0/ 11 years ago, the Ethereum Whitepaper outlined the vision, purpose, and technical design of Ethereum.

1/ The paper suggested the use case of “Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs)”, or leaderless organizations governed by code. Now, DAOs aren't just an idea, they're used in production every day.

2/ Today, DAOs are integral to the ecosystem: - $21B managed by DAO treasuries - 11.8M people holding governance tokens worldwide - 268.8k decisions made by DAOs Data from @DeepDAO_io.

3/ Ethereum Layer 2 chains like @Optimism, @arbitrum, @zksync, and @Scroll_ZKP use DAOs to shape their underlying infrastructure and ecosystem, with some managing treasuries worth billions.

4/ DeFi products like @Uniswap, @SkyEcosystem, @LidoFinance, @aave, @MorphoLabs, and more use DAOs to shape how their applications evolve. The community votes on user upgrades, fees, rewards, and more to govern how the protocol changes and operates.

5/ DAO tooling providers like @AragonProject, @tallyxyz, @SnapshotLabs, @OpenZeppelin Governor, @DAOhaus and others are building solutions to make decentralized governance possible. They help DAOs launch, manage proposals, vote, and coordinate.

6/ Projects like @gitcoin, @OctantApp & @Giveth are channeling millions toward open-source software, climate, education & more, powered by the communities who rely on them. NFT-based DAOs like @nounsdao and @PublicNouns auction one NFT per day, using the proceeds to fund ideas.

7/ For more stats on DAOs you can visit sources like @boardroom_io, @Dune, @SnapshotLabs, @tallyxyz, @DeepDAO_io, @santimentfeed, and @flipsidecrypto.

8/ From idea to adoption, DAOs are built on Ethereum. What will you build to shape the future of the onchain ecosystem?
