The DAO experiment has produced some spectacular failures — from The DAO hack in 2016 to more recent governance attacks on DeFi protocols where large token holders pushed through proposals that extracted value at smaller holders' expense. It's also produced some surprising successes, and a growing body of practical knowledge about what governance structures actually work vs. what looks good in a whitepaper. **[DAO Governance: Lessons from the Failures (and What's Actually Working)](/node/1427)** catalogs the failure modes (plutocracy, low voter turnout, governance attacks, parameter manipulation) and examines the design responses that have emerged: delegation systems, time-locks, veto mechanisms, off-chain signaling with on-chain execution. The organizations that have learned from early failures are building more robust systems. The question is whether the crypto space will learn faster than the attackers.
