DAO

DAO: Empowering Communities with ICP-Powered Decentralization explores how organizations built on the Internet Computer Protocol are reshaping collaboration, governance, and shared value in the digital age. With precision and insight, Daniel W. Marshall traces the rise of DAOs where transparency and collective choice replace traditional hierarchies.

From the core of ICP's blockchain design to real-world implementation, Marshall offers a grounded guide for creating and managing DAOs that work. He explains how the Network Nervous System (NNS) enables true on-chain governance, how reverse gas models remove barriers to participation, and how these mechanisms build fairness into digital ecosystems.

Through detailed case studies, the book reveals how ICP-powered DAOs are driving change across finance, social innovation, and creative industries. It also tackles the complex terrain of regulation and ethics touching on compliance, privacy, and intellectual property in decentralized environments.

Clear, practical, and forward-looking, DAO: Empowering Communities with ICP-Powered Decentralization gives builders, entrepreneurs, and visionaries the tools to shape tomorrow's collaborative economies. The question it leaves is simple what happens when communities truly own their future?
