Service DAOs

Hello Xillion.One community!

This part of our DAO coverage will be taking a dive into Service DAOs, which offer individuals and organizations with a provision of talent formations as well as supporting acquisition models.

While traditional companies look to consulting firms for advice - protocols and DAOs often have entirely different needs, operating mechanisms, and cultures that are best serviced by other crypto-native contributors. Service DAOs are quickly gaining attraction to help tackle the demand, and are positioned to service the $263+ Billion consulting market equivalent for crypto-protocols and DAOs.

The largest clients of service DAOs are other DAOs and crypto-protocols. These clients face particular challenges in development, operations, management, compensation, PR, legal, etc. that are best solved by other DAOs. If you have the skillset and are valuable to a particular DAO, there is little stopping you from finding your niche in the service segment.

Operators of DAOs have been running into many difficulties with the standardizing processes and maintenance of documentation for their DAOs, which is where the great importance of specific service focused DAOs come in to best handle those weak points for clients and their respective user bases.
