A Democratic Path to On-Chain Governance

Introduction to ATX DAO

ATX DAO is a democratic group of crypto enthusiasts building a cohesive network of developers, artists, investors and crypto professionals in Austin, Texas. The DAO organizes social events, provides education to the community, and assists in the creation of new blockchain tools.

25 ‘Genesis’ members, the holders of 25 unique NFTs, compose the voting body of the DAO.

ATX DAO is developing an off-chain Discord community into a compliant, on-chain organization composed of the 25 Genesis members. Additional membership tiers may become available as the DAO grows in size.

Mission Statement

We aim to partner with artists, local businesses, crypto funds, social clubs, and protocols to become the de facto networking resource for crypto in our region.

For a creator launching an NFT, an engineer building the next DeFi protocol, or an enthusiast investing in the space, ATX DAO aims to be Austin’s local first point of contact.

Discord Meeting Structure

Genesis members will meet weekly, initially Mondays at 5pm.

Meetings are led by a DAO Moderator, elected to a 3 month term. The purpose of the Moderator is to moderate discussion and ensure fair speaking space for equal members. A Scribe, elected to the same term, is responsible for keeping minutes and storing them after the meeting.

The meeting follows an agenda. It begins with an opening, followed by subcommittee reports, then general business. It ends with a closing review of deliverables.
