DAOs or Decentralized Autonomous Organizations have gained traction over the recent years, with the concept being explored as early as Ethereum itself. From a grant giving DAO like Moloch that funds projects making an impact to Ethereum ecosystem, more complex governance mechanisms have been explored by other projects as communities explore ways to decentralize their governance stack. Specific governance roles have also been created such as delegates and subDAOs, opening opportunities for individuals or institutions to play their part in governance for a decentralized future. This month we are having Alexander Popescu, head of marketing at Stablenode.xyz, to share with us their governance advisory work and perspective on the future of DAOs, Governance and the Decentralized Future.

The Ethereum Mainnet merged with the Beacon Chain proof-of-stake network on September 15, 2022. This marks the end of proof-of-work for Ethereum and a full transition to proof-of-stake. This historic upgrade is projected to reduce the Ethereum network's energy consumption by over 99% and sets the stage for future upgrades to further scale the Ethereum network. Holders of this POAP were there to witness the Ethereum Mainnet Merge with the rest of the community and signaled their support to the core developers of this enormous undertaking by sending roughly $10 of ETH to the Protocol DAO, directly funding protocol contributors. Special thanks to all of the client teams, researchers and core developers of the Ethereum Protocol, and to community leaders The Daily Gwei, Bankless, Ethereum Cat Herders, The Ethereum Foundation and EthStaker for their support in preparing the world for this moment. -https://thedailygwei.substack.com/ -https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/ -https://www.ethereumcatherders.com/ -https://ethereum.org/en/ -https://ethstaker.cc/

In response to Russia’s invasion, the Ukraine region saw unprecedented levels of economic sanctions, choking up the financial institutions. As a result, the question of how the public could provide financial aid to those in desperate need was left open. #NFT community builder, @andrwwang woke up to the atrocities unfolding in Ukraine. Terrified and shocked, soon turning into conviction and resolve, Wang was determined to take action in the best way he knew how — by bringing people together. Ultimately, Wang joined together with other NFT leaders and 37 NFT artists to create RELI3F — a Web3 initiative providing global humanitarian aid and ended up raising over $1 million for Ukraine in 30 seconds, via NFT sales.
