Jan 26, 2023

Interview with Vikram Aditya of DAOLens

How Vikram got into web3 and DAOs Vikram was still in college as web3 was hitting its stride. He played around with it for years before he decided to explore the idea of e-commerce in the crypto space. They discovered DAOs and all of the ways they can simplify the process for DAO members and solve common problems that DAOs often face. Common challenges faced by DAOs and how to address them Most DAOs are focused on survival over growing their community. The essential roles of a DAO are treasury management and community engagement. Focus on these two areas to get your DAO off to the best possible start. Vikram’s advice for someone starting a DAO Most DAOs start with just a group of friends. When you really start practicing decentralization, you will feel uncomfortable. We have grown up in centralized communities, so it’s not the way we are used to working. Start with small projects and study the larger DAOs. Vikram’s favorite DAOs Vikram spends a lot of time in Nouns. He also really enjoys watching Polygon Village. Another must-see is the work being done with Bitcoin Passport. One interesting trend Vikram is observing is the prevalence of impact DAOs. There are some amazing projects being done in that space.
