DAO-Analyzer: Exploring Activity and Participation in Blockchain Organizations
Javier Arroyo, David Davó, Elena Martínez-Vicente, Youssef Faqir-Rhazoui, Samer Hassan · 2022
Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) are a new kind of organization that relies on blockchain software to govern their projects. Typically, DAO members may put forward and vote on proposals. For instance these proposals may consist on someone doing some tasks in exchange for a share of the DAO crypto-funds. In recent times, DAOs have gained a remarkable adoption, and yet they are still understudied by the academic literature. In this work, we present a visual analytics tool to study DAO activity focusing on their participation and temporal evolution. Our tool will hopefully help to stimulate research on this new kind of online community and collaborative software.
