Alien Worlds Announces Friday Night Twitch Gaming Event

**Dacoco CEO Saro McKenna addresses a critical gap in DAO governance: execution.** While most DAOs focus on voting mechanisms, McKenna emphasizes that **accountability and follow-through** are equally important. She outlines how on-chain systems can bridge the gap between decisions and outcomes: - **Escrow-based rewards** that release only when work is verified - **On-chain verification** of completed tasks and deliverables - **Custodian-based governance** for long-term treasury management McKenna's perspective comes from experience building Alien Worlds, which operates across multiple chains. She notes that **direct democracy often leads to fragmented, short-term thinking** rather than sustained progress. The focus shifts from "how do we vote" to "how do we ensure decisions translate into real results."
