OpCo - A DAO-adjacent Entity for Strategy Execution
After careful consideration, I’ve voted For this proposal. I think Entropy is working on something very needed, and very difficult to appease everyone. Their vision is in the right place so I’d like to extend the grace to them to believe in their ability to get it done right.
Concerns
- So far, Entropy has been a organization that does things, but not one to empower others. OpCo needs to be the latter.
- The structure is allowing freedoms needed for open market execution, while justifying itself as a government entity. Without constraints, this organization has mismatched incentives that will likely lead to organizational bloat and centralization.
- The justification for the entity design is citing the best of what other DAOs have done. None of these have been successful at both driving revenue and staying decenralized to provide a neutral public infrastructure. While Entropy is great at technical research and project management, this critical work doesn’t connect the principles cited to the design choices and lacks acknowledgement for critical organizational and systems design standards leading me to believe that the team is venturing into a territory that is outside of their expertise.
- A lack of defining what success looks like.
If one year from now, Entropy or OpCo is the driver of more than 50% of working groups by ARB funded, we should reassess this approach.
