S3 E11 | The Ultimate Use Case for DAOs w/Aaron Soskin

On this episode of Rehash, we sat down with Aaron Soskin, founder of Govrn. Govrn is a DAO contribution platform designed to enable DAOs to be defined by their contributors. By recording your contributions and allowing other DAO members to attest to those contributions, you can maintain ownership over your work and keep an on-chain record of the value you provide to DAOs.In this DAO forward episode, we cover a variety of topics from rage quitting and politics to the ways in which Govrn can help DAOs and their contributors. Aaron stresses the importance of DAOs being defined by the emergent properties that arise as the result of contributors providing value, and we discuss how Govrn allows contributors to own their work and get more meaningful validation for the work they do. We discuss the pros and cons of rage quitting, and Aaron explains why he’s a rage quit maxi. He also explains why it’s important for DAOs to enable divergence and convergence and shares that rage quitting doesn’t have to be permanent. We later explore the human aspect of DAOs and discuss the nuances of decentralization, acknowledging that technology can’t solve all human coordination issues. We discuss DAOs in the light of politics and what that intersection could look like. We acknowledge the recent events (FTX) and discuss what the future may hold for DAOs in the coming months and years - agreeing that not all DAOs need to be permanent. Aaron closes with speaking so passionately that his mic crumbles, starting SexySongDAO, answering some fun questions, and leaving  listeners with how to get started using Govrn.  🔗 FOLLOW USRehash: https://twitter.com/rehashweb3Diana: https://twitter.com/ddwchenAaron: https://twitter.com/AaronSoskinGovern: https://twitter.com/GovrnHQ ⌛ TIMESTAMPS0:00 Intro0:28 Sponsors4:03 Welcome Aaron!5:16 Aaron’s background8:56 Contributor first DAOs11:11 Ownership over contributions16:31 Recording contributions18:25 Contribution language20:42 LinkedIn for DAOs24:50 Aaron is a rage quit maxi 29:21 Convergence and divergence in rage quitting34:26 Humans, tech, and decentralization37:34 DAOs and politics41:54 SexySongDAO 45:30 Real life use cases for DAO49:21 Why Diana likes DAOs54:56 DAOs in the current bear market1:03:48 Ephemeral DAOs1:07:54 Fun Questions!1:11:17 Follow Aaron! 🤝 SPONSORSLens Protocol: https://lens.xyzAvenue: https://avenue.placeGovrn: https://govrn.app DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is the opinion of the speaker(s) only and is for informational purposes only.
