Progressive decentralization is not easy especially for web3 projects who’re used to exponential output with lean teams.. however if it has to adhere to the ethos of web3 with its niche use cases, it requires decentralization for optimal community support & should also satisfy the objectives that every traditional startup/business would have to deal with

Anze Noc, Community & Growth Lead from DIA DAO, a DAO focused on building out a multi-chain, end-to-end, open-source data and oracle platform for Web3 joins the duo to talk about the origins of the DIA DAO operations & how it has progressively decentralized to having a community with over 700 contributors. We learn about the DAO structure facilitate by a tool stack of Discord, DeWork, Snapshot & smart DIA incentivization schemes. We also learn about how they want to promote optimized democracy, a state where contributors have higher proportion of voting rights according to their contribution. How they balance out the interests of the core team with that of their community towards the ultimate objective of DIA succeeding as the core oracle platform for web3

A banger for teams looking to decentralize their web3 projects with a lot of actionable insights, do check it out !
