We have yet to scratch the surface of what’s possible with DeFi, DAOs, and real world living.
The amount of excitement and wealth creation in Web3 right now means DAOs can raise large amounts of money for projects that might traditionally be hard to raise money for. CabinDAO is a good example of this.
And the unusually high yields available in DeFi mean that DAOs could put their money to work enhancing the lives of their members significantly more effectively than a normal business stuck in traditional finance. And in a way that makes membership better and better over time.
So what if DAOs used DeFi to enhance the lives of their members? And what if “real world” businesses tapped into the DAO movement to build new kinds of businesses that leverage the new Web3 world.
I’d like to introduce the concept of a Yield DAO: a DAO committed to enhancing the lives of its members by intelligently harnessing the financial tools at its disposal through DeFi.
Here are some ways it might work.
