This course introduces the powerful concept of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), which are enabled by blockchain and smart contracts. DAOs enhance trust within organizations by implementing decentralized, transparent, and automated governance models.

The training begins by exploring the conceptual aspects of DAOs, including their characteristics, benefits, and use cases. Participants will learn about the functional components of blockchain and how they interact to support DAOs. The course then dives into the technical characteristics of DAOs, covering their design, implementation, and operation.

By the end of the course, participants will have a solid understanding of DAOs, their potential applications, and the technical skills to design and interact with them effectively. This training is ideal for those looking to leverage blockchain technology to build transparent, decentralized, and trustless organizational structures.  

The training will cover:

• Understanding the importance of DAOs and their trust models.
• Getting first steps via hand-on practices on become an DAO architect
• Exploring real-world use cases where DAOs are implemented.
• Learning the technical foundations of DAOs, including smart contracts and governance mechanisms.
• Exploring OppenZeppling DAO Governance Model
• Hands-on experience in working with DAOs, from creation to management.
• Risks and challenges in managing and maintaining DAO decentralization.

By the end of the training, the learners will be able to:

• Grasp  the conceptual aspects of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), including their characteristics, benefits, and use cases.
• Understand the functional components of blockchain and how they support DAO operations.
• Explore the importance of DAOs and their trust models in enabling decentralized governance.
• Analyze real-world use cases where DAOs are implemented across various industries.
• Gain technical knowledge of DAO foundations, including smart contracts and governance mechanisms.
• Develop hands-on skills in designing, creating, and managing DAOs.
• Identify and address risks and challenges in maintaining DAO decentralization and governance.
• Apply blockchain technology to build transparent, decentralized, and trustless organizational structures.
• Evaluate the potential applications of DAOs for innovation and organizational transformation.
• Acquire the tools and knowledge to effectively interact with and contribute to DAO ecosystems
