How To DAO Testimonials

Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon
"With the advent of blockchain protocols which are nothing but community governed businesses, efficient, fair and decentralized decision-making becomes the most important piece of Web3 as a whole. How to organize, how to reach consensus, and consequently how to create positive sum and forward looking DAO suddenly need an answer - today, not tomorrow. For readers looking to grapple with those questions, this book will be an excellent resource."
Paul Brody, Global Blockchain Leader at EY
"A new way or organizing the world's businesses, charities, and institutions is emerging out of the Web3 ecosystem: the Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO). DAOs are new and have great promise, but they are still immature and still rather complicated to understand, join, and utilize. How to Dao, by Kevin Owocki and Puncar, takes the pain out of understanding and navigating this new organizational model and ecosystem with both explanations and a series of "quests" that will leave you ready to engage and interact with these news entities or start your own. If you want to get ahead of the curve, this book is for you."
Sreeram Kannan, Co-founder of Eigen Layer
"DAOs creates mechanisms for communities of individuals to coordinate for collective action and create joint binding commitments that are enforced transparently onchain. DAOs can help solve some fundamental information and power asymmetries in many societal constructs including governments, non profits, companies and funds. Kevin Owocki is one of my favorite thinkers in the ecosystem and brings a powerful vision on how the crypto technology can help solve important societal coordination problems. I am thrilled to see him create this valuable resource on DAOs for all of us!"
Yaniv Tal, co-founder of Graph
