About DAOs

What if you wanted to create an online organisation that's collectively owned and managed by its members, without a CEO or central leader?

In the blockchain world, that is called a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO): an internet-native community where the rules are coded in transparent smart contracts. Instead of a hierarchy, decisions are made through group voting, giving every member a voice in the organisation's future, and control over its shared treasury.

Why build a DAO on Chiliz Chain?

Building a DAO enables your project to establish transparent, community-owned governance directly within the CHZ ecosystem. It is the most effective way to give fans genuine ownership and a direct voice.

A DAO can transform your project's Fan Token from a simple tool for polls into a key for community ownership and governance. Instead of just participating in club-sanctioned votes, a can DAO empower fans to create their own initiatives, manage the Fan Token treasury, and govern the project affairs transparently.

There are several possible use-cases for DAOs in sports communities:

• Fan Council DAO: Allow the community to act as an official digital fan council. Members could vote on specific issues to present to the club's board, elect fan representatives for official meetings, or ratify a "Fan's Charter" of expectations for the club.

• Stadium Experience DAO: Allow the community to vote on aspects of the match-day experience, such as the pre-game music playlist, food vendors for a specific fan zone, or the design of a tifo display, with the DAO managing the budget for these initiatives.

• "Up-and-Coming "Athlete Support DAO: Allow the community to sponsor a promising young athlete from the club's academy or a local hero. The community pools funds to support their training and career, in exchange for exclusive content or future incentives.

• Shared Season Ticket DAO: Allow the community to purchase a block of highly-sought-after season tickets. Members would then use a fair, transparent voting or lottery system managed by the DAO to decide who gets to use the tickets for each game.

• etc.

Imagine what a DAO could bring to your Fan Token community!
