Role Call Ep 2: The End of the Airdrop Era w/Rafa (ZK Sync)

Role Call is a 6-part miniseries on DAOs, produced by Rehash and co-hosted by Hats Protocol. In our second episode of Role Call, we're joined by special guest host, Amy Jung (Eigen Foundation), to talk to Rafa (Governance Lead at ZK Sync Association) about the future of DAO governance and the implications of the end of the era of airdrops. We talk about the challenges in designing sustainable governance models, differentiating between geographic and interest-based communities, and the concept of soft versus hard accountability in DAOs. Rafa also delves into governance at ZK Sync, the importance of modularity and composability, and the evolving mechanisms of distributing control in the crypto space. ⏳ Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 03:29 Community building and governance 12:54 Governance structures in ZK Sync 19:15 Challenges in DAO implementation 22:19 Future-proofing governance systems 32:54 The importance of feedback and accountability 33:34 Hard vs. soft accountability 37:39 The role of reputation and anonymity 45:09 Challenges in enforcing accountability 53:13 Exploring new forms of accountability 59:04 Final thoughts and where to follow everyone 👋 Follow us: Diana Chen: https://x.com/ddwchen Spencer Graham: https://x.com/spengrah Amy Jung: https://x.com/itsamyjung Rafa: https://x.com/rafathebuilder Rehash: https://x.com/rehashweb3 Hats Protocol: https://x.com/hatsprotocol Eigen Foundation: https://x.com/eigenfoundation ZK Sync: https://x.com/zksync DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.
