DAOstar One is a roundtable of key organizations in the DAO ecosystem. We build interoperable standards and other public infrastructure for DAOs and DAO tooling.

At present, over 90 organizations are DAOstar One members, tackling different problems and shepherding the DAO ecosystem to a resilient future. We are supported by the Optimism Collective, Arbitrum Foundation, EU’s NGI initiative and other members of the DAOstar One roundtable. Metagovernance Project, an interdisciplinary research collective and a 501(c)(3) non-profit is DAOstar’s fiscal sponsor and parent organization.

How it happened

A group of DAO folks from Aragon, Moloch, Gnosis, Abridged, Tally, and Metagov were chatting at MCON 2021 and someone asked, “wait, hasn’t someone already built a standard for DAOs?” When we realized that the answer was “no”, we decided to start building it. The roundtable emerged out of the effort to build the standard.
