      • On-chain funding

        • Often: anyone can join, contribute

      • On-chain governance

        • Proposals, voting (see E-voting next week)

      • Issue: software bugs (see DAO)

      • Issue: centralization of control, takeovers

    • next time: explain better how The DAO actually worked

      • E.g., how users put funding in, propose, vote, etc.
