain voting with proposals, can be effective for DAOs with limited scope.
- For broader scopes, constrained delegation allows token holders to grant power to specific teams while retaining ultimate control.
