Introducing DAOStack — a framework for DAOs (which is a DAO)
Decentralized Governance Matters:
In consensus systems, increasing the threshold for consensus increases resilience but lowers scalability, and vice versa. More decentralization of the process enables more intelligence agents to contribute, potentially increasing capacity and resilience at the same time. However, effective decentralization depends critically on the degree of coherence in the system, and otherwise may reduce them both.
To be specific:Any resolution of this tension will allow minority decisions (improving on scale) that are guaranteed to be in strong correlation with the majority “truth” (protecting resilience).
This would be our definition of coherence and is a necessary condition for scalable governance.
A few basic principles are available to enable coherence and scalable governance. I introduce them below in broad strokes and will give a detailed example in my next post in this series. We will see that each of these principles is analogous to a known principle in blockchain research.
