Talking point: Members of a DAO take ownership stakes in the form of tokens and make decisions about spending that execute automatically based on code. DAOs are growing in size and influence, but are mostly the domain of people with technical know-how who are already involved in crypto. In a blog post, Dapper chief executive Roham Gharegozlou said the company was impressed by the Brud team’s work on the metaverse, an amorphous vision of connected virtual worlds. Dapper aims to bring mainstream consumer appeal to DAOs and the metaverse, similar to what NBA Top Shot did for NFTs.
