DAO & sub-DAO definitions

[Kouteki]

I wanted to clarify one thing before we codify it in the Constitution. We have defined 3 types of DAOs:

• GovDAO: gno.land and future shards will have a mandatory GovDAO that governs that chain
• DAO: other DAOs can exist with different charters, but they cannot override the rules set by GovDAO
• Sub-DAO: Sub-DAOs are the same, only they are a subset of a specific DAO. Rule-wise they are the same as a regular DAO

Any thoughts?

For clarification, What is the relationship of the WorxDAO to this stuff?

My understanding is that WorxDAO is primarily responsible for handling day-to-day operational tasks and implementing the strategic objectives and decisions passed by GovDAO.

I would propose that we simplify the classification to two DAO types: GovDAO and subDAOs.

GovDAO serves as the only “core” DAO in the ecosystem, providing overarching governance and foundational laws that govern all other entities. The contribution system mitigates the inherent centralization risk of having a single core DAO.

Any other DAO within the ecosystem is effectively a subDAO, as its authority is derived from and subordinate to GovDAO. SubDAOs may have specific mandates or charters but must operate within the bounds of GovDAO’s laws, which are foundational and cannot be overridden.

Ideas

• Sub-DAOs across independent chains, where the charter and rules that govern it can be independent.
• Decentralized decision making processes
• explore ideas like uDAO to provide an interface
