AI in DAOs — hype or the future? 🤖⚙️

In crypto, people are increasingly talking about the merger of two powerful forces — artificial intelligence and decentralization. It used to sound like sci-fi, but today AI is actively being integrated into DAO governance. Not for buzzwords, but to:

— Automate voting
— Optimize investments
— Propose ideas and manage treasuries in real time

Here are some real-world examples:

🔹 Virtuals Protocol

Each member creates their own AI agent (a Virtual) that acts on their behalf — votes, suggests proposals, manages the DAO treasury. The goal is to scale participation and give every user a “personal delegate” that doesn’t sleep and adapts in real time to what’s happening in the DAO and the market

🔹 Gaia DAO

Uses AI models to analyze trends and allocate capital across DeFi strategies. The AI tracks returns, risk levels, and reallocates funds — like an algorithmic hedge fund in DAO form

🔹 Autonolas

Builds infrastructure for multi-agent DAOs where different AI agents interact with each other. One might handle treasury management, another ensures security, and a third handles proposal logic. Everything is decentralized and autonomous

🔹 Sentient

A platform for launching decentralized AI agents — intelligent digital beings that can learn, perform tasks, interact with DAOs, and even own a share of the network. The idea is to build a full-on AI economy where bots aren’t just assistants, but full DAO members with tokens, roles, and goals

AI helps DAOs become less reliant on manual input, more agile in volatile markets, and easier to scale across thousands of users 🕺

But more autonomy means more questions: who’s responsible when the AI makes a mistake? Is the code transparent? Can the data be tampered with or the algorithm manipulated?

AI in DAOs isn’t just hype — it’s a real step toward more adaptive and “living” organizations. The question is: where will that step take us? 🔮

What’s up with TON? 🪙

Today, TON ranks in the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap. With this growth rate and an ecosystem built on Telegram’s massive user base, its potential is hard to ignore

Right now, a new trend is emerging — gifts and stickers in Telegram. Crypto Twitter is already buzzing, and the TON team has started pulling in global media giants — like Snoop Dogg — who’s been casually promoting this gifting feature. It’s a win for both the blockchain and the messenger, as more people get onboarded into the ecosystem

Poll below — and feel free to share your thoughts in the comments 👇

This is how easy it’ll be to create a DAO in Telegram 🌐🌐

In the new XDAO mini-app, all it takes is 4 simple steps:

1️⃣ Enter the DAO name, full token name, and ticker
2️⃣ Add your partners (using their wallet addresses)
3️⃣ Choose how to distribute shares — equally or proportionally
4️⃣ Set the consensus threshold — for example, 51% for decision-making

And that’s it — your DAO is live. Directly in Telegram on TON, in just a few minutes. No coding, no complicated interface, no hassle. You can also add a description, email, and social links for your DAO right after setup ✅

A DAO that raised $55M to save a man 🕊

Meet AssangeDAO — one of the most powerful examples of how decentralisation can become a political tool

In 2022, the crypto community raised $53M in just 3 days (ultimately $55M) to support Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, who was facing 175 years in prison in the US for publishing classified documents. This wasn’t a charity or a non-profit — it was a decentralised autonomous organisation, created by anonymous people on the internet to take action 🏃‍♀

How did it work?

AssangeDAO didn’t just collect donations. They partnered with digital artist Pak and launched an NFT series called Censored. The main piece was a 1/1 NFT called Clock, counting the days since Assange’s imprisonment 🖼⏳

The DAO won the auction and purchased Clock for 16,593 ETH (~$55M). All contributors received the $JUSTICE token — not for profit, but as a sign of participation and a vote in the DAO

Where did the money go?

All funds were sent to the Wau Holland Foundation, which supports Assange’s legal defence and public awareness campaigns 🛡

So what happened?

