Notes

  1. It is useful to distinguish the decentralization of decision rights from the distributed nature of computation that underlies the algorithmic technologies employed (such as blockchain), and from the roughly equal number of ties among people in the network of social interactions (as opposed to a hub and spoke network). These three aspects vary across DAOs.

  2. Resilience to disruptions and security threats is a property of the underlying distributed computing technology adopted and can be considered separately.
