🎙 In the latest episode of DAO or Never, we’re joined by Tracheopteryx, co-founder of Coordinape. In describing the state of DAOs, he says, “We are sovereign beings, responsible for our own actions in a global network, where we can connect with nearly anyone, built on a profoundly secure foundation.” If you are compelled by this vision or curious about how reputation and compensation work in DAOs, tune in.
