?️ Risks

Financial Accessibility • As tokens grow in value, it becomes expensive to join. The floor price for PROOF access is $80,000+ at the moment.
Technical Accessibility • We’re in the early adopter phase of DAOs.

? Key Lessons

NFT-gating is simple but less flexible than using fungible tokens. These are not mutually exclusive.
Think from first principles. Don’t force solutions. You may not need tokens.

? Hot Takes

DAOs, like NFTs, are primitives. These technologies are defined by early use cases. Although they are flexible and agnostic. A DAO can be a community, company, protocol, investment fund, city, country or who knows what else.
Token-gated physical communities will gain traction after digitally-native communities. We have unsolved problems in governance, usability and tooling. Physical implementations compound problems. This won’t stop us from trying.

? Haters

“Transaction costs are high.”
You want security for high-value tokens. There’s no free lunch. Some token-gated communities use L2s and centralized apps for operations.

“What about speculators?”
They’re incentivized to add value to the community. To do otherwise puts their investment at risk.

“This is exclusionary.”
This is a critique of gated communities. Not token-gated communities. That’s beyond the scope of this report.
