On this Episode of Rehash: a web3 podcast, we sat down with Stefen Deleveaux from Govrn and Caribbean Blockchain Alliance to talk all things DAOs.
On this Episode of Rehash: a web3 podcast, we sat down with Stefen Deleveaux. Stefen is a Growth Lead at Govrn, the President of Caribbean Blockchain Alliance, and a contributor to several DAOs.
We kickoff the episode getting to know Stefen, his background, and how he initially got interested in web3. Stefen compares DAOs to co-ops and we discuss their similarities and differences. We chat about what’s great about the DAO ecosystem today and what still needs some improvement, all while looking at past models of governance to figure out what works and what doesn’t.
We talk about the downsides of token based governance, and the upsides of hybrid-token-NFT governance, and the general best practices DAOs should follow. Stefen gives us an overview of Govrn, and we discuss the importance of contribution management.
Stefen shouts out some cool DAO tools and we look to the future predicting whether or not WAGMI will last forever, how DAO culture might evolve over time, and what we can do to make web3 more inclusive. Diana and Stefen both remind listeners that we are indeed still early in this space and if you want to make a difference you can!
