How can we make Cardano the go-to choice for building DAOs? What tools can we provide to enable effective DAO's Creation & Operation

Currently if a DAO (even one that is aimed to build products and services around Cardano) wants to setup their DAO infrastructure, the current options are all based on, mostly, the Ethereum blockchain.

These dApps range from basic Treasury management, to Decision making in DAOs and even supporting services like Decentralized Justice. Some of them are:

Cardano needs:

Why is it important?

Blockchain applications have moved from Currency to DeFi, to NFT. DAOs are Next. Cardano needs to be ready for when that happens.

How does success looks like?

There are no better ways to manage your DAO than to use Cardano DAOs. From Small Business to Global Communities.. Cardano DAOs deliver.
