A Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) is a community-led entity that operates without a central authority. It is governed by smart contracts on a blockchain, ensuring transparent, automated decision-making where stakeholders vote on key matters.

How Does a DAO Work?
  1. Smart Contracts: The rules and decision-making processes of the DAO are encoded into smart contracts, which execute automatically when conditions are met.
  2. Token-Based Governance: Members hold governance tokens, which grant them voting rights to influence proposals and changes within the organization.
  3. Voting Mechanism: Token holders submit and vote on proposals, with decisions executed automatically based on predefined rules.
  4. Transparency & Security: All decisions, transactions, and governance processes are recorded on the blockchain, ensuring full transparency and security.
Why Use a DAO?
  • Decentralization: Eliminates the need for a central authority, distributing power among community members.
  • Transparency: All actions and funds are recorded on the blockchain, reducing corruption or manipulation.
  • Automation: Smart contracts enforce rules automatically, reducing administrative overhead.
  • Community-Driven: Members actively participate in decision-making, aligning the organization with its stakeholders’ interests.
What Are Some Examples of DAOs?
  • MakerDAO: Manages the DAI stablecoin.
  • Uniswap DAO: Governs the Uniswap decentralized exchange.
  • The CGS DAO: Empowers token holders to vote on app upgrades, features, and governance decisions.
How Does a DAO Relate to CGS?

The Community Grocery Store (CGS) operates under a DAO structure, allowing users to participate in governance. Token holders can vote on platform updates, fee structures, and strategic decisions, ensuring a community-driven and transparent ecosystem.
