🌪Tornado Cash’s whirlwind of a ride is almost over

Tornado Cash got hacked in the most nightmarish way for a DAO — by having its governance process subverted by a malicious actor who got the unsuspecting community to give him the power of 1,200,000 votes while the entire TORN community only has around 700,000 votes.

📌And then, he suddenly proposed to give all the control back. But not before using Tornado Cash’s own mixer to obfuscate the movement of the 483,000 TORN tokens he stole from their treasury, netting around $890,000 in ETH with another $160,000 still held in TORN.

How will it end? Well, there may be a happy ending in sight very soon. And a major lesson for all DAOS.

While development work is ongoing, the community is growing with initiatives like the DeXe Social Activity Party and informational conversations like the one with Deepa of ImpactDAOs.

📌Check out this member-submitted proposal on updated legal strategy.

Check out DeXe thought pieces on DAO Money Heist, where savvy criminal operators manipulate DAO governance to enrich themselves. And about Nonsensical DAOs, whose voting and proposal behavior does not seem to serve any actual governance purposes.

📖Twitter space recap

A few days ago, our DeXe DAO Talks had an interesting discussion with a crypto-native attorney, Irina Heaver, and Taras Zharun — our community member who submitted a proposal in our governance forum about legal strategies for the DeXe DAO.

📌In answering community questions, Taras explained why he saw the need for such a proposal, what legal issues he was anticipating, how the legal entity would be governed, why Switzerland, and more.

Irina shared some of her extensive knowledge on the legal issues facing DAOs, including the benefits of having a legal wrapper, why choosing a jurisdiction matters, how a legal entity protects the DAO, why Switzerland moved away from Foundations and towards Associations, and much more.

The discussion was truly eye-opening for understanding the interaction between a DAO's on-chain and off-chain governance. Check out the full recap 👉 here

💡«One token - one vote». This system quickly became dominant in the DAO because of its simplicity and clarity. However, it hides enormous problems. The main one is plutocracy.

Are you in a DAO without knowing it? A case study.

📍We normally think of DAOs as blockchain-based organizations with a governance token, on/offchain voting, a treasury, etc. But there are currently millions of groups around the world organized essentially as a DAO without even suspecting it. In fact, you may already be a member of a few.

Have you ever been part of a secret Telegram chat group where trading alpha is discussed? Such groups act a lot like a DAO in how they handle membership, governance, treasury management and more.

They could also benefit from formally becoming a DAO.

📖 How? Find out all the details of how these groups are DAO-like and how they could be DAOing better in the full article 👉 here
