DAOs are Autonomous Decentralised Organisations that use smart contracts and blockchain technology to operate autonomously. These organisations are based on collective decision-making and transparency, and can be used for a wide variety of purposes, from project management to community governance.
In a Solarpunk future, DAOs could be used to help communities efficiently manage their resources and make decisions in a fair and transparent manner. For example, W3ST works as a DAO that manages funds to activate IRL nodes, under a solarpunk vision and in a decentralised way.
DAOs could also be used to foster collaboration between communities and to promote a circular economy in which resources are used sustainably.
