TRM Talks DAOs: A Discussion on Decentralized Autonomous Organizations

A DAO, or “Decentralized Autonomous Organization,” is a community-governed entity with no central authority. Imagine a corporation — made up of a network of individuals with a common interest — where the governance rules and decision-making are executed by software programs and the community shares a bank account funded with cryptocurrency for the purpose of fulfilling their shared vision. We have seen DAOs form to bid on an original copy of the U.S. Constitution, to buy an NBA team, and to facilitate financial services.

In this month’s TRM Talk, we’re joined by leading experts to unpack the Tao of a DAO: Aaron Wright, Professor at Cardozo School of Law and co-founder and CEO of Tribute Labs; Graham Novak, Partner at 28th Street Ventures who launched ConstitutionDAO; and Patrick South, Director of Business Development at TRM Labs.

Watch the recording to learn:
- What a DAO is and how they are operating today
- How DAOs are thinking about compliance and security
- How other businesses can engage with or invest in DAOs; can you "Know-Your-DAO"?
- The outlook for DAO-related disruption

This webinar is hosted by TRM Labs, a blockchain analytics company. We work with crypto businesses, financial institutions and government agencies to monitor, detect and investigate fraud and financial crime in crypto.
