An Empirical Case Study of Meta-IP Chain DAO: The Pioneer Tokenless DAO

Abstract

Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) have emerged as a pioneering model for organizational structures, leveraging blockchain technology to enable transparent, decentralized governance and global participation. While the concept has gained significant attention, questions persist regarding its long-term viability and effectiveness. This paper explores the feasibility of tokenless DAOs in organizational transformation through empirical case studies. We underscore the transformative potential of DAOs in realizing human networks, leveraging the "six degrees of separation" theory to map and analyze societal dynamics. We further delve into practical implementations and challenges, by integrating DAOs into a meta-IP chain spanning multiple countries, the study demonstrates the scalability and applicability of decentralized technologies in sociological research.
