NextMeta

In this episode of NextMeta, we interviewed 0xJustice from the Polygon governance team about DAO design, organizational efficiency, team topologies and a new tokenization mechanism - the Quadratic Accelerator.

0xJustice shares his journey from IT, team management and org design, to getting hyped about DAOs. As opposed to most DAOists, he is less interested in governance and decentralization - what drew him to DAOs is the idea that they are programmable organizations, which can be made more effective than current day corps.

Topics discussed
- 0xJustice's background in IT and transition to Web3
- Efficient DAO design principles
- Team topologies and organizational structure
- The Quadratic Accelerator (q/acc) project
- Bonding curves and project tokenization
- Modern Monetary Theory and its relevance to crypto
- Polygon governance and upcoming initiatives

He emphasizes the importance of streamlining teams and eliminating handoffs to increase efficiency and ownership. He also discusses the concept of team topologies and the need for programmable org design in DAOs. He concludes by mentioning the governance hub on Polygon and the use of governance legos to create flexible and adaptable governance structures.

"It's the programmability that is interesting to me."

In this conversation, peth and 0xJustice discuss Boundaryless, a consultancy media brand that produces research and certification programs on platformification and team topologies - building DAOs since before DAOs.

"If you're not the platform, you're unconsciously operating on someone else's platform."

They also delve into the Quadratic Accelerator (q/acc), a collaboration between Giveth and Polygon that aims to tokenize projects and create a better way to do grants. They explore the concept of token economics, inflation, and the challenges of driving value to tokens.

"The point of DAOs is not governance, that's kind of a side effect... The game is like, what's the mechanism? What's the value accrual mechanism?"
