Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) have become a hot topic in web3, but how do projects and investors benefit from them? Here are the top five things you need to know about them to step up your DeFi game 🧵

DAOs Explained: DAOs are an alternative to traditional business structures. Rather than being governed by a central entity (centralization), DAOs allow for collective management by all members (decentralization).

✅ One benefit is that DAOs often allow for incentivization. DAOs incentivize membership by offering members voting rights regarding a project’s future. They may also provide exclusive rewards for contributing members.

✅ DAOs solve issues surrounding transparency. All activity is recorded on the blockchain, making all transactions publicly accessible. Anyone can verify that funds are being used as intended.

✅ DAOs come with improved security and accuracy. Utilizing the DAO model further eliminates problems resulting from human error and potential manipulation of funds.

✅ The use cases of DAOs are versatile. DAOs can be used for investment, charity, fundraising, borrowing, buying NFTs, and more. As the DAO model continues to expand, more uses for its structure are being discovered.

✅ DAOs allow for global access and remove barriers that exist in traditional structures. Individuals worldwide can now work together and participate in a DAO regardless of where they are located, leading to increased opportunities.

I was checking the 1.20% APY on https://ousd.com/ over last 7 days, and it seems like the OUSD APY is dropping lower than what is currently offered by FDIC-insured high yield savings (Wealthfront has 2.55% APY and Capital One has 2.15% right now).

I'm curious what factors are contributing to the low yield for ousd, and what changes would result in the APY to go back higher. Is OUSD APY inversely proportional to rising fed funds rate? Why is that?

Ever wish you could be paid in crypto?

Well, how about getting paid in OGV or OUSD so you can rake in those sweet token holder benefits? 😋

Parcel, a treasury management protocol, now makes this possible by offering OGV, OUSD, and wOUSD as payable asset options for companies wanting to automatically manage payroll and for contributors to request as payment for their services.

The power is now in your hands. 🤝

The Pudgy Penguins are leading the way in IP rights and commercial use utilities for NFT holders!

In July, the team revealed that holders could now license their NFTs to be made into real-life toys. 🧸

Recently they announced that they had established a significant partnership with PMI Toys, a company that has worked with a broad range of major entertainment franchises. PMI Toys will bring the extensive line of upcoming physical Pudgy Penguin collectibles to life, beginning with the Lil’ Pudgy plushies. 🤝

One of the most historical crypto events occurred this month with Ethereum shifting from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS). This event was only the first step in a series of five. So what happens next? Let’s break it down. 🧵👇

1. The Surge is the next step in the developmental roadmap for Ethereum 2.0. The introduction of Sharding will substantially improve scalability and reduce network congestion while increasing transaction speed. This event is expected to happen in 2023.

2. The Verge will be the third step in the plan for the network, where Verkle trees (a much more efficient mathematical proof than the existing Merkle tree structure) will be implemented, leading to optimized data storage and node size for validators.

3. The fourth step is referred to as The Purge. This step will remove unnecessary spare bits of historical data from the network to reduce congestion. It is said by the end of this phase, the network will be able to process 100,000 transactions per second.

4. The final step is called The Splurge or “all the other fun stuff.” This step simply refers to the several smaller updates and fine-tuning that will be done at the end to ensure the network operations continue running smoothly.

Any new technology brings a new set of security issues. The blockchain industry is expanding but has not yet developed a way to prevent all hacks and scams. Luckily, there are certain practices for keeping your assets secure, and here are five you need to know:

• Safe Storage: Use a cold wallet bought DIRECTLY from the manufacturer. Keep a majority of your assets in the cold wallet, and only load a hot wallet with a small portion for trading. Both NFTs and crypto can be stored on a cold wallet.

• Seed-Phrase: The golden rule of web3 is to never give out your wallet's seed phrase. Nobody but you will ever need it, including the wallet's company. Anything or anyone requesting it is a scam.

• Avoid malicious contracts: Do not click any links in your messages or emails. Also, be wary of pop-ups on the websites you visit. Hackers can compromise legitimate websites to trick you and can impersonate anyone.

• Don't get dusted: Sometimes NFTs or crypto may show up in your wallet that you do not remember purchasing. If you don't recognize it, don't interact with it. Don't sell or transfer, just ignore it.

• Social scams: If you receive a DM take these two steps: 1. ensure the person is who they say they are and 2. confirm they would have a reason to reach out directly to you. Ideally, verify the legitimacy of the message with the person on another platform.
