A New Era in Decentralized Governance

Exciting times Ahead 🚀

We’re thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of our first Local DAOs, a significant step towards a new era in decentralized governance! At FAME, we believe that empowering communities is the key to a thriving agricultural ecosystem, and our Local DAO model is designed to do just that. In this article, we’ll explain how the Local DAO differs from the Global DAO and why this unique governance approach could be a game-changer.

What’s a Local DAO?

In the FAME ecosystem, a Local DAO is a decentralized autonomous organization where governance power is distributed among a select group of trusted members, called governors. Unlike the Global DAO, which uses token-based governance, the Local DAO uses NFT-based governance. This distinction creates a more controlled and collaborative governance structure with strong community involvement.

Why Local DAOs?

The idea behind Local DAOs is simple: give more power to the community while ensuring a stable, trustworthy governance model. The Local DAO grows organically as the initial governor adds new members by vetting them through existing governors. This process creates a ripple effect where new governors share power and build a more robust governance structure over time.

How is Local DAO Different?

The Global FAME DAO relies on token-based governance, where holding and staking $FAME tokens grant voting power. While this approach can be effective, it carries risks of centralization and manipulation, as a few large token holders can control governance.

In contrast, the Local DAO uses an organic growth model, where new governors are vetted and added through the existing governance body. This approach reduces centralization risks, promotes a stronger sense of community ownership, and ensures a more democratic decision-making process.

What Makes Local DAOs Exciting?

With our first Local DAOs launching soon, we’re bringing exciting new features that solve many of the problems commonly associated with decentralized governance:

- Community-Driven

The Local DAO grows organically, fostering a strong sense of community ownership and trust.

- Incentives for Participation

Governors earn a 10% voting power bonus for each vote and each month of NFT staking, encouraging active participation.

- Reduced Centralization

By vetting new governors through existing members, we reduce the risk of power concentration, promoting a more democratic structure.

- Stronger Governance

The vetting process ensures that only trusted individuals become governors, reducing the risk of manipulation and providing a stable governance system.

Join Us for the Launch!

As we prepare for the launch of our first Local DAOs, we invite you to join us on this exciting journey. Stay tuned for more updates, and get ready to experience a new way of decentralized governance with FAME.
