Experimenting With DAOs and NFTs with Diana Chen

The main focus of this talk will be on experimenting in DAOs -- specifically DAOs that use NFTs to govern and/or gate their community. I will pull examples from podcasts like Rehash and Mint, which have both released podcast NFTs for purchase, as well as up and coming DAO communities that have experimented with some novel ideas over the last year, such as Rehash and Newt (Aave). I will highlight both the successes and failures of these experiments and share my analysis of why certain experiments succeeded while others failed. I'll conclude the talk with an actionable game plan DAO contributors can follow if they're interested in experimenting in their NFT-driven DAO. I believe this is an important topic to include at ETH Denver 2023 because there is no better time than a bear market to experiment. Everything is low(er) stakes, which makes it less scary and disastrous to experiment and fail. This is the best time for us to try new things and learn from our wins and losses so that when the next bull market comes around, the DAOs and communities that make it until then will have such a stronger foundation than a newer community that got its start in the bull market. https://twitter.com/ddwchen Diana Chen Founder Rehash Founder, core contributor, and podcast host at Rehash.
