Dacoco CEO: DAOs Need Execution, Not Just Voting
Dacoco CEO: DAOs Need Execution, Not Just Voting
馃敡 DAOs broken promise
Saro McKenna, Cofounder and CEO of Dacoco (Alien Worlds), addresses a critical gap in DAO governance: execution and accountability.
While many DAOs focus heavily on voting mechanisms, McKenna emphasizes that decisions mean nothing without follow-through. She explains how on-chain systems can bridge this gap through:
- Escrow-based reward structures
- Verified outcome tracking
- Accountability mechanisms that ensure work gets completed
This builds on her previous insights from CVC 2025, where she noted that direct democracy and referendum-style voting often lead to fragmented, short-term decision making. Her experience with Alien Worlds鈥攚hich mines across multiple chains and directs rewards into a DAO鈥攈as shown that custodian-based governance models better support long-term priorities and effective treasury management.
The core message: voting is just the beginning. Real DAO success requires systems that guarantee decisions translate into tangible results.
