AI companions are leveling up 🤔

Treasure DAO has introduced their AI agent $MIO, which already plays Monopoly and Minecraft alongside real players…
Next up is CS:GO, where the agent won’t just play — it will trade items online and tap into real Web2 economies

The key idea is cross-platform AI companions that can be linked to a DAO and launched across different games. These agents will be able to farm resources, collect loot, complete tasks, and even generate value for their owners 🎮

Looks like “game bots” are turning into full-fledged digital assets that work for you — and are owned on-chain by a DAO

The total value of assets held across all DAOs has reached a new high of $24.5 billion 💰

Fresh data for 2025:

⚡the average treasury size per DAO is ~$1.2M
⚡top DAOs like Uniswap, Aave, Maker, Arbitrum, and Optimism each manage $500M+, holding the majority of the market
⚡the sector has grown +30% over the past year

For comparison:

🔹in 2023, DAOs held only $10–12B
🔹in 2021, around $6B

That’s nearly a 4x increase in just a few years!

DAOs are accumulating capital faster than any other Web3 organizational model — and today’s numbers look more like a starting point than a peak 📈

DAO mess up too sometimes 😬

A recent breakdown from DAO Times highlights an uncomfortable truth: many DAOs lose funds not because of hacks, but because of plain human sloppiness. Opaque grants, weak treasury oversight, and the absence of clear rules all turn into budget leaks, lost trust, and governance chaos 💥

Typical scenarios:
— grants handed out “to friends,” with no clear criteria
— zero reporting, or no one actually reviewing it
— treasury scattered across random wallets with questionable access
— votes happen formally, but no one executes the decisions

In the end, the DAO technically exists, but money disappears into the void, and contributors burn out and quietly walk away 🙅‍♂

A solid legal foundation, clear rules, written agreements and transparency aren’t bureaucracy — they’re the only way to protect the treasury and maintain community trust. Especially when a DAO grows and the stakes go from $100 to millions $$$

Full breakdown here 👉🏼

Your DAO after you hit /create_charter:

Another $9.4M crypto fraud case resulted in a five-year federal sentence

The scheme promised mining and trading returns that did not exist

Cases like this demonstrate the importance of real governance and a robust legal structure in Web3

Legal DAOs provide accountability and transparency from day one btw 😎

Anime in the hands of the community: what Japan DAO is doing 🎌

Japan has launched an interesting platform where artists, writers, and fans come together to create new anime projects collectively 🤨

The mechanics are simple:
someone brings an idea for a character or universe → the community votes → the DAO allocates a budget and assembles a team → the IP is distributed among those who actually contributed

Professional artists and writers are already involved, and fans influence the process not just through voting but by choosing the direction: which characters should go into production, which universe to develop, what merch to release, and how the project should evolve. All of this is tied to holding tokens of specific projects 💃

IP (Intellectual Property) means the rights to characters, worlds, merchandise, and licensing. Usually, studios keep full control of these rights, and creators receive only a tiny share of the profits

In Japan DAO, the IP belongs to the creators and the community that supported the launch, so a significant share of the profits goes not to the studio but to the people who actually contributed 🤩

DAO gets its first license in a real jurisdiction 📁

The Bermuda Monetary Authority has issued an official license to DerivaDEX — a derivatives platform fully governed by a DAO. This is the first license of its kind in the world

What this means in simple terms:

⚪a government regulator has recognized a structure where decisions are made not by a CEO or a company, but by a community of tokenholders
⚪DAOs have been given a green light to operate legally in an offshore jurisdiction
⚪projects like this can now bring in institutional players, work with big companies, and not worry that “the regulator will shut everything down”

And one important clarification to avoid confusion: we’ve had DAO LLCs in Wyoming and the Marshall Islands, but in those cases the licenses were issued to legal entities created around a DAO. Here, the licensed entity is the platform directly governed by the DAO, without turning it into a traditional company. This is a fundamentally different level of recognition 👍

In essence, this is the first case where a DAO-governed model has been tested against real-world legal standards — and officially approved. Not an experiment, but a fully recognized business format 😎

we're sorry.

🚨 Important

The official XDAO token has not been launched yet. Any tokens with similar names ($XDAO, $DAO, etc.) currently appearing on third-party platforms are fake and scams

We haven’t launched or listed our token on Blum or any other platform 🙅‍♂️

Also, be careful — do not connect your wallets to suspicious websites!

MetaDAO said “no” to venture funds 🚫

MetaDAO is a project on Solana that builds a network of prediction markets where users bet on outcomes and earn rewards if they’re right. The entire governance process happens through a DAO

Recently, two venture funds approached the project with an offer to invest $6 million in $META tokens — but with a 30–40% discount and a stake large enough to influence decisions within the DAO 🤷🏻‍♂️

At first glance, a standard VC deal. But within the community, a discussion started: why sell tokens below market value and give up part of the control to outside players if the project is growing steadily without it?

