What is a DAO token?

A DAO token is an ERC-20 (or equivalent) asset that grants membership, voting power, and/or cash-flow rights in a Decentralised Autonomous Organisation—an on-chain entity run entirely by smart contracts.
Token holders propose and vote on upgrades, budgets, partnerships, or asset allocations; votes are tallied automatically and execution is trust-less.
Treasuries often exceed $1 B (e.g., Uniswap, ENS), making DAO tokens de-facto keys to multi-billion dollar protocols.

Quick Facts

  • Purpose: Governance, revenue-share, membership access, or combo (“gov-share”).
  • Voting: 1 token = 1 vote (common) or quadratic/delegated (newer DAOs).
  • Supply: Fixed, inflationary, or burn-to-vote (e.g., Maker MKR flapper).
  • Chains: Ethereum (80 %), but also Polygon, Solana, Cosmos, Stacks.
  • Treasury size: Top 20 DAOs manage >$25 B in diversified crypto and stablecoins.

Top DAO Tokens (Live Examples)

Token Ticker DAO / Protocol 2024 Voting Power Snapshot
Uniswap UNI Uniswap DAO Control 1.8 B UNI treasury, fee-switch, v4 hooks.
Maker MKR MakerDAO Set DAI stability fee, surplus burn, collateral onboarding.
Aave AAVE Aave DAO Risk params, new-market listings, AAVE v3 upgrades.
ENS ENS ENS DAO .eth pricing, treasury grants, root multisig members.
Compound COMP Compound DAO Interest-rate models, asset listings, reserve factors.
Curve CRV Curve DAO Gauge weights (yield bribes), new pools, CRV inflation.
Lido LDO Lido DAO Node-operator set, staking fee, dual-governance veto.
dYdX DYDX dYdX v3 DAO Trading rewards, treasury spend, v4 chain migration.

How It Works

  1. Acquire DAO token on DEX/CEX or earn via liquidity mining.
  2. Delegate to yourself or a trusted voter (gas-less on Snapshot).
  3. Create proposal (off-chain temp-check, then on-chain executable).
  4. Vote — quorum (e.g., 4 % of supply) and approval % thresholds must be met.
  5. Timelock executes code automatically after delay (12 h – 7 days).
  6. Treasury spend or parameter change goes live without human sign-off.

Benefits

  • Trust-less governance – no board, no CEO, no jurisdiction veto.
  • Transparent treasury – every inflow/outflow on-chain, real-time.
  • Token holder alignment – voters directly benefit from protocol growth (fee share, burns).
  • Rapid innovation – community can ship features faster than corporate red-tape.
  • Global membership – permissionless entry, 24/7 voting, borderless capital raises.

Risks & Trade-offs

  • Low voter turnout – <10 % participation common; whales can swing outcomes.
  • Plutocracy – richest wallets dominate; quadratic voting still game-able via sybil.
  • Legal limbo – regulators may class governance tokens as securities (SEC vs. DAOs).
  • Smart-contract bugs – malicious or fat-finger proposals can drain treasury (e.g., BadgerDAO hack).
  • Token concentration – founders/VCs often hold >20 %, limiting decentralisation.
  • Proposal spam – micro-proposals and voter bribery (gauge wars) add noise.

Final Thoughts

DAO tokens are programmable share certificates for open-source networks: hold them and you become a board-member with veto power over a multi-billion dollar balance sheet.
The upside is radical transparency and fast innovation; the downside is voter apathy and regulatory overhang.
Treat them like early-stage equity: research treasury runway, voter participation, and legal structure before aping—and never vote blindly on 4 a.m. Snapshot polls.
