For those building in the DAO space, let's be clear about what we're actually solving for.

Not this.

What matters is having rules written into the code itself—no middleman, no discretion, no backdoor. When smart contracts enforce the logic, you eliminate the corruption angle altogether. Real decentralization isn't about removing authority; it's about making authority transparent and immutable.

The end goal? Create conditions where individuals can actually flourish. No gatekeepers deciding who gets access. No black boxes. Just pure incentive alignment and open competition.

That's the economic model worth believing in.

In plain terms, code is law; don't bother with those empty promises.

Sounds good, but in reality, how many DAOs have truly achieved this? Most are just old wine in new bottles. --- Is it really okay if the code is hardcoded? Why don't many projects last more than two years? --- It sounds good, but in practice? Concentrating governance tokens still leads back to centralization. --- Exactly, immutable—unless you need to upgrade the contract, haha. --- This theory is indeed attractive, but the key is how to enable ordinary people to participate. --- Finally, someone clarified it: it's not decentralization itself, but transparency and alignment. --- The problem lies in incentive design; most teams haven't thought it through thoroughly.
