Web3-Based Decentralized Autonomous Organizations and Operations: Architectures, Models, and Mechanisms

Abstract

Empowered by blockchain and Web3 technologies, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) are able to redefine resources, production relations, and organizational structures in a revolutionary manner. This article aims to reanalyze DAOs from the perspectives of organization and operation, and provide a more precise definition of DAOs as decentralized autonomous organizations and operations. Based on this, the fundamental principles and requirements of DAOs are explained, while the infrastructure based on cyber-physical-social system (CPSS) and parallel intelligence, as well as the supporting technologies, such as digital twins, metaverse, and Web3, are discussed. Besides, a five-layer intelligent architecture is presented, and the closedloop equation and new function-oriented intelligent algorithms are also proposed. Moreover, the governance mechanisms from the individual, organizational and social perspectives are discussed, and the incentive mechanisms for the human, robot, and digital human are analyzed. This article can be regarded as a stepping stone for further research and developments of DAOs.

Enhancing the democratic nature of voting processes within decentralized autonomous organizations

“…Norta et al (2015) addressed conflict-management in cross-organizational settings. Qin et al (2022) proposed a comprehensive framework for the development of DAOs, encompassing the fundamental principles and requirements of DAOs, an infrastructure, supporting technologies such as digital twins, Metaverse and Web3, a five-layer architecture and intelligent algorithms.…”

Web3-enabled Metaverse: The Internet of Digital Twins in a Decentralised Metaverse

“…To ensure the uniqueness of UGC, MetaCube leverages a 3D Crypto dropout, a specially designed dropout that can use user information to control the UGC creation flow and create unique fine-grained 3D models. Qin et al [4] discussed the fundamental principles and requirements of DAOs, while the infrastructure is based on CPSS and parallel intelligence, as well as the supporting technologies, such as metaverse, Web3, and digital twins. Furthermore, they have proposed a five-layer intelligent architecture, a closed-loop equation, and new functionoriented intelligent algorithms for metaverse applications.…”

ChatGPT for Computational Social Systems: From Conversational Applications to Human-Oriented Operating Systems

“…To prevent the formation of monopoly and opacity, DAOs and DeSci can be used to facilitate data fusion and model collaboration. They advocate the construction of an open and transparent AI ecosystem with the democratic organizational structure and autonomous operational norms essentially different from traditional ones [26], [27]. This ecosystem is selforganized and has a flexible and extensible structure that can change with tasks, and its operational rules are encoded in smart contracts that can automatically execute, thus cannot be controlled by any party [28].…”
