Vitalik Buterin: „A quick summary of features that a celebrity crypto project needs to have for me to be more willing to respect it:
1. Have some kind of public-good goal that it's serving, other than enriching the celebrity and early adopters. Realistically, either an art project or the celebrity's favorite charity, or both.
2. Have some kind of fun mechanics that go beyond just trading a token. As much as I dislike token voting DAOs, at least they give *something* for people to do and organize around. The DAO should not fully decide the agenda, but it can have some influence.
3. Make something that lasts 10+ years, rather than bubbling around for a few months and then being forgotten.
The north star should be: to have a project where even if eventually all tokens involved go to zero, the average person who participated is happy to have done so. Regular businesses and charities accomplish this goal all the time! It's a low bar, but things we build should meet this bar as well“.

Swell has unveiled the Swell DAO details
SWELL is the token used to govern the Swell protocol and secure Swell L2. SWELL will be the governance token for the entire Swell protocol, enabling decision-making to be distributed across the community.
Swell DAO will be at the center of this transformation. Voting power in the DAO will be proportional to the amount of SWELL held, with more tokens giving a greater ability to influence decisions by submitting and voting on governance proposals.
