Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO)

Learning Materials

An incredibly informative four to five -week learning circle on the future of cooperation is undertaken by @Holger / Phylo [IF]#2233 (discord), Community Manager @ IOTA Foundation with support from @Antonio Nardella [IF] – #49. “Just DAO it!” Holger / Philo says, indicating “We took inspiration from Stephen Reid (@daoist321) How to DAO course, but harmonized content and adjusted it to the needs of our IOTA community.” The discord group IOTA DAO Pioneers is formed, and very engaging dialogue ensued over the amazing opportunities afforded through DAO organizations.

Following are several learning session materials, helpful references, and highlights of the dialogue occurring in this incredible learning opportunity.
