## Description

Our DAO tackles one of the biggest pain points in web3—security—and does it without having ever managed a single auditor. Code4rena has 2300 registered auditors and runs competitions every week that result in thousands of hours of code review in a single one-week audit of pre-production smart contracts.

DAOs are a wonderful, beautiful, flawed concept that I have tremendous faith in long-term. I'm thrilled to share what I have learned from leading Code4rena the past 2 years—successes, failures, compromises, and the things we're still stumped on about DAOs.
