Token hoarders defeat the purpose of most DAOs: Study

The study also showed that decentralized organizations work best when they’re built around a tight-knit group of focused participants. A pair of researchers from the University of Texas at Austin and Princeton University conducted a study to determine how tokenization affects decentralization in decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). Their findings indicate that many of the challenges to autonomy are related to the reasons individual users have for participating.  According to their research, the larger a DAO grows, the more incentive participants have to consider DAO tokens investments: “The presence of investors diverts the subsidy away from users and thus harms their participation. More importantly, investors may even take a majority stake to seize control of the platform.” In a typical token-based DAO scheme, rather than having a CEO or leader implement decisions, individual participants are issued distributed authority through tokens. This prevents the people who maintai...