Most agreed that such terms created more imbalance than benefit 👎

In the end, the DAO voted to reject the offer. A few days later, $META rose about 16%, and the case quickly spread across crypto Twitter as an example of how a decentralized community can preserve a project’s independence — even when millions are on the table 😎

How to make your DAO an official organization? 📕

A legal wrapper is a framework that turns a DAO into a legally recognized entity — without losing decentralization, but with the ability to operate in the real world 🌐

What it gives your DAO:

✅ protection of members from personal and tax liability
✅ ownership of assets, tokens, and intellectual property (brand, code, content)
✅ the ability to sign contracts and work with companies
✅ access to fiat payment rails and banking infrastructure
✅ trust from investors and partners

DAObox is a full-stack legal and operational infrastructure for DAOs:

▪️ tailored legal structures based on each DAO’s governance model
▪️ ongoing management and compliance
▪️ independent directors and multi-sig signers
▪️ internal constitutions and legally enforceable rules

Now, with DAObox, DAOs created through XDAO can operate legally, securely, and just like any traditional company

Liberland: a country as a DAO 🤨

Not only cities can be governed through DAOs. Between Croatia and Serbia lies a tiny piece of land — just 7 square kilometers. In 2015, Czech libertarian Vít Jedlička declared it an independent state called Liberland 🧠

At first, it seemed like a joke. But over time, the project gained structure, citizens (now over 700,000 online) and even its own crypto-economy. Today, Liberland is being built as a decentralized republic, where governance and the economy are powered by blockchain

Every citizen can take part in voting, while the treasury and taxes are transparent and recorded in smart contracts. The goal is to move state processes into a DAO format, creating a “digital micro-nation” without bureaucracy 🖥

Liberland already has its own constitution, emblem, and “diplomats” around the world. Let’s see how this experiment unfolds 🕵‍♂

NFT ownership just went DAO on TON 💥

The Legal Module in XDAO is now live! ⚖️

No lawyers needed anymore. Record agreements, make deals, and sign contracts — all for free

XDAO’s global mission is to give every person on the planet the ability to create legally binding agreements without lawyers, in a simple and accessible form. We believe our technology makes the world a better place 🌎

All on-chain DAOs can now operate officially: create charters, sign legally binding agreements, and record commitments between members — all directly inside your organization’s chat! 💬

The update introduces three key features:

🤝 Private Deals — private agreements between DAO members, visible only to the participants who signed them. The deal is executed only after all parties sign, while non-participants see only the fact of its existence, not its content
📄 Agreements — record any internal arrangements within the DAO by consensus (for example: shares, contributions, partnership terms, or token distribution)
🏛 Charter — generate and sign your DAO’s charter, giving all agreements full legal force

Main commands to use the new features:

/create_charter — creates your DAO charter (must be sent by the chat owner of your organization)

/dao — launches the creation of an Agreement (if used in your DAO chat) or a Private Deal (if sent in a private chat with the XDAO bot)

/setup_chat_link — links your chat to your DAO

💡 Full instructions and feature descriptions are already available in the app. Check the “Legal” section

Post on X by TON’s Global Community Lead:

“Over $150M worth of Telegram Gifts are already circulating — and the number keeps growing every day.

For comparison: the CS2 skin market is valued at $5.5B, but Telegram has over 1 billion users”

Right now, two ideas are being discussed in the community. The first — DAOs that own collections of rare Telegram gifts like Plush Pepe and manage them as digital assets. The second — investing in “gift indexes”, where a DAO can buy a share of a basket of valuable, tradable gifts without owning each one directly (basically an on-chain ETF) 🎁

What do you think — should we experiment with something like this in XDAO? Would it genuinely bring value to our users, or are gifts just another short-lived trend?

NFT beer? Why not 🍺

In August 2022, BarrelDAO, a decentralized brewery (yes, really), released a collection of 333 NFTs, each serving as a “ticket” for a limited-edition Solana Summer Shandy beer case. Price — 1.35 SOL (around $45). Everything sold out instantly!

Each NFT granted the holder the right to redeem a 16-pack of beer with lemonade, featuring designs by artist Mark Lottier. The cans showcased iconic characters from Solana’s NFT scene — Degenerate Ape Academy, Okay Bears, Thugbirdz, DeGods, Solana Monkey Business, Catalina Whale Mixer, Cets on Creck, and even artwork by John Lê

Here’s the twist: BarrelDAO actually owned some of these NFTs and licensed the rest from collectors to use in the artwork. On the secondary market, these “tickets” quickly shot up in price — trading on Magic Eden for 2.69 SOL (around $90 at the time)

No, it wasn’t a Solana Labs initiative — just a pure DAO experiment that proved how community projects can merge memes, NFTs, and real-world products

A Japanese village saved itself through DAO and NFTs 🏯

In the mountains of Niigata Prefecture lies a tiny village called Yamakoshi — one of many rural Japanese towns on the brink of extinction due to youth migration and an aging population. But the locals found an unexpected solution: they created Yamakoshi DAO, also known as Neo-Yamakoshi Village

In 2021, they launched the Nishikigoi NFT collection, named after the famous ornamental koi carp originally bred in this region. Each NFT wasn’t just a picture — it acted as a digital resident ID, granting voting rights in the DAO, access to village life, and the status of a “digital citizen” 🛂

Over the years, the project raised $423,000 and attracted 1,700 digital residents. The funds go toward supporting the elderly, organizing school sports events, and funding local initiatives. Many digital citizens even travel to Yamakoshi for festivals and community gatherings — blurring the line between online and offline life 🌐

So far, Yamakoshi DAO has held six votes with 40% member participation, aiming to reach 10,000 participants and boost engagement to 80% ⬆

The project has even gained support from Japan’s government: the Liberal Democratic Party allocated around $60,000 to test Web3 solutions, while Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has publicly stated that Web3 will be part of Japan’s national digital transformation strategy 🔄

Bloody weekend on the market 🩸

Some lost, some bought the dip, and some just turned off the charts…
