How to break the deadlock in DAO governance? The Ethereum ecosystem needs higher-quality decentralized autonomous organizations.

【BitPush】The current DAO governance faces an awkward reality: although there are many, their quality varies greatly. The issues caused by token voting are becoming more and more apparent—inefficiency and susceptibility to capture—these flaws directly impact Ethereum’s decentralized expansion from the base layer to the application layer.

How to improve? The key lies in building a more refined DAO system. These organizations need to play substantive roles in areas such as oracles, on-chain dispute resolution, list maintenance, and project initiation and maintenance. From a different perspective, not all problems can be solved with the same decision-making scheme. Some are convex problems (relatively easy to optimize), while others are concave problems (full of traps and requiring caution). Distinguishing between them is crucial for designing governance mechanisms.

But there are also two major challenges hidden within. One is privacy—without privacy protection, governance becomes a social game, and voting rights are hijacked by public opinion. The second is decision fatigue—participants gradually lose enthusiasm amid frequent votes. To truly promote the ecological upgrade towards decentralization, these two issues must be addressed.
