Must-read paper by @BKCHarvard Faculty Associate @samerP2P on the categorization of decentralized autonomous organizations ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract…
To which extent are blockchain-based organizations, DAOs, truly democratic? Do their services expand beyond their own field? Our last paper delves into the @AragonProject DAOs ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract… Led by PhD student Andrea Peña, with Javier Arroyo and @jorgesaldivar 1/2

We just published "Blockchain (not) for Everyone: Design Challenges of Blockchain-based Applications" in @acm_chi dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3… Are public blockchain apps usable enough for mass adoption? (Spoiler: no). Our take on this thread by our lead coauthor:
🧐Super optimistic headlines about blockchain’s promises to revolutionize the world are everywhere. But, is #blockchain already prepared to be massively adopted? Together with @godzillayelena @drozas #maricruzvaliente @samerP2P we addressed this question in the following study🧵

"To permeate the mainstream, blockchain technology should be easily accessible to the general public. Results unveil that even users familiar with technology experienced severe difficulties using blockchain-based apps." - @samerP2P dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3…

Last but not least, in our research, one of our recurrent topics is the inequality within online communities, e.g. who participates more, or other power dynamics p2pmodels.eu/publications-2/

Do you have any other ideas that we could implement in our processes? Do you implement other good practices that could be inspiring? Do you have feedback on how to improve ours? Please let us know!
🚀🚀 Chain Community launches a new version of DAO-Analyzer, a web dashboard that shows the state and evolution of DAOs. Check it here 👇🏾 dao-analyzer.science/daohaus

DAO-Analyzer retrieves the data from the different blockchains using @graphprotocol, an indexing protocol for querying decentralized networks such as @ethereum @gnosischain, @Polygon , etc. Using this protocol, we get the public data stored on the blockchain about each DAO.
