Saro McKenna, CEO of Dacoco (Alien Worlds), presented at CVC 2025 on how their DAO governance operates at scale.​

Key governance features:

  • 12 DAOs run with elected custodians
  • Live on-chain voting with stake-weighted decisions
  • Years of proposals and millions in distributed tokens
  • Competition between DAOs has refined the system

McKenna contrasts this with direct democracy models, which she found led to fragmented, short-term thinking.​ The custodian-based approach supports long-term priorities and effective treasury management.​

The system uses a delegated democracy structure rather than simple referendum-style voting, allowing for more structured resource allocation as DAOs scale.​
