Working for DAOs

Opolis


"With an estimated 90 million self-employed workers by 2028 in the U.S. alone, current toolsets are either out-of-date or non-existent for this population of workers. Up to now, virtually all employment and HR technology is designed toward corporations as the primary ‘customer’. That is all about to change as we see the emergence of next-generation Employment Cooperatives like Opolis.
Opolis was designed by those that use it; by independent workers for independent workers. The core characteristics of the Opolis platform are:
The ecosystem is as permissionless as compliance will allow.
For its users, it acts as a benevolent and neutral public utility.
All stakeholder groups are incentivized around community growth.
Value is created and shared equitably by all stakeholders.
The ecosystem is owned by its users and used by its owners.
Members contribute to important decisions about the network."

"With Opolis, freelancers and gig workers everywhere have access to the same health benefits, life and disability insurance, and other services that only corporate employees have had access to traditionally."

Legal DAOs

Ricardian LLC (Delaware)


"Tokenized LLC toolkit using a Delaware Series LLC anchor and NFT minter."

Otoco (Delaware or Wyoming)


"Simply use your Ethereum wallet to spin up a Delaware or Wyoming LLC by sending 39 DAI to the OtoCo company assembly smart contract. Activation is instant without loss of legal validity."
More on legal DAOs:
: example of a DAO organized as a Delaware limited liability company.

"Unlike The DAO, which was arguably an implied partnership that provided members with limited legal protection, The LAO's operating agreement expressly limits the members' liability and limits any fiduciary obligations amongst members, in each case, to the extent permitted by applicable law."

Better Work Together

The role of Source

"Today’s topic looks at the importance of identifying the starting point of an idea or a project. Who was the original creator, the inventor, the initiator (which I shall refer to as the Source)? How are upsets in teams connected to this concept of source? Why do some projects simply not work and why do we often react miffed and protective when it comes to sharing our ideas? And how does it influence hierarchies? Naming the source is not only important to create balance in teams, projects and organizations, but also in our personal relationships and in dealing with us. When I acknowledge the source in someone else, we work together more joyfully and create fewer misunderstandings. If I feel and honour the source in myself and follow it’s natural flow, I am more likely to do “my thing” and experience more wellbeing."
