After messing around in the DAO space for so long, my deepest feeling is one word—堵 (blockage). Want to propose a suggestion? Waiting ten days or half a month is the basic operation. The efficiency of fund circulation can drive people crazy, and in the end, it’s still a few people playing there. Retail investors have no say, and can only watch helplessly.

This situation only changed when I came across a new type of DAO project. Recently, this project’s governance upgrade really has some substance—combining on-chain voting mechanisms with deep integration of smart fund pools. The result? The average cycle from proposal submission to execution has been cut down to 48 hours. Unlike before, when proposals would just sink without a trace, this time, fund flows and execution progress are all transparent and auditable in real-time. Ordinary token holders truly hold decision-making power, not just nominal participation.

The most practical part is the incentive design. The community reward pool is maxed out at 500,000 USDC, distributed based on your token holdings and governance participation. In plain terms, as long as you actively vote and participate in discussions—even with small holdings—you can earn real money. This is far better than a DAO that’s just about burning tokens. Having both a say and earning profits—this experience is on a completely different level.

There’s also nothing to criticize about security—multi-signature wallets combined with automation scripts greatly reduce risks. All on-chain operations are transparent and auditable. I’m even more optimistic about their future plans for cross-chain governance expansion, which is expected to improve asset dispatch efficiency by 30%-40%. When that happens, the entire ecosystem will operate more flexibly and smoothly.

In the DAO world, efficiency equals opportunity, and participation equals power. When ordinary users can truly become decision-makers, that’s what a DAO should look like. Early entrants can indeed secure a position—participate in core governance and enjoy the benefits of ecosystem growth. Missing this first-mover advantage makes it hard to catch up later.