The DAO helped:

— bring global attention back to Assange’s case
— attract mainstream media and the Web3 audience
— show the power of an anonymous internet community coming together around a shared cause

Just a group of people on the internet who raised $55M in three days to help free someone from prison — and in the end, they actually did. AssangeDAO accomplished its mission 🆓

XDAO for the fam:
PROPOSAL 🗳

If you want to change something in a DAO — you first need to submit a proposal

For example: allocate funds for marketing, add a new member to the organization, or update voting rules. Any meaningful decision in a DAO starts with a proposal ✍

How it works:

A participant creates an idea and submits it as a proposal. All DAO members can view it and vote. If it reaches the required number of votes and meets the quorum threshold — the decision is automatically approved ✔

Note: depending on how the DAO is configured, proposals can be created by any member — or only by those with specific rights (like holding tokens or reputation)

In a DAO, no one can just decide things unilaterally. Not even the project creators. Everything starts with a proposal — and is resolved through community voting 📇

What really happened with The DAO in 2016? 🍒

The DAO was the first-ever venture fund built on smart contracts.
Users deposited ETH and received DAO tokens to vote on where the money should go. In total, it raised $150M from 11,000 people — 15% of all ETH at the time 🔷

Where was the vulnerability?

There was a bug in the splitDAO function — it allowed a user to “split off” and create a new sub-DAO with a portion of the funds. But it didn’t include protection from a reentrancy attack — a type of exploit where a function is called repeatedly before the balance is updated 😳

How the attack worked:

• The attacker triggered splitDAO to create a sub-DAO
• Then called it recursively — dozens of times — before the balance updated
• The contract didn’t check if funds had already been withdrawn, so they just kept coming

Basically, it was like a broken ATM giving out cash over and over until it realized it was empty 🎰

How was it fixed?

The Ethereum community had two options:

A) Leave it be and let the hacker walk away with $60M 😱
B) Roll back the blockchain to before the hack 🔙

They chose option B. This led to a hard fork and two separate chains:
• Ethereum (ETH) — with the rollback and refunds
• Ethereum Classic (ETC) — the original chain, where the code stayed unchanged

What changed after this?

1️⃣ Reentrancy became a well-known attack vector
→ Now one of the first things auditors check

2️⃣ Audit firms like OpenZeppelin and Trail of Bits became industry standards
→ No serious project launches smart contracts without an audit

3️⃣ DAO frameworks like XDAO, Aragon, and DAOstack emerged
→ Nobody writes DAO code from scratch anymore

4️⃣ UX and governance security improved
→ With roles, multisig, spending limits, rage quit, and more

Why XDAO is protected from this kind of scenario

The key difference: audits ✅

The DAO’s biggest flaw was launching without a full audit — and that’s exactly how the bug went unnoticed.
The XDAO framework has been audited by independent security firms like Hacken and Pessimistic. It’s already used in 40+ blockchains and thousands of real DAOs. The smart contracts for XDAO on TON will also be audited soon 🫡

Closed, secure interface ✅

In The DAO, users could interact directly with the contract — triggering dangerous functions intentionally or by mistake. In XDAO, all actions go through a Telegram interface with only safe, pre-approved operations. You can’t call low-level contract functions manually🔓

No critical functions like splitDAO ✅

The DAO had a feature that let anyone split off and take a chunk of the treasury. XDAO doesn’t allow that — all fund movements require voting or multisig, and DAO behavior is set clearly at creation. Sensitive parts are guarded by roles, limits, and validation rules 🖥

XDAO isn’t an MVP — it’s a mature product ✅

It’s gone through audits, dozens of releases, adoption in 40+ chains, and stress-tested by hundreds of thousands of DAOs.
This is robust infrastructure — and exactly what we’re building on for TON ⚙

Conclusion

The DAO was a pioneer — and a victim of its own newness.
Its failure was a turning point for the industry. Now it’s 2025. In 9 years, everything that once failed has been rebuilt from the ground up: architecture, audit practices, interfaces, legal clarity, and collective experience. Everything that was fatal in 2016 is fortified in XDAO today 🤩

XDAO for the fam:
QUORUM 📊

A quorum is the minimum number of votes required for a DAO decision to be considered valid

You can’t just gather three people and decide the fate of the treasury if there are hundreds of members in the DAO. To prevent manipulation and apathy, every vote sets a quorum — a predefined threshold of participation. For example, 20% of all eligible voters

If the quorum isn’t reached, the proposal is automatically rejected — even if most of the voters said “yes”. This motivates members to stay engaged and participate actively in governance 👁‍🗨

Why quorum matters:

1️⃣ It protects the DAO from decisions made by too few people
2️⃣ It boosts legitimacy — the more people vote, the stronger the trust in the outcome
3️⃣ It adds flexibility — you can set a high quorum for important votes, and a low one for routine matters

