Image credit: Masaru Ikeda. 東京を拠点とする Web3特化型インキュベータ Fracton Ventures は、都内でカンファレンス「DAO TOKYO」を21日と22日の2日間にわたって開催している。Web3 を実現する仕組みの一つで、ブロックチェーン技術を活用した分散型自律組織(DAO)関連のビジネスや組織に関わる人々が一堂に会し、議論を重ねたり、親交を深めたりするためのイベントだ。今年で2回目を迎える DAO TOKYO には、世界中から数百名の人々が集まった。. 21日の午前中には、DAO のトレジャリーに関するパネルディスカッションが持たれた。DAO のトレジャリーとは、コミュニティの活動で使用される資金のことだ。一般的に DAO のトレジャリーはブロックチェーン上で透明性を持って公開されるが、法やセキュリティのリスク、資金運用に関して合意を得る複雑なプロセス、運用の効率化などいくつかの課題がある。このセッションでは、DAO の資金管理や投資戦略、報酬体系、セキュリティなど、幅広いトピックについて議論が交わされた。
