Joining us is Phygital, a community member who spoke up during our previous live talk and asked a really tough question about member and delegate incentives. So how could we not invite him to talk about this important topic at length?
✅ Phygital calls himself "DAO curious" but that is just scratching the surface. Phygital loves deep and lively spaces, is passionate about Web3 tools and infrastructure, and has a particular interest in bridging the physical vs digital world divide via NFTs. We'll certainly have a lot to talk about.

✅DeXe sharing a bold vision for DAOs at the DAOist in Paris
Our core contributor, Dmytro Kotliarov, spoke at The DAOist conference on July 16th, in Paris, about key tools for stronger, more sustainable DAOs.
📌Transparency is a crucial tool that is at the foundation of decentralization and that truly raises the level of DAO efficiency to another level.
Motivation is lacking in DAOs at this time, as is evident by a lack of activity and engagement with the governance process. Members must be properly and transparently motivated.
❕Lastly, all the tools need to be on one platform. It must be easy to build and govern a DAO in one place.
Dmytro Kotliarov discussed this in Paris with a number of people currently building DAOs. And the consensus is strong for making DAOs more transparent, easier to govern, and with better motivation mechanisms.