Without a quorum, decisions can be made by too narrow a group, which undermines legitimacy and trust within the DAO. But a properly configured quorum gives the system flexibility — routine decisions can be delegated to a smaller group, while major questions go to a vote by the full community. With a quorum, a DAO stays decentralized but operates faster and more effectively 😎😎😎

How PleasrDAO bought the rarest album in the world and what happened next 🎧

In 2021, PleasrDAO — a group of collectors and crypto enthusiasts — purchased the only copy of the Wu-Tang Clan album “Once Upon a Time in Shaolin” for $4 million 💵

So, what’s the deal with this album?

• 31 tracks recorded in absolute secrecy over 6 years
• The album was conceived as an art object: a single copy, like a painting in a museum
• The disc was packed in a silver case and kept in a safe in Marrakech, like a treasure
• The album can’t be released officially until 2103
• Only private listening sessions for a select few — as stated in the contract

Originally, the album belonged to the controversial pharma mogul Martin Shkreli, who was convicted of fraud. After his arrest, the album was seized and put up for sale 🏷

Fun fact: PleasrDAO made an actual contract with the U.S. Department of Justice to buy the album — a unique instance of a DAO interacting with a government agency on such a level 🏛

So why did PleasrDAO do this?

They didn’t just buy the album as a collectible. Their goal is to liberate the music for the community, holding exclusive listening sessions and sharing snippets with fans. Soon, they plan to tokenize the rights to the album, making it accessible to a broader audience through blockchain 👥

Today, PleasrDAO is gathering the rarest artifacts of the Web3 era and rethinking who should own art in this new digital age. This case is yet another confirmation that DAOs can change the game in many different fields 😎

Telegram x xAI: what’s the real play here? 😏

Telegram has announced a partnership with Elon Musk’s xAI to integrate the Grok AI chatbot into the app this summer.

While everyone’s still reposting Durov’s tweets, let’s take a closer look — what’s really behind this move?

📊 Telegram will receive $300M in cash and equity, plus 50% of all Grok subscriptions made through the app. That’s a big win for a platform that’s been searching for a sustainable business model without ads or selling user data.

📈 For Musk, this is also a power move. Grok loses its exclusivity on X (Twitter) but gains access to Telegram’s billion-strong user base. That means more paying users — and more revenue for xAI.

🌐 Telegram is already a social network, fintech app, media platform, and Web3 hub — now it’s becoming an AI hub too. All in one app. No wonder Durov has been calling it a “superapp.”

The deal with xAI brings:

➡️ A new revenue stream for both sides
➡️ Boosted valuation for Telegram
➡️ Deeper integration with TON and Web3
➡️ Stronger positioning as a superapp and Web3 platform

There’s also a geopolitical and ideological layer here: Telegram + xAI is shaping up to be a serious answer to Western Big Tech and Asian superapps 💪

XDAO for the fam:
RAGE QUIT 🏃‍♂️💨

Rage Quit is a mechanism that allows a DAO member to leave the organization and withdraw their share of the treasury

It’s used in DAOs where members hold “shares” (share tokens) that represent their portion of the collective budget. If you disagree with a decision or simply no longer want to participate, you can initiate a Rage Quit and receive your share of the assets — proportional to your stake 🔙

Think of it as an insurance policy: no one becomes a hostage to decisions they don’t support — you can exit at any time

What’s required to Rage Quit:

1️⃣ Be a member of a DAO with fixed share tokens
2️⃣ Not be actively participating in an ongoing vote (usually, Rage Quit is only allowed before or after a vote)
3️⃣ Submit the command — and your share of the treasury is automatically transferred to you. After that, you’re no longer part of the DAO’s governance

Why it matters:

— Gives new members confidence — you can always leave with what you brought in
— Protects the minority from majority dominance
— Encourages honesty: no one wants to lose contributors (and funds) over toxic decisions

Rage Quit isn’t about emotion — it’s a powerful tool to preserve balance and trust inside a DAO 🤗🤗🤗

XDAO for the fam:
DELEGATION 🤝

In a DAO, you don’t always have to vote yourself — you can pass that right to another member. That’s what delegation is all about

If you hold governance tokens, you can choose someone you trust and delegate your voting power to them. They’ll vote on your behalf until you decide to take that power back. The tokens stay in your wallet — only the right to vote is transferred 💬

Why it matters:
➡ Not everyone has the time or desire to dive into every vote
➡ Delegates are often more informed and vote more deliberately
➡ DAO activity increases, and proposals don’t just sit around without enough votes

You decide: vote directly or entrust your voice to someone who’s in the know. Delegation gives you flexibility — without sacrificing decentralization 🗣

A DAO where pixels control millions 🖼

Meet Nouns DAO. One of the most unconventional DAOs in crypto!

