About Gino and how he got into web3
Gino comes from a human sciences background and has worked in several industries including product design and security. He discovered crypto and he knew he had something to contribute.
Growing pains in the early stages of Decentraland
Engagement is the first hurdle that most DAOs have to overcome. User engagement was one of the most important parts of Decentraland. So it was designed with simplicity and transparency, so users and members could easily figure out what they needed to do.
Advice for people who want to start a DAO
First figure out why you want to do it. Once you have a purpose for your DAO, then try to use an alternative to token voting, because new DAOs have the unique opportunity to experiment with different structures before they grow and become more established. The amount of tokens a member has can be one strategy that informs the weight of the vote, but it shouldn’t be the only strategy.
Gino’s favorite tools for running DAOs
Decentraland uses Snapshot for off-chain voting. He works closely with the Snapshot team, and the team is constantly updating the product to meet the needs of the users.
Other DAOs to check out
MakerDAO and Nouns are Gino’s favorites.
