How to DAO 401: DAO Community Leadership. Rafa does it again with this essay on DAO Community Leadership. The bottom line: "those with most influence in web3 are often those that have helped others become leaders." DAO leaders are those that can communicate the mission, guide contributors, and highlight exemplary work. This is a must-read for anyone working in a DAO. SPECIAL GEM 💎

Reputation Systems in Web3 - Part 2. Scott Kominers and Jad Esber follow-up their first essay on web3 reputation systems with this piece on decentralized identity. Rather than short-term "likes," they argue, web3 reputation systems are focused on the long-game as we build reputation over time across platforms and environments. They discuss the infrastructure necessary to bring this future to reality, and the possibilities that open up as we achieve it. PROMISING VIBES ✨

DAOs are the Opportunity of a Lifetime. The Bankless squad is obviously bullish on DAOs, and this piece highlights some reasons why. For the first time in history, humans are able to coordinate around specific, chosen goals at scale without having to worry about their background or status. DAOs are the opportunity of a lifetime.

Providing Token Context and a Pulse to Communities. In this essay, Andrew Hong calls for "token context," a means of keeping pulse of communities and having a true understanding of what is happening within a DAO. Coincidentally, Forefront launched the DAO Terminal this week to do just that! CONTEXTUAL DIGEST 📈

ConstitutionDAO Did not Win the Auction. ConstitutionDAO, a DAO with the goal of purchasing a 1 of 11 copy of the U.S. Constitution, raised around $47,000,000 in just one week. While the group lost the bid (Citadel CEO Ken Griffin outbid them), they were successful in onboarding thousands of folks into web3 who created their first wallet and used ETH for the first time. Surely there will be many more experiments to come! THE NEW ONRAMP 🔮