Every day, they have an event — a unique NFT character called a Noun is minted. It’s a pixel guy with glasses and random attributes. The NFT goes to auction. The winner gets both the Noun and 1 vote in the DAO. The money from the sale goes to the community treasury. Starting from August 8, 2021, one new Noun has been minted and auctioned every day — and this process 👾

What does the DAO do with the money?

At its peak, the treasury held over $50M. All funds are controlled by Noun holders through voting. And here’s where they actually go:

— creation of cartoons and animations 🎬
— sponsorship of skateboarders, snowboarders, and even Olympians 🛹
— art events, exhibitions, and street art 🧑‍🎨
— educational Web3 projects 📚
— merch, toys, and tons of custom projects based on the Noun character 🧢

What’s the idea?

Nouns DAO is not about a tech project with a roadmap. It’s about how a community can become a brand and invest cultural weight into it 💎

The project has no whitepaper, no utility, and no goal to “10x” tokens. The goal is to spread the visual language of Nouns as a cultural phenomenon — and to do that by funding anything that resonates with their style

Maybe the strongest DAOs in crypto won’t be the ones with products — but the ones with culture? 💪

Where are DAOs legal in 2025? ⚖️

Not long ago, DAOs had no clear legal status — but that’s quickly changing. More and more countries are giving the green light to decentralized organizations. Here’s where DAOs are already officially recognized 👇🏼

🇺🇸 USA: Several states — including Wyoming, Vermont, Tennessee, and Utah — have passed laws allowing DAOs to register as LLCs

🇲🇭 Marshall Islands: Since 2022, DAOs can register as non-profit entities with limited liability. This was the first country in the world to legally recognize DAOs on a national level

🇦🇪 UAE (RAK DAO, ADGM): As of 2024, the DAO Association Regime (DARe) allows DAOs to register as full legal entities with limited liability

🇸🇬 Singapore: There’s no dedicated DAO law, but DAOs can be structured as a Foundation or a Company Limited by Guarantee

🇨🇭 Switzerland: DAOs can operate as associations or foundations — offering full legal structure and liability protection

🇱🇮 Liechtenstein: DAOs can register as DLT Foundations or Associations under the country’s blockchain law

🇪🇪 Estonia: DAOs can be registered as non-profit associations with legal personality and limited liability

🇲🇹 Malta: Allows DAOs to register through existing legal structures like foundations or associations

🇬🇮 Gibraltar: Offers flexible legal frameworks for DAOs, including foundations and limited liability companies

DAOs are no longer just an experiment for crypto geeks. Governments across the globe are updating their laws for decentralization — embracing a new format of collective ownership where the rules are set by the community itself 📝

XDAO for the fam:
MULTISIG (Multi-signature) 🔐

Multisig is one of the most powerful security tools in a DAO. It’s a special type of crypto wallet that requires more than one signature to authorize a transaction. For example, 3 out of 5. Or 7 out of 7. These rules are defined by the DAO participants

But what exactly does “signature” mean? ✍️

On the blockchain, each participant has a private key — a unique digital signature that proves the action is performed by them. The private key is stored only on the user’s side (in a wallet like Tonkeeper, MetaMask, etc.) and is never shared

When someone proposes to spend funds from a multisig wallet, the transaction remains “pending” until the required number of signatures are collected — confirmations from the other key holders. Until then, the funds stay untouched ⏳

Why this matters for a DAO:

— No one can withdraw funds alone without the approval of others, even if they have access
— A malicious actor who steals one participant’s private key still won’t be able to drain the treasury on their own
— There’s no need for a full DAO-wide voting process — decision-making is delegated to managing partners who hold keys to the multisig

If you’re serious about money and transparency — a multisig wallet is a must. That’s where real decentralization begins ⛔
